re: Why the hell would anyone want to go to the NFL draft?

My aunt and uncle are retired season ticket holders to the Texans and have been for like 15 years or so. They're semi-friendly with Cal McNair, have sat in his personal box a few times for games. They got an offer (not directly from ownership) for free tickets to the draft, and would be given free transport to and from the hotel and also an assortment of free merchandise (to show off new merch on TV if they got shown). They'd have to pay for airfare and hotel but everything else was to be taken care of. They seemed like they'd have done it if it were anywhere but Detroit.
