US Egg Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) If you're thinking of going to Nashville for a vacation or should they hold the draft there, be aware, it is big City U.S.A. in every way. Driving around there is a nightmare. Edited May 11, 2018 by Ifartalot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfaninChicago Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Not a bad location for the draft. Hope they bring it back to Chicago one of these days. It was a really great time in Grant Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEraBills Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 If so I'm definitely in the house. There's a huge new convention center here that was finished I think three years ago now. It could easily hold the draft. I'll actually be there tomorrow for Heroes & Villians Fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland/Canton is one of the five finalist cities to host the 2019 or 2020 NFL Drafts. I think they will get the 2020 Draft for the reasons you have both stated. The NFL will announce the host cities for both of these drafts sometime during the Spring Meeting on May 21-23. The other finalist cities are: Denver, Kansas City & Las Vegas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather can be iffy here that time of year but there is another area that has shelter to the side of the building, it’s just not as big. I feel like the college kids would like the area. They held a regional camp there for Nike The Opening last week. There isnt enough room inside the actual HOF but there are nice rooms and auditoriums to hold smaller gatherings.

Yes, the weather is a big concern. Which is why I think they will primarily have it in Cleveland, with Canton being the place to visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently live in Atlanta, but we also have a place in Nashville (Green Hills and currently listed for sale - what a deal! ). The growth there has been CRAZY! But I still like it a lot more than Atlanta and think I always will. Traffic going forward will certainly be an issue, but it would be a GREAT place for the draft. Bills/Titans game a few years ago was a terrific experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City is growing up way too fast. No transit system, and infrastructure sucks. Suburbs are just anytown, USA. Weather is very iffy, and hot-humid as hell in the summer. Also, its the south, but Nashville born folk are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
