NFL Draft 2018: Details, Renderings Announced For AT&T Stadium

ARLINGTON, TX — The trophy for hosting the ultimate NFL Draft experience is sure to go to Dallas this year. As details of the draft continue to emerge, fans are getting a first look at renderings of the Draft Theater, which will be located square on the field of Arlington's AT&T Stadium, as well as a three-day lineup of NFL-themed events.

The draft will be held in the Dallas Cowboys' home stadium from April 26 to 28, and fans of all ages can play games and meet players in the outdoor "NFL Draft Experience" throughout.

The experience, spanning an area nearly the size of 26 football fields, is described as an gathering of exhibits, games, virtual reality experiences, free player autographs and more.

Not only does the event mark a first for North Texas, but it will also make history for the NFL. This year's draft marks the first time such an event will be held in a NFL stadium.

An NFL spokesman told Patch the league does not yet know how many people will be in attendance at the stadium, but nearly 250,000 fans from all 50 states and the District of Columbia have already registered for the chance to win free seated tickets.

Dallas Cowboy Drew Pearson said the past draft experiences will pale in comparison to the one scheduled for 2018.

"For those who believed last year's NFL Draft created an amazing atmosphere, just wait until this year's event," Pearson said. "From incredibly passionate Dallas Cowboys fans, to the largest free football festival in league history, the 2018 NFL Draft will be the biggest and best one yet. No doubt about it."
