I just figured out what went wrong for me. I live in Chicago and I mixed up my Bears contest picks with my Packer picks. DA Bears have drafted 3 of the players I have in the Amish contest. WTF!

Unofficially I have 3 people with 7 pts. Any correct round 7 pick is worth 10 pts.

Nice attendance for the draft!

Chicago hosted the draft twice, and only had 425,000 fans combined. The last 2 years have the highest attendance, so does that mean attending the Draft is getting more popular, or just the cities of Detroit and Green Bay are better places to host the event? I guess time will tell, so stay tuned.. .Pittsburgh you are officially the NFL Draft clock.

Whoa!!!!! 600K???? I thought I read that official attendance was 205,000?
They have no real good way of knowing how many people were there. I never once got checked for my pass. People were coming in from all directions and were never officially checked. I was there on Thursday and Saturday and people were everywhere at all times.

I know, we had our phones out for the pass and nobody asked us for it. The only thing I can think of is when registering, you had to mark which days you would be there.

Yeah only a few stations checked for your OnePass QR code. But you had go through security, so maybe that's how they counted people.

How much of it was open air? Because at a lot of events, they fly over, take photographs, and count the crowd.

Lot of buildings. Lot of open air areas. Lots of people in stadium concourses. Just big crowds everywhere.

I saw an article that mentioned cameras at the entry points.
Big Brother knew how many were there and who everybody was.
My guess would be facial recognition software doing the attendance count. Or every time the metal detector was passed through. They said the gates were closed for a while on day one because it hit max capacity. I wonder how many more there could have been that night. Counts show more showed up Saturday. Maybe because it was longer. As we were leaving in the 7th round, there were people streaming in for the concert.

Hats off to Tom Grassi. For all I know, he is a poster here. For all you know, I am Tom Grassi ;)

In any case, if you haven't ever watched any of his shows, you are missing out. While I can't say that I have watched every one of them, I have watched quite a few. Always entertaining and always informative. He actually reminds me of Jim Carrey.

I didn't watch the final 2 rounds of the draft, so I missed his moment on stage, but glad that Mark Murphy and the Packers gave him that moment! I love Charlie Berens for his Packer Comedy, but Grassi adds some wisdom to the comedic process.

If you are out there Tom, congrats for the career you have worked so hard to establish. More importantly, thanks for all the great work that you do in raising money and awareness for others. I think being on that Draft stage tells some of us, you have arrived!

Could be you have it in your cache or maybe it only works for Twitter/X members....I deleted my account in November.

I actually pulled it off of Twitter/X, so that's probably the issue. Packers.com posted it on there, so you could find it on their website if you are interested.

If you were Tom Grossi, I would think you'd spell your name right.

Unless Grassi is the real spelling, and Grossi is just a stage name...

Anyway, yeah, a hard working content creator and Packer fan. From what I understand, he's moving to a small town outside of Milwaukee this summer from Florida. So he'll likely be involved in more Lambeau events in the future. I wonder if Wildflower will be there when we play the Commanders?

If you understood that last bit, you're definitely familiar with his channel.

Or maybe that misspelling was intentional to throw you off the trail ;)

This "Wildflower" episode was hilarious!

He's leaving the dystopian waste land known as New York. Not Florida.
