NFBC Message Boards

Has NFBC considered the potential for adding a day of live drafts the week before Week 1 in Vegas & New York?

My Week 0 proposal would be a road trip that rotates every three years. In 2019 you’d draft live at a Grapefruit League site. Followed by a Cactus League draft site in 2020.
Then in 2021 the Week 0 draft site would be in/near Cooperstown.
Back to Florida the following year as the rotation continues.

Sounds cool to me.

What are the challenges or disadvantages of trying this?

Was anything like this tried ever?

Yes and no. A few years ago (I think around the third year of the Main Event), the NFBC held drafts in Florida, first in Tampa, then in Orlando. The thought was it was a shorter trip for those of us in the South, but mainly folks could also tie in some Grapefruit league games. We would have a few leagues every year, but Florida never really took off.
