Sharing the lakefront with FirstEnergy Stadium and the world-famous Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, the Draft Experience is a free and open to the public event that’s become the biggest football fan fest of the year.

While the Main Stage won’t be visible from Draft Experience, you’ll be able to follow every pick as it happens on massive LED screens throughout the event footprint, from number one overall to Mr. Irrelevant. Fans will even be able to watch from the lower bowl Draft party inside FirstEnergy Stadium.

Activities include:

  • Kick a Field Goal or Catch a Hail Mary in FirstEnergy Stadium
  • Compete against NFL stars in virtual 40 Yard Dash and Vertical Jump
  • NFL Play 60 Zone/Play Football Field – On-field activities and clinics with coaches for younger NFL fans (Clinics for kids 6 – 17)
  • “Taste of the town” tailgate featuring locally inspired food from: Anna In The Raw, Barrio Tacos, Cocky's Bagels, Der Braumeister, KG's HomeBaked Goodness, Mallorca Restaurant, Ninja City Kitchen and Bar, Nuevo Modern Mexican, Ohio City BBQ, Sauce The City and UnBAR Cafe.
  • Bud Light Legends Bar
  • Exclusive NFL merch at NFL Shop presented by Visa
  • Virtual Autograph sessions with NFL stars
  • Displays of Super Bowl Rings of years past and the famed Vince Lombardi Trophy
  • Chalk Talks with NFL Players and Legends
  • Panini PRIZM trading card frame photo op
  • Replica NFL locker room with virtual pregame tunnel experience
  • Concerts from headlining acts each night (Thursday before the Draft, Friday and Saturday after)
  • Fireworks at the end of each night

Fans can reserve their free, timed entry ticket through the NFL OnePass app, available on iOS, Android or by visiting NFL.com/OnePass.
