Corktown businesses gear up for NFL Draft watch party, offering free shuttle to footprint

(CBS DETROIT) – Businesses in Corktown are gearing up to welcome visitors during the NFL Draft that kicks off at noon on Thursday.

Many of the events taking place at the Corner Ballpark during the three-day event will be for kids, but go down Michigan Avenue, and there will be plenty for the adults to do. 

"If you want all the action but a little bit less chaos, Corktown is the place to come," said Bob Roberts, co-owner of McShane's Irish Pub and president of the Corktown Business Association.
