Current progress on the Draft Stage in Detroit

1. I’m digging the artwork.

2. I park next to that white and black building that’s in the background whenever I go to Ford Field haha

3. Anyone else look at the thumbnail and think this was a scale model at first?

   Edit: apparently its pretty taboo to comment on the interesting perspective of a picture posted on this subreddit.

4. I went to last years in KC and it was pretty neat.

5. Is that area used for stages and stuff like that, or is this just a one time thing? Was just curious what they might do with the space afterwards.

6. How many are they expecting for the crowd? That space doesn’t look the biggest.

7. Happy I registered to go this year, gunna be so much fun

8. Nifty. What day is the draft? Is it the 25th-28th?

9. Jeez this looks tiny compared to the HUGE event in KC last year

10. Detroit looks like Wilkes Barre PA

11. INJECT IT INTO MY VEINS

12. I work right next to the draft stage (Hi Rocket TMs). It is massive. The city is going to electric for this. In case anyone hasn’t experienced, “April in the D” is a saying for a reason. We will bring the energy.

    Supinos is the best pizza in the city of Detroit and blow’s Joe’s in NYC out of the water.

13. Looks like the real life version of r/place

14. Im surprised they build a whole temporary building for this instead of just using like the actual team stadium or some other event building

15. To everyone that is shocked that a construction site looks like a construction site…

    [Here is a layout of the location](https://www.freep.com/picture-gallery/sports/nfl/lions/2024/03/05/2024-nfl-draft-in-detroit-new-images-show-draft-locations/72850686007/)

    [This is the corridor it looks down](https://maps.app.goo.gl/fNg4NMXVkw5XHXCDA)

    [This is the end of said corridor, Hart Plaza, by the river where a lot of fan things will be](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-tmus-us-rvc3&sa=X&sca_esv=dbfe99b76a0ba531&biw=412&bih=771&sxsrf=ACQVn09SFPJwgyeODjDQaX8hHJSNfSPcaA%3A1712694931370&q=Hart%20Plaza&ludocid=9565312417070550230&ibp=gwp%3B0%2C7&lsig=AB86z5XHxmuktXhzJZwchXMdsW9c&kgs=a4a23d878347780d&shndl=-1&source=sh%2Fx%2Floc%2Fact%2Fm4%2F2)

    I’m telling you folks, those that go are about to have an amazing time and will be shocked at how nice Detroit is.

16. I did some video and photo for the NFL when the draft was in Cleveland and it’s absolutely absurd how fast money can work

17. Is there a reason they’re not having it in Hart Plaza? It’s such an iconic spot

18. Looks like they really came in and KABOOMED it

19. That basketball court is awesome!

20. Is that the old Sahara tent?

21. Is this like WrestleMania stage updates/leaks now?!…

22. I can already hear the draft chime

23. This has to be like the Mexico City games, like crime knows to not fuck this up, make the city look good and we can all benefit. 

24. That crane will be on cinder blocks by the morning

25. I’ll never understand the need for orgs to build their own venues for $$$$$ when they could just rent an appropriately sized established venue for far less.

26. That looks dope.
