Saw this on another message board and though to share....

I think what he's trying to say is the average fan doesn't get to go, and he's right.

"Fan friendly" would be having a troop of marauding, knife-throwin', bowling pin-jugglin', fire-eatin', circus monkeys entertaining the fans. This thing they're having is just lip service...

Hard for me to think about a draft day party hosted by the team without getting flashbacks to Miami's draft gathering last year where Cam Cameron nearly got booed off the stage when trying to explain to the fans why they took Ted Ginn Jr.

Especially if Linehan takes a tightend...

Aha! My suspicions are correct! You merely run this site for the millions of $$ in profit!

I can picture it now, the commissioner walks up to the podium to announce the second pick and everyone at the event is on their cell phone or discussing the next big St. Louis social event.....

My mental image of how they're going to set this up was of the "onfield" variety. How is space limited? Just put the draft video on the jumbotron, set up big buffet/concession in each end zone and charge $10 a head and I bet most fans would fork it over just for the chance to go on the field.

Wow! There are a bunch of "Debbie Downers" on this site. I think it is a great idea. Never before have they offered this to PSL holders at least in the six years I have had them. I have gone to one before under Martz and it was a blast.

Go RAMS!

It's not that I think it's a bad idea, it's that I don't think you can call it being fan friendly. While it's fan friendly for those of you with PSLs, for the rest of us it's nothing to care about in the least. I can't go, I have no chance of going, so it doesn't much impact me at all. Fan Friendly would be doing something that all fans could attend.

I guess you could call it "Fan Friendish" because it's at least more than nothing.
