Where is the draft stage?

The Draft Theater and Main Stage are on the North Shore, outside of Acrisure Stadium. Other events and activities on the North Shore include the Play 60 Zone, a watch party at Acrisure Stadium, a flag football field, a beer hall, the NFL museum and other photo opportunities, like the NFL Draft Photo Frames.

The Draft Theater is only available to invited ticket holders, the NFL says. However, fans will have a chance to be selected for standing room seating, depending on availability, as the draft goes on, the league added. 

North Shore concessions

Concessions on the North Shore are Crazy Horse Coffee, Fry Bar, Mobile Chef International Foods, Steel City Hot Dogs and Tennessee Crushed Water Ice.

Point State Park events

The NFL Draft Experience is a free fan festival centered at Point State Park in Downtown Pittsburgh. It will feature activities, food, drinks and NFL exhibits for fans of all ages. It is open Thursday and Friday from noon to 10 p.m., and open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

The red carpet event before the start of the draft on Thursday is set for Point State Park. It is where the draft's top prospects will step out in style before hearing their names called by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. 

Other draft events at Point State Park include an autograph stage, a field goal challenge, an NFL shop and photo opportunities with the Steelers' Vince Lombardi Trophies.
