Join the Sonics for our 2007 Draft Party, presented by Miller Genuine Draft, at Fisher Pavilion at Seattle Center on Thursday, June 28. Doors open at 3:00 p.m. PT and the event will run from 4:00 – 9:00 p.m.

Voice of the Sonics Kevin Calabro will serve as emcee and fans will have the opportunity to meet various Sonics Legends, as well as Sonics mascot Squatch and members of the Sonics Dance Team. ESPN’s live coverage of the 2007 NBA Draft will be broadcast on multiple large-screen televisions inside the event, and one large-screen television outside the pavilion.

With area fan interest in the NBA Draft at an all-time high, capacity within Fisher Pavilion has been reached by Sonics Emerald Club members (Season Ticket Holders) and SuperNet subscribers. 99 pairs of tickets for the Fisher Pavilion beer garden have been made available by Draft Party media partner KISW 99.9 FM. Beginning tomorrow morning on KISW’s “BJ Shea Morning Experience,” fans will have the chance to win tickets to the exclusive draft party.

Given the event’s unprecedented demand, the party has been extended to the Fisher Pavilion plaza and roof to accommodate more fans. Sonics fans can enjoy live coverage of the NBA Draft, a beer garden and interactive games. In addition, radio stations KTTH 770 AM, KIRO 710 AM and KJR 950 AM will be broadcasting live.

“This year’s NBA Draft is one of the most significant events in Sonics history,” said Sonics & Storm Senior Vice President of Sales / Marketing Brian Byrnes. “We encourage Sonics fans to be part of the official Sonics Draft Party as we launch the next generation of Sonics basketball.”
