Detroit to host 2024 NFL Draft
The NFL draft is headed to the Motor City.
Detroit will host the 2024 draft, the league announced Monday.
"With the help of Visit Detroit, the Detroit Sports Commission, and the City of Detroit, the Lions' passionate fan base and all visitors will be treated to an incredible three-day experience," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said.
The NFL picked Detroit over Green Bay and Washington, D.C., according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
"The Packers and the event's community supporters remain optimistic that Green Bay will have the opportunity to host the NFL Draft in the near future," Packers president Mark Murphy said in a statement. "We will continue to work with Discover Green Bay and our other partners in the effort to update our bid details and continue our dialogue with NFL officials so they remain excited about our community's plan to host this significant event."
New York exclusively hosted the draft every year from 1965 to 2014. However, the league has expanded the three-day event to other cities in recent years.
