The 2023 NFL Draft Should Generate More Than $100 Million For Kansas City | Forbes

The event, which lasts from April 27 to 29, is expected to have an economic impact on the city of more than $100 million, according to Visit KC’s calculations.

That sum would come from hotels, restaurants, merchandise, transportation and food and beverage sales. Taxes on the latter will further benefit the city.

“It’s great for Kansas City,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said.

The NFL predicted around 300,000 will attend the free event, which is in line with numbers for last year’s draft.
