Oakland Raiders Draft Party: Day One Gathering at Ricky's in San Leandro

by Raymond St. Martin (Saint) on Apr 17, 2009 9:00 AM PDT

VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE: I Spoke to Ricky's wife this morning and she informed me that the Oakland Raider Boosters actually rent the place out for the day and that they control ticket sales. The local club is sold out, so I am looking around for any others that may have some. If we are unable to get in there, we could go to the Englander in San Leandro, or the Warehouse in Oakland.

For those of you who are not familiar with Ricky's Sports Bar in San Leandro, let me just say this, it is the in and off-season home of Oakland Raider Nation.

They serve a mean breakfast and carry Tommy V's Bloody Mary Mix, for those of you who like Bloody Marys.

I can call up and reserve a couple of tables for us, if we have enough interest.

We may have the ability to do some SUPER live Blogging across the SBN Network. I'd like to set up a webcam to catch the live reaction when the Raiders make thier pick and we can broadcast it across SBN.

Here is the map and driving directions:

For those who cannot make it, hopefully we will have the Podcast and webcam up by then and you can tune in.

Cheers,

Saint

What sucks is that I would go

If the draft was one week later- then I’ll be home from college. I’m really not liking this college thing to much anymore!! j/k

LMAO!!!

But when they start scheming us the way these guys did, and we weren't particularly ready for it, anything can happen."

Flying in from Ohio...

I’ve always wanted to attend the draft party at Ricky’s and decided that this was the year. I’ve been to Oakland twice for games and went to Ricky’s both times but I’ve never been there for the draft. I’m flying in on Friday afternoon and will be there for both days of the draft (after attending the A’s game on Friday night). Can anyone give me any advice on attending? (What time do they open? What time should I get there to make sure I have a seat at the bar? Do I need to bring anything? etc.) Thanks!

JUST WIN BABY!
