The Fantasy
Huddle Recap.
Fantasy football personality Lisa Ann hosted two full days of draft parties at Tailgate Beach Club. Leagues ran their drafts poolside and opened the season the way Vegas does.
A draft weekend worth talking about all season.
Leagues skipped the living room. Two days, five pools, the wall-to-wall LED screens for the draft board, and Lisa Ann holding court over the whole huddle, talking picks, sleepers, and season-long bragging rights while preseason football rolled on the screens.
Built for league weekends.
Drafting with the guru
Lisa Ann hosted both days: the fantasy voice millions follow, live on the deck for draft season's biggest weekend.
Whole leagues, poolside
Cabanas and daybeds fit full leagues with room for the trash talk, and draft party packages set crews up screens-to-snacks.
Football everywhere
Preseason games rolled on the screens all weekend. Leagues scouted late-round fliers in real time between picks.
Leagues. Poolside.
Leagues booked full draft party setups, and day guests came for the draft-weekend energy. Catch football game days poolside, or start planning your league’s 2027 draft.
