This year the Draft was a month late because of Radio City Music hall not allowing them to book the day they wanted.
NFL's Solution? Put it up for bids. Now Boston, Philly, CHicago, LA, Orlando, and Dallas are all interested. All you need is a Large Theater.
Personally i think this should be a no brainer. Bring the game more places. NYC/ philly fans shouldnt have a monopoly on draft day fun.

Reading some crazy ideas on this. The NFL wouldnt be limited to doing the draft in places with stadiums or teams, they could even go overseas...a commenter had an idea of the draft in Germany on the army base (would be a great PR move for the NFL)

I'm all for moving the draft around. There is so much interest in the draft. Why should New York constantly get it?

Wasn't the NHL Draft always held in one place and then they decided to move it around?

Wasn't the NHL Draft always held in one place and then they decided to move it around? It was held in Montreal from 1963-84. The Queen Elizabeth Hotel was used in the 70's, then later in the Fourm. Montreal also hosted in 86,88,92 and 09. |

I love the moving NHL draft. Even though the NHL draft needs some serious work...(like not bringing every owners grandkid on stage, Just have bettman hand the kid a jersey)
NFL draft would be insane in an arena.
