Capital city and we could use the Arena District. 3 minutes ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: Canton. How cool would it be to start and end your career in the same city? 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...

I was at the HOF a couple weeks ago. It’s pretty nice, would be cool to have the draft there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Canton have a viable place to hold the event? After having the draft in an actual stadium, can they accommodate that many people? 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.

GunnerBill Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I feel like it has to be somewhere that is an AFC city..... Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas..... yawn, yawn, yawn. It is like the SNF lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irv Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Nashville is one of the coolest cities I have ever been. If you like music, not just country music, you will like Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie Joe Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I went to the Bills game in Nashville in 2015... Really enjoyed the visit... Downtown area was very lively to say the least.,.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big a venue is this place? http://www.nashvillemusiccitycenter.com/ 350,000 square feet of convention space. Or they can have it at LP field I suppose. Either way I'll be there.

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...

Nah...the time lag for the radio / television signals to get back to Earth will result in even more duplicate threads at Two Bills Drive over how Bills management botched the pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown went from sleepy to a crowded mess of humanity in only a few short years. I'll be Atlanta-level traffic soon. 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...

Bills/Titans game a few years ago was a terrific experience. Been to Nashville too many times over the last 6 months. If you love country, I guess it would be cool, however!!! 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...
