In addition to being able to watch the NFL Draft broadcast live on a giant LED screen at one of LA’s most frequented outdoor shopping and entertainment landmarks, everyone in attendance will have an opportunity to receive free giveaway items, see their favorite Chargers and Charger legends up close and in person, take part in photo opportunities and interactive experiences set up throughout the venue, enjoy live performances by Chargers gameday DJ, violinist and singer Esther Anaya, take in the Thunderbolts drumline and celebrate the unofficial start to the 2023 season alongside fellow Chargers fans.
