Fans heading to the NFL Draft celebrations can expect seating, local DJs, broadcasts of the Draft and more. Masks are required (except when eating and drinking, or seated) and social-distancing protocols will be in place. Admission is on a first-come, first-served basis, according to Destination Cleveland.
Last month, the NFL revealed details about the upcoming Draft weekend in Cleveland, detailing the iconic downtown Cleveland locations, including FirstEnergy Stadium, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Great Lakes Science Center,” according to an NFL news release.
Kings of Leon is slated to kick off the Draft weekend as the first headlining artist. Ann Wilson, of Heart, will sing the National Anthem.
