The NFL Draft has definitely become big over the years. It used to be held in New York City for the past 50 years and then moved to Chicago and Philadelphia. Now, the NFL Draft is in Nashville and is hoping to expand the economy for the locals.
It is also said, that the NFL Draft is even big for Disney. Last year the NFL Draft had about 45 million people who tuned in. This year they are more prepared and excited.
A Year Of Firsts
It was mentioned that this is the first time that ABC and ESPN will air the NFL Draft. The economy of last year’s NFL Draft amazed everyone. More and more people are tuning in with every new season. Fox has none of the broadcasting rights for the Draft. ABC is more confident in expanding the NFL Draft. They are also interested in making it mainstream and to have more information and stories rather than just football statistics.
ABC is keen and invited Robin Roberts in an effort to make it mainstream. Earlier Fox was also involved in the NFL Draft and aired the first two rounds, but this year Fox has no contract with the NFL Draft. It has also been confirmed that ABC is ready to expand it with all the fans and those who are not fans. Making it big and increasing the economy is their aim. Now they are focusing more and more on human-related content.
The Idea Behind Nashville
Tourism is an important aspect in Nashville and they are going to turn this a big day event. Building an economy is also important and with the NFL by their side, it will be easy and also interesting to see the turn of events. There are many supporters of this decision on NFL in Nashville. They are ready to make it more grand and liberal. This will help to get more fans, a faster-growing economy and at the end of the day a successful event.
Even Wells Fargo (WFC) agrees. In a regional research report, Wells Fargo wrote, “The NFL Draft is bringing increased attention to the Nashville area, which has been one of the strongest economies in the country this decade.”
So, this has become quite the hot topic now. People are already bragging about the fun and the opportunities it created.
