Your 2018 NFL Draft Will Be Located In... Dallas

[PhoenixEagles1]

What are you basing that on? AT&T stadium is a destination for NFL fans to come see even when games aren't being played. Getting to come see it during the draft would probably be a pretty good draw.

Oh, Is Arlington a large downtown area where 10's of thousands of people can walk to the event from their house? I honestly don't know? I based it on how crazed Eagles fans are.

No, Arlington is a suburb slightly south and in the middle of the Dallas and Ft Worth. It's not walking distance, it's certainly a destination location. You need to be planning to go there in order to end up there.

That's why I think Philly has a much larger turnout. People could be sitting on the couch last minute and say, "Hmmm, maybe I'll walk down to the draft and see what's going on" Can that stadium handle parking for a 1/4 million people?

Gotta admit - Philly set the bar pretty damn high. That was an entertaining watch on TV as opposed to Chicago or the NY drafts. Actually kept me interested in the goings on besides the draft. Heard one idea being floated for Arlington is having the teams representatives in areas of the stadium where the teams fans could also be in the same area. Might have to put tarps on some of the Jaguars seats but overall it sounds intriguing.

Dumb. And a shit stadium.

It will be a pathetic experience compared to the amazing one last year.

Yeah we were out at dinner and I convinced her to walk over. Whole Foods near the entrance was packed with people buying beer. Can't beat the Philly people at this one.

 

[eaglesnut]

Philly fans would boo their own grandmother. One of the worst places to watch an NFL game.

Only when she sucks.

Makes sense and all, I mean Roger Dodger costed Jones Super Bowl money this year so he's making it up with the draft !

I know how crazed Eagles fans can get. That's why I'll never attend a game there again.

I hear you. I gave up my season tickets cause I couldnt take this nonsense anymore. The truth is bow the only people who get in trouble are the people who talk crap and bring attention. I'm not saying that's right cause people should have a right to cheer.

Your opinions do not make it fact.

Dallas is more of a football town. More division titles, NFC titles and Super Bowls prove it

Americas team because most Americans root for Dallas

Wrong. At least know your own team's history. Some writer at NFL Films gave them the name in 1968's year in review film. Pittsburgh was also said to be called that by NFL Films,but they said they didn't want the moniker. Has nothing to do with the Fraud fans that live outside the Dallas area. Most of them have been Pats fans since 2001.

not at one tim, but 1/4 million was over the span of days. It seats 100k+ so yeah there is plenty of parking if that many want to show up on any given day.

Can't wait for the onslaught of jokes about seats that aren't really there.

So we learned that Dallas is more business savvy than Pitt and the guy with 151 posts in 3 years hates fans that don't live local, like PHXEagle1.

To be clear we didn't have 1/4 million at once. It was over the entire draft. It will be interesting how Dallas shows up. I heard on the first night after we picked at 16 1/2 the crowd left

I don't hate them... I just think their man card should be revoked! Saw we have a new poster here that's Dallas, Lakers and Yankees but he says there is a legit reason for it and has nothing to do with winning. Suuuuuuuuure!

Yep. And not all fans, just Cowboy fans.
