Cowboys make bid to host 2018 Draft

[Risen Star]

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team has made a bid to host next year's NFL Draft at both facilities, AT&T Stadium and The Ford Center at The Star, but there has not been a timeframe on when the league might make an announcement. "They know how we can configure for X amount of people," Jones said, "and then they'll come back to use what they want which night."

I think Philadelphia may get it again. They did two years in Chicago. Another year in Philly and then two in Dallas would be my guess.

Credit where credit is due. Philadelphia did a nice job. And the inmates behaved themselves too. It wouldn't shock me if they did get it again.

But I don't think anyone can touch our facilities overall.

At least we know NO eagle players can get back at us for 88s epic burn.

If the draft is in Philly once more I can live with that.

The Cowboys will send in their secret weapon again:



Watching that NEVER gets old!!!

This should be a no brainer to accept the Dallas bid...

unless the Eagles win the super bowl this year, I don't see how they could anyway

But the surrounding area sucks though. Awesome place to live, sure. But nothing to do as a visitor in Frisco.

If you're there for the draft, you're there for the draft, right?

Lol, yes I wasnt even considering that as a possibility.

I mean, yeah. But the draft is 3 days and it's not just locals that'll be there.

How far is Frisco from the stadium in Arlington?

Like 50ish miles off the top of my head

So about an hour, not too bad.

My wife and I are thinking about making the trip in October for Cowboys vs Packers so we may make a visit.

Thanks.

Dallas should host it...but only if they promise to shorten this nonsense and make an effort not to have any barnyard animals or jungle critters making picks and that stooge Goodell stays under his rock and off the air.

I hope to see an elephant throwing a football if I go.
