General admission paused as Detroit NFL Draft hits max capacity again

DETROIT – The NFL Draft in Downtown Detroit has paused general admission Friday as the event has hit capacity about 90 minutes before the start of Round 2.

It’s the second day in a row the NFL Draft hit capacity following Thursday’s record-breaking numbers.

An announcement was made at about 6:40 p.m. that admission has been paused.

The NFL had been telling fans to get down early with capacity limits inside the perimeter of the Draft Theatre and Draft Experience, especially on Thursday night for the first round.

There’s plenty to do outside the main draft stage zone, with plenty of bars and restaurants hosting draft watching parties around the city of Detroit.
