Detroit set to break all-time NFL Draft attendance record with 550,000 attendees so far

by

Motor City is ready to break a record. With 550,000 fans in attendance through the first two days of the NFL Draft, Detroit will top the all-time attendance mark for the event on Day 3, NFL chief football administration officer Dawn Aponte announced in her opening remarks Saturday.

Detroit is set to break the record previously set in 2019 by Nashville, which drew 600,000 fans over the three-day event.

Detroit already broke Nashville’s record for Day 1 and Day 2 draft attendance of 200,000 fans each day. Commissioner Roger Goodell said a record 275,000 fans turned up Thursday for Day 1 and that another 230,000 were in attendance Friday night.

“So Detroit, you’re within 100,000 of breaking the all-time record,” he said at the time.

Rounds 4-7 are underway Saturday, televised on ESPN/ABC and NFL Network and in Spanish on ESPN Deportes.
