NFL Will Allow Fans to Attend Combine

The N.F.L. is going to try and cash in on one of it’s biggest events. The N.F.L. has announced that 250 people will be allowed into the combine as spectators. This unprecedented move is sure to go over well, even if it will only be 250 people.

But in an attempt at further involving the fan base in its massively popular product, the NFL is offering 250 fans an opportunity to be in the Lucas Oil Stadium stands next weekend for a portion of the NFL Scouting Combine.

Individuals can register at 1iota.com, which is handling the beta test for the league. Those selected will observe quarterbacks and receivers working out the morning of Feb. 26. The combine, a fixture in the city for more than two decades, makes its return visit from Wednesday to Feb. 28.

“They’ve been asking us to put fans in the stands for the last four years,” said Jeff Foster, director of the locally based National Football Scouting. “Obviously this is important to the NFL, so we’re excited to partner with them on the opportunity.”

How does one get this opportunity you have to go to 1iota.com to enter. Apparently each entry is a 350 word or less essay on why you should be given the tickets.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go this year, but hopefully next year I’ll be able to afford the trip.

Good luck to anyone who enteres.
