The Arizona Cardinals will have a draft party at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale. Cardinals players, coaches, and cheerleaders will be on hand. Also on hand will be Big Red, the Cardinals mascot. The event takes place on the Great Lawn outside of the stadium.

Gates will open for the event at 4:30 p.m. Coverage on the NFL Network starts at 5:00 p.m. The party will run until 9:00 p.m. As of right now the Cardinals are slated to select 24th in the first round, so that pick won’t come probably until the last hour of the first round coverage. As we know though, things can change.
