(SportsRadio 610) - Normally, the Texans hold their NFL Draft party at NRG Stadium, but they are trying something new this year.
Instead, the Texans' draft party will be held at Miller Outdoor Theatre on Thursday, April 28.
This is an especially exciting time for the Texans, having a first-round pick for the first time since 2019. And not only do they have a first-round pick, they have two in the top 15: Nos. 3 and 13 overall, at least for right now.
Could the Texans possibly trade one or both of these picks to accumulate more? Or will they take the best players available at those spots?
Time will tell. All we know for now is that it's a party at Miller Outdoor Theatre.
Fans will be able to enjoy activities in the Fan Zone on-site beginning at 3 p.m.
"We're so excited to bring the Draft Party back in a new way this year," Houston Texans President Greg Grissom said in a statement. "Miller Outdoor Theatre is an iconic venue that will serve as the destination for Texans fans of all ages on the first night of the Draft as we welcome new Texans to Houston together."
Exclusive highlights of the Texans 2022 Draft Party include:
- Live Zoom calls from head coach Lovie Smith and Texans draft picks
- Special appearances by current Texans players
- Numerous food and beverage options
- A live DJ, giveaways, photo opportunities and Draft merchandise
- A Fan Zone complete with activities for the whole family
- NFL Network's coverage of the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft will be shown on the main stage
- Texans Radio on SportsRadio 610 will broadcast live with commentary and analysis.
Admission to the party is FREE for anyone to enter. All fans will have access to sit and enjoy the Miller Outdoor Theatre lawn. There is also limited seating available for Season Ticket, Club and Texans LUXE Members, and Corporate Partners on a first-come, first-served basis.
