NFL Draft Locations
NFL Draft day is one of the most exciting days in the NFL offseason. Every year, fans of all 32 teams anxiously await to see who their team will select in the draft. The location of the draft also plays a big role in the excitement. The draft has been held in various locations across the country, from New York City to Nashville. Let’s take a look at some of the most recent NFL Draft locations.
Cleveland, Ohio
The 2021 NFL Draft will be held in Cleveland, Ohio. It will be the 82nd annual meeting of National Football League (NFL) franchises to select newly eligible players for the upcoming NFL season. The draft is scheduled to be held from April 29th-May 1st and will be hosted by schools, museums, and outdoor spaces across Cleveland’s downtown area.
It was announced on August 21, 2019 that Las Vegas, Nevada was selected as the host city for the 2020 NFL Draft. On March 26, 2020, the NFL announced that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 NFL Draft would be conducted virtually with club personnel making their selections from their homes or facilities. The 2021 NFL Draft was originally scheduled to take place in Kansas City, Missouri, but due to pandemic-related construction delays at Arrowhead Stadium, it was moved to Cleveland. This will mark the first time Cleveland has hosted the draft since 1961.
Cleveland was also slated to host the draft in 2016 and 2017, but those plans were scrapped due to ongoing renovations at FirstEnergy Stadium.
New York City, New York
New York City, New York, will be the host city for the 2021 NFL Draft. This will mark the first time that the Draft will be held in New York City since 1961. The event will take place from April 29 to May 1, 2021. It is currently unknown where the Draft will be held within New York City.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The NFL Draft is coming to Philadelphia in 2017, and it’s going to be a big event. The city is already gearing up, with hotels and restaurants preparing special packages and events for draft weekend.
