Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Browns fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Five years ago, the city of Cleveland hosted the 2021 NFL Draft. It was a thrilling experience, but also a unique one because it was the first big event in the country taking place in the aftermath of the pandemic. It was a catch-22, though — while it was still fun, the city still didn’t
get the type of economic impact that cities in ensuing years received. There used to be speculation that the city “owed one to Cleveland” for that situation, so maybe that will happen when the new stadium is built in Brookpark.
With that said, this year’s NFL Draft is taking place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which is about a two-hour drive from Northeast Ohio. Will we see a heavier presence of Browns fans attending one or more days of the draft? I’ve never been to Pittsburgh, as crazy as that sounds, but I am strong considering driving down for Day 1 of the draft on April 23 to explore some of the city, shoot some videos, and share them on Dawgs By Nature (weather permitting).
I know the poll results will likely lean heavily toward “no,” but still vote in the survey below, and then if you are thinking of going, let us know in the comments section what your plans are!
