NFL offers 250 fans a chance to go inside NFL combine at Indy

What's next for NFL fans? Entrance to a team's "war room" on the first day of the [url=http://www.mynikejerseys.com/]cheap nfl jerseys[/url]?
Maybe a few [url=http://www.mynikejerseys.com/]cheap nba jerseys[/url] individuals sitting in the back of the meeting room while Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and his staff finalize the game plan for an upcoming opponent?

OK, maybe [url=http://www.mynikejerseys.com/]cheap nhl jerseys[/url] not.
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 [url=http://www.mynikejerseys.com/]cheap mlb jerseys[/url] 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, [url=http://www.mynikejerseys.com/]cheap jerseys[/url] 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."

It's debatable whether the NFL's legion of personnel types and executives will embrace the marketing venture. The league's competition committee has been steadfast in trying to keep the exhaustive evaluation process as private as possible.
However, that has given way to the NFL Network, which will air more than 50 hours of the workouts and interviews with players and NFL coaches and general managers starting Thursday.
Now, 250 so-called NFL Insiders will enjoy a slice of the combine on a personal level.
Foster, in his seventh year as president of National Football Scouting, recalls a much more private time.

"When I first got here, we weren't even on television, and I think there were about 200 media," he said. "Now, I don't know how many hours we're on live, and I believe last year we had 600 credentialed media.
"We've evolved so much."
The NFL took a similar step the week prior to Super Bowl XLVI. It sold 7,300 tickets online at $25 each for fans to attend Media Day at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The latest outreach, admitted Foster, is the NFL's attempt at "bridging the time gap between the Super Bowl and the draft. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out."
Two people were quick to respond via Twitter to The Indianapolis Star regarding the NFL including fans in the combine experience by registering at 1iota.com. An individual is asked to include a short comment on why he or she should be selected.
"It was a quick 350 max on why you should go, along with a picture," Rose Boggs wrote. "I submitted it this morning and had 2 tickets by the afternoon."
Heather Kirk wrote: "You had to write an 'essay' and submit photo. Fan contest or beauty contest?"
