Event Details:
This year’s NFL Draft, held in Cleveland from April 29 to May 1, welcomed 50,000 fans a day for live events. LD Systems deployed 130-plus L-Acoustics enclosures, including 70 K2, for daily events, plus nightly concerts by Kings of Leon, Black Pumas, and Machine Gun Kelly. The focus of the multi-day event was the Draft Theater, a 200-by-220-by-80-foot (WxDxH) half-moon temporary structure erected by Stage FX near Cleveland’s FirstEnergy Stadium and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, overlooking Lake Erie.
