NY Knicks 2015 Draft Party

The New York Knicks hosted the 2015 Knicks Draft Viewing Party Presented by Chase on June 25th at The Theater at Madison Square Garden. Approximately 3,000 fans came out to see who the hometown team would select with the 4th Overall Selection of the 2015 NBA Draft. They selected Kristaps Porzingis, a 7’ 1’’ forward from Latvia, with their pick. Soon afterwards, there was a live phone call between the CEO of MSG and Porzingis (which was shared with the audience), and the fans cheered to welcome him when it was completed.

Of course, a FILO event would not be complete without other various attractions to keep the attendees engaged. The night included Knicks Legends Walt Frazier and John Starks, who talked on stage to the crowd, a full-size court that hosted multiple competitions, including a 3-point shootout, and many prizes for all of the activities, which included 4 tickets to Opening Night and a private tour of Terminal 23. DJ Mode and the Knicks Dancers also attended to energize the fans.

FILO’s role included driving a box truck across America with the custom full-court and warm-up court, as well as graphics and signage installation and creating a custom branded countdown clock to showcase the NBA Draft as it took place.
