NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said Charlotte is “built for a draft” and could host the NFL Draft as it grows into a major global event, with the next two drafts set for Washington, D.C. (2027) and Minneapolis (2028) and Charlotte targeting 2030 as a realistic follow-on opportunity; meanwhile stadium renovations and city development aim to boost “Super Bowl quality” facilities, potentially paving the way for a future Super Bowl in Charlotte.
