Cleveland did a great job hosting the NFL draft on the downtown lakefront 2 years ago. The City made a great impression; guests were impressed; had a great time.
Yep, I was down there all 3 days when the Draft waa in Cleveland. I talked to people from all over the country and most of them enjoyed their time in Cleveland.
I'm not sure how the draft went in Vegas I'm sure it was great but Nashville is the gold standard for hosting the NFL draft. Detroit will host the upcoming NFL draft in 2024. I hope the world gets to see Detroit at it's best and I believe we will put on a draft better than any other city besides maybe Nashville.
I went to the one in Vegas in 2022, it was a pretty good one. Even though, it was in the 90s during my whole stay, it was still fun. I plan on attending the Draft in Detroit next year. It'll be my first time in Detroit, so do you know any great local restaurants and things to do?

I'm from there but I haven't lived in Detroit in more than a decade and a half so I'm out of the loop but there's a lot of new development in I could ask my family as I will definitely probably go back for the draft in Detroit as well though I know there's been a lot of revitalization in Midtown/Downtown area of Detroit.
I thought Kansas City did itself very proud with this year's NFL draft, which took place in front of the city's iconic (and restored) Union Station.
The producers did throw in some crowd shots with the National World War I Memorial, just uphill from the station, in the background.
For those of you here saying that only Nashville "has (had) what it takes," what did you think of the draft in KC? My hometown is way cooler and more self-confident than it was when I lived there, but I would say that it too is also one of those cities that sees itself as starved for attention or overlooked by the big dogs.

I really wanted to go to the one in KC beacuse I wanted to see what KC was all about but life happened.
The downside was that it was the first one after the pandemic and before all the social distancing restrictions had fully been removed, so not as many people were able to be there compared to other host cities.
Actually, there wasn't a number restriction at the Draft when it was in Cleveland.
I don't think it's possible a city could ever surpass the show that Nashville put on, but I hope Detroit has success hosting the NFL draft.
That's great optics for Detroit to showcase its revitalized downtown.
I wonder if the NFL has been intentionally choosing cities that have been marred in the press. so far, it's been Chicago, Vegas, Cleveland, Philly and now Detroit since they've made the owners select the venues.
