With less than a day to go until the NFL Draft, superfans are raging in Detroit.
WXYZ (DeTROIT) — Superfans have arrived in Detroit ahead of the NFL Draft, which is in less than twenty-four hours. Hundreds of thousands of people will be in Corktown, where Bob Roberts, the owner of McShane’s Irish Pub, and his staff are finishing up preparations for their viewing party, as well as downtown Detroit in precisely one day. “We have a great deal of work ahead of us. Right now, we’re restocking the bar. This morning, the tents were erected,” Roberts remarked. Corktown, like many other Detroit neighborhoods, will provide free shuttle service to and from downtown as well as viewing tents during the draft.
“We anticipate a large number. We want to complete a month’s worth of sales in the next three days,” Roberts stated. Nationwide fans are eager to enjoy Detroit and the NFL Draft. Chicago Bears supporter Joey Bazal declared, “If you see me tomorrow, I’ll probably be screaming and going crazy and you know, the football’s going to come out.”
