Next spring, the players will not be the only ones earning money at the 2018 NFL Draft.
The city of Arlington is likely going to win big too.
The 2018 NFL Draft will be held April 26-28 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
According to an estimate by the Texas Association of Business, the three-day event could have an economic impact of more than $100 million.
Instead of scattering the activities across the Dallas-Fort Worth area (as they did with Super Bowl XLV) or implementing The Star in Frisco in some kind of way, Charlotte Jones Anderson, the Dallas Cowboys executive vice president and chief brand officer, pitched to the NFL to hold the draft and a majority of its festivities in-and-around AT&T Stadium.
