Details for NFL Draft in Nashville - ochocincos - 03-07-2019
For those who are thinking of traveling to Nashville for the NFL Draft this year (only 4 hours from Cincy), here is a really good article that outlines everything.

Here are the main points:
Quote:The main NFL Draft stage will be on First and Broadway. Draft picks on the main stage will take place the evenings of April 25 (Thursday) and April 26 (Friday) and during the afternoon of April 27 (Saturday).
Schermerhorn Symphony Center will be host to Selection Square, which features the team tables where representatives from each club will make their draft selections.
The NFL Draft Experience, a three-day football festival, will be held in the parking lots and areas surrounding Nissan Stadium.
The NFL Draft Red Carpet will take place on April 25 (Thursday) at The Green at Riverfront Park.
Concerts with “high level talent” are being planned for on the main stage on Broadway all three days, and on another stage across the Cumberland River. The performers will be announced at a later date.
Admission is free. There will be limited seating areas (and some VIP areas), but the idea is most fans can stand, and walk.
The NFL and the city are expecting crowds approaching 300,000 for the weekend in an area organizers are calling the largest festival footprint ever for an NFL Draft.
I now live in Nashville, so I'm planning to go partake in the festivities (likely just Saturday). This will be fun!

Hmm, maybe I can get one of those giant foam cowboy hats and wear it with my Atkins jersey...

I wouldn’t mind attending a draft as a spectator but you’ll never catch me as one of those goons in the audience trying to get all hype when it’s their teams turn then booing all the others.

Nashville is a great place. Is it still growing like wildfire?

Yep. Amazon is building a 5,000-employee facility too that will draw even more.

You ever hit up any meat and threes? Awesome places.
I love the beautiful relative wilderness that surrounds what has become a very cosmopolitan city. Best of both worlds.
I hope the people are still as warm and friendly, because that always stood out to me.
