The NFL Draft is coming to "Jerry World."
Commissioner Roger Goodell announced Wednesday that AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas will host the 2018 NFL Draft, making it the first draft to be held inside an NFL stadium.
The league has historically held the event at Radio City Music Hall in New York, but has since made it a traveling show, having held it in Chicago in 2015 and 2016, as well as Philadelphia in 2017.
This year's event in Philadelphia was the first time the draft was held outside and set a new attendance record.
"Philadelphia raised the bar by taking the Draft to another level, and this new opportunity in Dallas will enable us to continue the event's evolution and grow it even further," Goodell said in a release. "We are grateful to the Dallas Cowboys, the cities of Arlington, Dallas, and Frisco, and the Dallas Sports Commission for their leadership in turning this vision into reality."
Undoubtedly, AT&T Stadium shouldn't have much difficulty raising the bar for this year's draft.
