Tom,

Change the venue from NYC to AC and I promise you that we will give you your well deserved party....

I am thinking "Minnesota Vikings pleasure cruise meets A Night out with Pacman Jones & Javon Walker" type of of gig.

The Borgata would be the perfect back drop.

Greg/Tom:

GREAT JOB, again!!!

Personally, I LOVE the 3+ hours between the Main Event/Classic & NBC drafts. It gave us time to "download" the 1st draft, "re-fuel" & get mentally refreshed before the mahiem starts again.

Suggestion, how about a big game watching party immediately following the NBC draft in the same room. I know, there are only College football games on, but still fun. During the "post draft party", all draft boards could be displayed (Classic, Draft Champions, etc.), open bar AND "finger food" menu could be available (no cost to NFFC). In Vegas (or Atlantic City, if moved there), the host hotel could also provide a private sports book table too!!!

This "game watching" party could be easily set up, roll in the TV's & sports bookie...open bar, lots of fantasy talk & board comparisons, etc. Bottom line, the longer you can encourage participants to engage & socialize, the better chance for retention for the next year.

Just my thoughts...

GREAT JOB, GUYS!!!! The facilitators Rock...especially REX!!!!!

Bret

I love this guy.

I've been pushing the Borgata for alittle while now. The City can't match the candy.

AC would be great but not going to happen. new orleans would rock but the weather might also. what kind of idea is NASHVILLE. better than atlanta,

It's a moot argument, anyway...Greg would never choose these smaller cities as venues.
