We’re approximately two months away from the 2017 NFL Draft and when the clock strikes pick number 28 plenty of Dallas Cowboys fans will be waiting anxiously to find out which player will join the ranks of America’s Team. Many members of Cowboys Nation will be doing so in the comfort of their own home, with friends, or if they’re so inclined at the 2017 Draft Day Party that the Cowboys are putting on at The Star in Frisco.
Every year the Cowboys have put on a similar event, but it’s typically taken place at Cowboys/AT&T Stadium. With their swanky new facility – The Star in Frisco, TX – now open, the Cowboys can host the Draft Day event at their official world headquarters.
If you’re in the mood to surround yourself with other hardcore Dallas Cowboys fans for the 2017 NFL Draft, then this is the place to do so. This 2017 Draft Day Party is going to be all sorts of fun and jam-packed with America’s Team awesomeness.
Things will get started on Thursday, April 27th at 5pm on the Tostitos Championship Plaza. An hour later the Ford Center will officially open and fans can get autographs or watch performances by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders as well as the final auditions for the Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers. It’s a party for people of all ages as there will be an official Kids Zone with plenty of activities for youngsters.
If you can’t make it out to The Star for the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft then head on over on Friday, April 28th. The legendary Brad Sham will host a roundtable that’ll feature the first round selection that the Cowboys made the night before, making the 2017 Draft Day Party this young man’s first appearance in front of the greatest fans in the world.
Saturday, April 29th will mark the inaugural Dallas Cowboys Draft Day 5K (pre-race activities begin at 9am with the actual race beginning at 10am) which includes a special t-shirt and finisher’s medal, you can register and get more information right here. After the race the Ford Center will open at 10:30am and resume activities from the days before as the Cowboys look to put the finishing touches on a 2017 NFL Draft that is hopefully as good as the incredible class that we saw in 2016.
While at all of these events fans will hear all kinds of incredible commentary from the Dallas Cowboys “War Room” as well as live commentary from 105.3 The Fan in Dallas. The entire event is sponsored by Miller Lite, and it’s sure to be one incredible time.
The Stadium is a better location in the middle of the Metroplex. Who is going to drive all the way up to Frisco in rush hour from the mid cities? Not me. i usually go every year.
Thank you to The Star for opening your doors to us Fans!!! I live up in North Texas (Anna, Tx) and it is hard to drive to the stadium for “fan functions”. This is going to be Awesome!!!
