Holding the NFL Draft at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas certainly seemed to be a success.
The NFL Draft has begun shifting locations away from the usual home at Radio City Music Hall in New York. Last year it was in Philadelphia, and this year was at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
Yahoo Sports’ Eric Adelson shared this photo from the draft showing fans all the way up to the rafters.
