The Welcome to Michigan Hockey Cast 6.26 where we're reeling in a badger, a sun devil, a bulldog, and maybe even a tiger. Alex you did it you did an event earlier this year that we talked about, where you watched

mascots play in a game and run into each other presumably. But this is slightly more high profile of an event.

Was anyone at it or were you there by yourself?

The NFL draft had a lot of people there.

So it wasn't just you?

Turns out that, I think over the three days they

had 700,000 there is what they said. And you went down there? On Thursday

but it it was not the most fruitful trip of all.

It wasn't the most fruitful?

Where did you park?

Did you park at MGM?

No, we parked out in midtown.

I was surprised that the traffic was not wasn't crazy at all

getting down there what time did you go oh I wanted to go a lot earlier but I was

unable to do to scheduling issues and so I got down there probably around six six

o'clock maybe six thirty so that seems reasonable in terms of like wanting to be there in time for the action to start.

It doesn't seem reasonable in terms of when the rest of the city is probably going to show up.

Yeah, I think the traffic I encountered, there was a little bit of it on 94, like inside the city limits, but it really wasn't much different than if you went to like a Tigers game on a Wednesday in

right because like it just most people are probably like partying and

hanging out and tailgating I mean it was a nice day yeah it was was nice weather. Maybe a little chilly at the end but

but I walked down there and they had two separate areas they had the draft day in the D

area. Okay.
