Images of Stage for 2020 NFL Draft in Las Vegas Unveiled and They're Absolutely Ridiculous
By Adam Weinrib
If you thought the NFL Draft's recent relocation attempts/downtown takeovers of major metropolitan areas were thoroughly ridiculous, then allow us to introduce you to whatever's going on at the Bellagio in Vegas for this year's edition!
The stage setup for the 2020 Draft was just leaked via digital imagery, and it seems untenable in every way.
Did you think the draft broadcast last year was just a little too short? Introducing...Draft Boats!

This. League. No wonder Rob Lowe's such a fan.
Yes, it seems to be the NFL's intention to ship their top prospects to the stage, through the fountains, via small pontoons, presumably with glass bottoms so they can view all the failed Gators underneath (Jachai Polite, is that you?).
This is pretty cool: The stage for the 2020 NFL Draft in Las Vegas will be on the water at the Fountains of Bellagio.

Once selected, players will be taken to the main stage by boat.

Perhaps the most pertinent question here: Can draft prospects still exuberantly greet Roger Goodell with a chest bump, seeing as he might end up completely submerged?
a hyped up defensive lineman is absolutely going to tackle Roger Goodell into the Bellagio fountains and it’s going to be the greatest moment in NFL history

Where does the crowd go? Where's the green room? Who cares? Draft Boats!
