    I plan on going on day 3 because the crowd shouldn't be that big and because it is during the day. I don't drive at night anymore my eyes are just too bad.

    I believe @DJ18Baller@DJ18Baller plans to attend

    I will probably avoid it like the plague

    Plus the Steelers first pick is after I have my jammies on

    I think I will go. My brother and I have already been planning on trying to attend. Might bring our dad along as well. Should be just a first round affair, but depending on how we feel on it we could end up sticking around for day 2.

    I’ll be there all 3 days have lots of family coming in. Should be a blast especially if they get a high picked QB.

    I wouldn't know any player drafted so it'd be a waste of time for me but I'm damn glad Pittsburgh is hosting. I remember how huge it was for Philly.

    I checked hotel room availability and prices downtown for the last night for the dates of the draft. Yikes!

    I looked into the logistics a little. I've got people I can stay with, but that leaves the issue of parking. I'm sure the experience would be cool and I've got a couple of friends who are talking about going together, but I can't see wanting to stay more than a couple of hours and I'm not sure it would be worth it.

    I’m definitely going to be there. Which hotels will be within walking distance, Elvis? Do you know?

    Very few have rooms, and the ones that do are generally > $1k per night. The EVEN hotel still has rooms at a bit over $600/night per the hotels.com app.

    Actually no

    It was a tongue in cheek comment

    I live a ways north and it would not be practical

    That is part of my lack of enthusiasm for going plus I can’t see at night

    Thinking of doing so, but the family I got closest is in Altoona, and that's over a hour drive away, and I already seen how high the Motels around there will be then. So.....:shrug:

    I worked in Altoona for awhile. That's a good two hours from Steel City, not factoring in traffic.

    When the Steelers draft #1 overall next season we will all be the there. Parking will be a nightmare. Ubers will be expensive. Hotels will be outrageous but we will all go to watch them draft a punter
    And trade for Shadeur Sanders.
