[QUOTE="Sky King, post: 865617, member: 7171"] Your hearts in the right place and I'll give you that. Ignoring the absolute importance of logistics is not anything that I would count on the NFL doing though. If there is a private but unspoken rotational agreement in place for which NFL city hosts the draft then Green Bay will get its turn. Be careful what you ask for. I hope the rewards to the local economy and status make dealing with the negatives worth it. For anyone living in Green Bay, you may be in for both a pleasant and some very unpleasant and expensive surprises that will be coming your way. Otherwise, what's so bad about being a beautiful very small town that ironically happens to be home to perhaps the most storied franchise in the NFL? No other city can make that claim. Why take being too small to properly host such a large gathering so personal as you seem to be doing? Why not celebrate the positives of Green Bay rather than reach for something that's perhaps too daunting and way too much trouble for a city its size? There's no shame in being the quaint small town that Green Bay happens to be. Every city should be so lucky. Gameday is fantastic and I would recommend that any fan who wants to see Lambeau Field attend a game there someday. Nobody does it better. Green Bay's identity is one-of-a-kind. It's a high compliment for Green Bay to just be itself. Trying to be like a bigger city would actually be a come-down. But the NFL draft? Let some other metropolitan areas deal with all the logistical headaches, expenses, crimes, and rowdiness that's absolutely certain to be involved. All those types of problems have been just down the road from me for the past thirty years. I've seen it close up. With all due respect, you don't know what you don't know. IMHO, you really don't want to find out either. [/QUOTE]
