Draft Day Party at AT&T Stadium<br />

Every year the Cowboys invite fans to attend a fun and<br />

free party at AT&T Stadium in honor of the first day of<br />

the NFL Draft. Draft coverage is shown on screens<br />

throughout the venue while fans have the opportunity<br />

to receive autographs from former and current Dallas<br />

Cowboys players and cheerleaders and watch talent<br />

like the Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers. For the first<br />

time in <strong>2015</strong>, the Cowboys expanded their NFL Draft<br />

celebration over three days, with fans invited to attend<br />

events each day of the NFL Draft. Fans watched as<br />

former Cowboys and Cowboys sponsor representatives<br />

announced the team’s draft picks live from AT&T<br />

Stadium on NFL Network and NFL.com.<br />
