Future NFL Draft Locations: 2024, 2025 & Beyond
The 2023 NFL Draft takes place this week, and it will be held at Union Station Kansas City.
Having been held in New York City from 1965-2014, the draft is now hosted in a different location each year. The one exception was in 2020, when the draft was held virtually. Imagine if there had been a live crowd when the Green Bay Packers traded up for Jordan Love in the first round.
This year's draft will take place in Kansas City, which is also home to the Super Bowl champions.
Where will the draft take place in future years, and could the home of the Green Bay Packers soon host a draft of their own?
