The NFL is “expected to award the 2028 draft to Minneapolis” during the owners meetings this week. A formal announcement is “likely to come Tuesday following a vote by owners.”
Local organizers led by the Minnesota Sports & Events commission submitted a bid in March for the event. This year’s draft in Pittsburgh drew a record 805,000 fans across the three days. MSE EVP/Business Development & Tourism Matt Meunier in March said that U.S. Bank Stadium would be a “‘foundational piece’ of the draft footprint.”
There also is a 4.2-acre park adjoining the stadium, known as The Commons. Weather in Minnesota can still be cold when the draft is held in late April, and Meunier said that the league had asked MSE to “‘lean into’ the stadium itself as part of its proposal.” The 2027 NFL Draft is scheduled to take place in D.C. (ESPN.com, 5/18).

Oh they’ll clean up the city, just like the Nazis got rid of all the Anti-Semitic signs for the 1936 Olympic Games.
Of course!
Mayor Jacob Frey is now wanting Minneapolis to HOST the 2028 NFL Draft..

How can they play the game, when the ball is made out of pigskin?
And yet NC lost the All-Star game because ********* (bathrooms)?
The Sammies are going to love it.
Therefore they are halal and safe to eat when their EBT cards are deactivated.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. May the league disappear into the dustbin of history.

NFL is queer. They took out ads to tell everyone.
