April’s draft will take place in Las Vegas, the soon-to-be home of John Gruden and the Raiders.

Vegas + the NFL seems like the perfect way to go above and beyond in the “excess” department, and as such, the stage is going to be constructed over water featuring boats that will ferry the players to the stage.

That’s bonkers. Imagine getting drafted, then you get on a boat to go do your hug with Roger Goodell. That’s gotta be the experience of a lifetime.

Here are some graphics of the fan experience, which is all of the other stuff in the vicinity that you can check out aside from the draft itself:

There will also be a display of soon-to-be Las #Vegas @Raiders @NFL Championship Trophies. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2020 pic.twitter.com/qE6FGjgbD7

Gnarly. I really dig it.

If you went down to the draft in Philadelphia, it was a good time, wasn’t it? There was a lot of stuff to do, plenty of cool interactive things with a very open and friendly layout at the Art Museum. You just needed to avoid the “religious” weirdos who were standing out front telling us that we’re all going to hell because we watch football:

“Religious” weirdo: “And I’d like to tell you very simply…”

Fan: “The Eagles are masturbators?”

“Religious” weirdo: “No. No, not that.”
