As far as I'm concerned you really only have two basic ways to enjoy the draft this Thursday. You can either simulcast the broadcast with the dulcet tones of the crew on CSR radio, or you can head to Charlotte to be a part of the draft part festivities. My duties around the site, and other assignments has kept me from heading to the draft party, but it seems like a great opportunity for a CSR meetup at the stadium for those who were planning to go.

When: 5:30-10:30 PM, Thursday 4/26

Where: Bank of America Stadium (South entrance off Moorehead St)

What's going on: There will be a field goal contest, QB/WR challenge, tours of the locker room, players available to sign autographs and, of course, a live telecast of the NFL draft.

Kudos for the Panthers for putting on this kind of event for the fans. The pagentry of the draft has become overblown in recent years, but it's still great to get the fan-base together. If you're planning to head to the party, or have gone in the past please share your experience in the comments. Hopefully those going can participate in an impromptu CSR meetup.

Reminder: Don't forget your daily vote for Cam Newton to grace the cover of Madden 2013!
