NFL Draft: Why the Miami Dolphins should throw their names in to host

The Miami Dolphins have a lot to offer the NFL but so far, it seems they do not have any interest in hosting the NFL Draft, but they should.

This year the draft will be held in Cleveland after stints in Philadelphia, Dallas, Chicago, Nashville, and of course, New York City. Next year, the Draft will head back to Las Vegas. Vegas was supposed to host the draft last year until COVID decided to ruin everyone’s life. In 2023, the draft will be held in Kansas City. So why not Miami?

Three years ago, Stephen Ross was asked about whether or not he would petition the league to host the draft. At the time, he said they didn’t have much interest and one of those reasons was trying to find a suitable location. I can’t be certain if he has or hasn’t changed his mind but he could host at Hard Rock Stadium. With all the renovations, the stadium would be a great spot and there are plenty of open areas around the stadium to host a party.

Miami is missing out in my opinion. The draft is a big draw from all over and Miami is a great place to visit. Consider that the weather is great even if a chance or April rain is always possible. So far, the Dolphins have concentrated more on hosting the Super Bowl and they have also hosted a Pro Bowl but the NFL Draft is the league’s primo off-season event and the city of Miami deserves it to be done here.

With pristine beaches only an hour from Miami Gardens, two incredible National Parks, Biscayne Bay and the Everglades, a fantastic zoo, and so much more, there is a lot to draw people to other parts of South Florida and that is revenue for the city.

Personally, I would love to see Ross change his opinion of the draft and maybe he has and we just haven’t heard about it yet.
