The NFL made a first on Wednesday when Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the destination of the 2018 would be in an NFL stadium.
Goodell announced Wednesday that the Dallas Cowboys will host the 2018 NFL Draft at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The draft will run April 26-28.
The NFL held the draft in Philadelphia this past spring, and Chicago in 2015 and 2016.
Philadelphia was the first time a host city held the draft outside, and it set an attendance record for the event.
“Philadelphia raised the bar by taking the Draft to another level, and this new opportunity in Dallas will enable us to continue the event’s evolution and grow it even further,” Goodell said in a release. “We are grateful to the Dallas Cowboys, the cities of Arlington, Dallas, and Frisco, and the Dallas Sports Commission for their leadership in turning this vision into reality.”
