If the Bills host the NFL Draft where would be best location for it?

Thinking since the Superbowl will never happen, but the NFL as a reward for the stadium will award a future draft to Buffalo.  Where would be best location to set it up the stage in the area?

It’ll be right inside the new stadium. Or maybe in the old stadium as a going away present right before they start to tear it down

I’m curious why they don’t have the draft in a sold out stadium, that would be a awesome site to see, forget these small size stages they have always done, so I say right at the old stadium before it gets torn down, tailgating and all.

After all the years the draft was held in Radio City Music Hall you'd naturally think Shea's Buffalo... until you consider that Radio City has twice the capacity of Shea's (6000 to 3000).

 

Since the NFL took the draft on the road:

 

2017 Outdoor Theater on the "Rocky Steps" Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia

2018 AT&T Stadium, Dallas

2019 The Green at Riverfront Park and Nissan Stadium, Nashville

2020 Teleconference due to Covid, originally planned for Las Vegas

2021 First Energy Stadium, Cleveland

2022 Caesar's Convention Center, Las Vegas

2023 Union Station, Kansas City

2024 Downtown Campus Martius Park to Hart Plaza, Detroit

2025 Lambeau Field, Green Bay

 

So the NFL is using either NFL stadiums or large temporary structures in public spaces in city centers.

Or rebuild the pan American exposition sight and have goodell dress up as President McKinley. #toosoon?

I'm thinking of 3 places....

 

* Topps.......you know, the friendly market

* Wegmans

* The Mighty Taco

 

All 3 are staples of the region and would inspire awe, angst and jealousy from all other franchises

Just now, Fan in Chicago said:

If there is a large space overlooking the Falls, it will be a great backdrop to the event. 

 

 

 

That sounds good in theory; however, some idiot would get drunk and jump.

Keybank Center...The Sabres have no use for the building this time of the year 

 

Not big enough. The draft gets around 50 to 100k coming to this. Bills fans would dominate of course. But other fanbases would show up as well especially Giants, Jets, Steelers, Browns. Fans close enough where they wouldn't mind making the trip. The NFL draft has turned into a huge event.
