NFL owners are expected to vote Tuesday to confirm Minneapolis as the host of the 2028 NFL Draft, ESPN reported Monday.
The 2026 draft took place in Pittsburgh last month, with the 2027 event scheduled for the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
NBC Sports reported that the 2028 draft itself would be conducted in and around U.S. Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings since 2016, and also would have a presence all around the Twin Cities.
Through the 2014 draft, the NFL conducted the annual event in New York. Since then, the league has turned it into an extremely popular road show, taking the annual event straight to fans in NFL cities.
Since then, the draft has been held in the home cities of 10 franchises: the Bears, Eagles, Cowboys, Titans, Browns, Raiders, Chiefs, Lions, Packers and Steelers. The 2020 draft was held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sports Business Journal reported earlier this month that Cincinnati and the Bengals likely will host the 2029 draft.
It's big business for any city that hosts the draft. Pittsburgh set the record for largest total attendance in NFL draft history with 805,000 attendees over three days from April 23-25. Organizers in Washington, D.C., have said they expect a crowd of more than 1 million people.
