The NFL Scouting Combine is a home-grown event. It started in Indianapolis, it’s grown up in Indianapolis, and it’s helped Indianapolis grow into the city it is today.
“Indianapolis has been proud to host the Combine since 1987,” said Chris Gahl, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications for Visit Indy. “It’s grown from just a handful of media and 300 players to thousands of people and we welcome that.”
Over the years, it’s evolved into a fan friendly event as the NFL opens the doors a little more each year. A growing number of spectators are now invited inside Lucas Oil Stadium to watch prospective NFL players run through drills on the field.
