Over 1,600 Fans To Receive Exclusive “Inner Circle ” At This Year’s NFL Draft

The NFL today announced that more than 1,600 football fans from across the country are heading to the 2018 NFL Draft in Arlington to receive an exclusive on-the-field experience. Hand-selected by each of the 32 clubs to serve as their Draft ambassadors, these dedicated fans will sit in the “Inner Circle,” a newly-created team area where they will watch the event directly in front of the NFL Draft Theater on the field of AT&T Stadium.

The “Inner Circle” – which is being established for the first time at any Draft event – will feature team rivalry zones, chances for fans to celebrate the team selections with NFL players and Legends, and opportunities to showcase team spirit on national television. Each club designated more than 50 dedicated and loyal fans to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Prior to the start of the selection process on Thursday and Friday nights, a roll call of all 32 teams within the Inner Circle will be taken, allowing fans to show off their enthusiasm. Teams will provide “Inner Circle” fans with t-shirts, rally towels, foam fingers, flags, and more, and they will also receive an LED lanyard that will light up in team colors when their club is on the clock.

In addition, on Thursday night, some of these lucky fans will be visited by their newest team members after they are selected on stage. On Friday, fans in the “Inner Circle” will be joined by NFL Legends who will greet them on-the-field and take photos.

Fans without seated tickets to this free event are still able to register for a chance to attend by downloading the NFL Draft – Fan Mobile Pass app and checking in at the NFL Draft Experience presented by Oikos Triple Zero®, which is free and open to the public. Registered fans who attend the experience will have the opportunity to be upgraded into the theater as seating becomes available on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
