Kansas City is in the spotlight as it hosts the NFL Draft.

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to attend the three-day event this weekend at the home of the Chiefs. But not everyone in Kansas City will be there. So Flatland spent the day on Thursday gathering a fan’s eye view of the event.
