Access to the Philadelphia Museum of Art's iconic steps has become the first high-profile casualty of preparations for the NFL Draft 2017, spoiling a dream for some Rocky-inspired tourists.
Crews have begun erecting the stage for the draft, which will take place from April 27 to 29 in an outdoor theater in front of the steps. The disruption will likely continue through the first week in May.
Among the disappointed was Shaun Kelliher of Writtle, England, who was traveling through Philadelphia with his family on Wednesday as part of their trip from Washington to New York.
