KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Starting Sunday, April 2, it’s going to start looking a lot like an NFL Draft in Kansas City.

Organizers announced Friday that the league will start construction of the 2023 NFL Draft Theater on Sunday.

The theater will play off the front facade on the south side of Union Station and will open up to the great lawn at the National World War 1 Museum and Memorial.
