A recent SB Nation Reacts poll indicates that only 10% of respondents plan to attend the NFL Draft in April 2028, which will take place in the Minneapolis area. The low interest may be linked to the potential crowd size, with fans possibly hesitant about attending large gatherings. The poll attracted responses from a mix of local and out-of-area fans. The NFL Draft is free to attend, but many fans may prefer to avoid long waits for the Vikings’ draft pick, who is expected to be selected at 32nd overall. Attendance figures will likely be compared to recent draft events in other cities like Detroit and Pittsburgh.
