It hasn't been easy to be a fan of the Detroit Lions in recent years. Not only has the team put together four straight losing seasons, but they also gave fans nightmares of their winless 2008 season when they started the 2021 season 0-10-1 before ultimately winning their first contest in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Needless to say, Detroit has put their fans through some suffering. The loyal fans have also had to watch as the Green Bay Packers reel in division title after division title, dominating their recent head-to-head matchup. While it might not be on the football field, the Lions did just secure a victory over the Packers involving the 2024 NFL Draft, as reported by Lily Zhou of Fox Sports.

Zhou reports that Green Bay was beaten out by Detroit for the right to host the 2024 NFL Draft. It's a rare recent victory over the Packers for Lions fans, who will get to enjoy seeing the game's next great players selected up close and personal in two years.
This will be the first time that Detroit has ever hosted an NFL Draft before. Per ESPN, fan interaction will now be a part of the experience. Fans will get to attend a sort of “football theme park”, where there will be games, exhibits, music and more.
It's clear that the NFL Draft is becoming more and more of a draw for fans- and the experience should be no different in 2024 when Detroit gets the honor to host the event.
