The NFL draft continued Friday with the second and third rounds and hundreds of thousands of fans watched the big event in Detroit. “We watched 32 amazing players join the NFL family in front of a record 275,000 people,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said to those in attendance. “Guess what? Another 230,000 are already here tonight.” Detroit had already broken the attendance record for day one of an NFL Draft, Goodell announced, and the city is now nearing Nashville’s cumulative 600,000 record set during the 2019 NFL draft. “Detroit, you’re within 100,000 of breaking the all-time record,” the commissioner added. The 2024 NFL Draft is being held in Detroit across three days in the downtown area surrounding the Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza.
