If there’s one thing we know about Detroit, we always show up -- and for the NFL Draft, Detroiters did just that.
The NFL said Detroit set the all-time Day One NFL Draft record with more than 275,000 fans in attendance on Thursday night. The previous record was set in Nashville in 2018.

Crowds were so massive in the city, entrances were shut down for the night around 6:30 p.m.
Fans will have another chance to get into the main stage area on Friday and Saturday for the second and third rounds. The draft is free to attend with the NFL OnePass app.
