Minneapolis has ‌submitted ​a ​formal bid to host the 2028 ‌NFL Draft at U.S. Bank ⁠Stadium.

Wendy Blackshaw, president and CEO ‌of the Minnesota ‌Sports and Events Commission, confirmed the bid to ​ESPN on Wednesday.

The draft is taking place ⁠in Pittsburgh next month and in Washington, ​D.C., in 2027.

The NFL typically selects a site ​about two years ‌out, so Minneapolis could receive an ⁠answer soon, per ESPN.

After being staged in New York ⁠every year from 1965-2014, the ​draft has taken place in Chicago (2015-16), Philadelphia (2017), Arlington, Texas (2018), Nashville, Tenn. (2019), ‌Cleveland (2021), Las Vegas (2022), Kansas City (2023), Detroit (2024) ‌and Green Bay, Wis. (2025).

There ⁠was a ‌virtual draft ​in 2020 due to the pandemic.
