The NFL is preparing to announce major locations for its upcoming marquee events, with Nashville set to host a future Super Bowl and Minnesota selected as a host for the NFL Draft, according to Ian Rapoport and Judy Battista of NFL Network.
The news, shared during a segment on "Good Morning Football," indicates a significant win for both markets. Nashville’s selection follows the city’s continued growth and the development of a new enclosed stadium for the Tennessee Titans, which was a key factor in securing the league's championship game. Minnesota, which last hosted the Super Bowl in 2018, will now welcome the NFL Draft as the league continues to rotate the event through various NFL cities to engage different fanbases across the country.
In addition to the site selections, Rapoport reported that the NFL will begin deploying full referee crews to training camps this season. This initiative is designed to increase communication between officials and teams during the preseason, allowing for a smoother transition into the regular season regarding rule enforcement and specific points of emphasis for the coming year.
The official dates and specific years for these events have not yet been finalized or released by the league. Check back as more details regarding the NFL's event calendar are made available.
