Minnesota Submits Bid to Host the 2028 NFL Draft

Minnesota Sports and Events and U.S. Bank Stadium, with the support of the Minnesota Vikings, have submitted a bid to host the 2028 NFL Draft.

This represents an incredible opportunity to showcase the Twin Cities, iconic U.S. Bank Stadium, and the state of Minnesota on a global stage while highlighting our region’s momentum, hospitality, and passionate fan base.

Minnesota has a strong track record of hosting world class events that deliver meaningful economic, community, and reputational impact.
