Overview
- The league reported a three-day total of 805,000, passing Detroit’s 2024 mark of 775,000, following Thursday’s first-round crowd of about 320,000.
- The NFL counts every entry into the official areas on the North Shore by Acrisure Stadium and at Point State Park, so repeat visits and re-entries raise the official total.
- Pittsburgh Regional Transit told fans not to drive and ran “Football Flyers” from park-and-rides, and officials said platforms and shuttles cleared crowds quickly with traffic staying manageable.
- Pittsburgh Public Safety tallied 20 arrests over the three days, including only two inside the draft footprint and one misdemeanor at Point State Park, in what authorities called a largely safe event.
- Washington, D.C., which hosts the 2027 draft on the National Mall, is targeting an official count above one million, with Roger Goodell and Commanders owner Josh Harris forecasting a seven-figure turnout.
