NFL Draft Stage Dome
‘Get Ready To Rumble Football Fans!’
Set..Philadelphia… Hut Hut Hike!
Philadelphians and visitors will get to experience the largest festival footprint ever created by the National Football League, spanning the size of nearly twenty-five football fields!
The NFL Draft Experience, from April 27 to 29, is free and no tickets are required. In order to play most of the interactive games at the festival, you’ll need to download the NFL Draft Experience’s Fan Mobile Pass (free)! Click Here!
Kids and adults of all ages will be able to participate in what the NFL Draft Experience has top offer! Such as interactive exhibits, immersive games, and virtual reality experiences, free player autograph sessions and more.
Ride on the zipline: The zipline will extend 100 yards long and will give you an epic view of the event. Reminder: You’ll need to get a timed reservation via the Fan Mobile Pass app.
Combine Corner – From racing against NFL players to running routes, fans can test their football and athletic skills at Combine Corner. Featured attractions include:
40-Yard Dash: Race down the field against digital NFL players on a 40-yard long LED wall.
Vertical Jump: Take your position at the vertical jump and find out what the difference between your reach and the flag you hit is, just like at the NFL Scouting Combine.
Hail Mary – Test your long-distance accuracy by throwing a deep pass over defenders into a drop-in net.
Oikos Triple Zero Field Goal Kick – Test your ability to kick a field goal through NFL uprights.
Touch Pass – Master one of the most difficult throws for an NFL quarterback by throwing the ball on an arc over a defensive player and into a net.
All of these activities will be taking place closer to 22nd Street and Pennsylvania Ave., up on a hill on the right hand side when facing the NFL Draft Stage to the front of you.
AFC & NFC Locker Rooms – Visit a replica NFL locker room as it appears on gameday. Experience the sights of an NFL pregame with sleek transparent LCDs.
Kids Play football: Kids ages 6-17 can show off their football skills at youth football clinics with USA Football coaches and NFL players. These clinics are free and first-come, first-served. They’ll be held from 4 pm to 6 pm on April 27 and 28 and from noon to 3 pm, 3:30 pm to 5 pm and 5:30 pm to 7 pm on April 29. You’ll be able to find the clinic registration area closer to the corner of North 34th Street and Park Towne Place.
Visitors will be able to learn the history of the NFL at the NFL museum, take selfies at the Vince Lombardi Trophy, pose with an oversized helmet of your favorite NFL team, snag a shot of you making the winning catch, meet players in person and much more!
The NFL Draft Stage
The NFL Draft itself will be taking place at the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art April 27 to 29. For the first time in history, the Draft theater will be constructed outside. This unique set up will allow for the largest live audience of 3,000 people to ever see the selection announcements.
Fans will be able to enjoy Selection Square, which will feature all 32 team tables, where representatives from each team will make their Draft selections throughout the three days.
Selection Square will feature a free viewing gallery in the rotunda of the historic Benjamin Franklin National Memorial. Highlights of the viewing gallery include a real-time, up-close look at the player selection process, and the ability to watch NFL Network-produced programming live from the NFL Draft.
The Philadelphia Eagles On The Clock At #14
You are the coach, in charge of the Eagles draft! Do you trade up? Trade back? Do you think we need a cornerback? A defensive end? A wide receiver? Maybe an offensive lineman? Who do you select at #14? Please tell us in the comments.
There will be food and drink options as well. There will be 5 bar/beverage stations and the NFL Draft Tavern. For more details, click Fabulous Philly Food At The NFL Draft Experience!
