The Arizona Cardinals will host a free NFL Draft watch party on the Great Lawn outside State Farm Stadium for the first round on Thursday evening.
The draft in Kansas City will be shown on giant video boards, and a fireworks show will follow the conclusion of the first 32 picks.
The venue will be open from 4-9 p.m., with the draft kicking off at 5 p.m.
The event presented quite the surprise last year, as Arizona traded its pick for wide receiver Hollywood Brown, who appeared at the event following a flight on owner Michael Bidwill’s plane.
