The 2020 NFL Draft will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, with festivities taking place from April 23 to April 25.
The NFL’s decision to host in Las Vegas comes as the Raiders are set to relocate there for the 2020 season, at Allegiant Stadium.
However, the draft is not being held at the Raiders new stadium, but rather on the water of the famous Bellagio fountains. Draft prospects will be transported via boat to the main stage during the ceremony.
“We are excited to partner with the NFL and the Raiders for our first major event together in Las Vegas,” said Steve Hill, CEO of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority. “Our destination prides itself on creating unforgettable and epic events and experiences and we believe the 2020 Draft will be among the most thrilling events Las Vegas has ever hosted. We look forward to welcoming hundreds of thousands of NFL fans to our world-class destination on April 23.”
The Seahawks are projected to have eight picks in the upcoming draft, with five picks already guaranteed and three compensatory picks projected by Over the Cap.
