2015 NFL draft will be in Chicago
-
Thoughts?

only 6 hrs away, I like it
-
Is this part of the NFL plan to hold the draft all over the league?
Or is this a one time thing?

I've been to Wrigley Field 3 times. It was always a blast.

You suck. They are the closest thing to The Cleveland Browns in all of professional sports

Of course right when I move to New Jersey they move it.

No their fans are actually optimistic and don't call their draft picks bust after 3 games.

It's a plan (as there's been bitching for years) to at least move it around to major markets. Radio City Music Hall isn't that huge- so you could make a case you could find a venue in every NFL city big enough to hold it.
Chicago- 5 hour drive from Dayton. Fun town, been there several times.The only thing that would get me to go back to NYC is a free dinner at Peter Lugers.
-
As I understand it as well, the NFL did *not* like being the priority booking, having been at Radio City for years, only to be moved back a month this year. So they're moving it around to capture other markets, but also potentially as a message to Radio City - I wouldn't be surprised to see them back there full time in the future, at their regular date.
-
yeah there were conflicts in scheduling the draft with radio city this past draft so the NFL is giving them the big F YOU.
hoorta: yep i think luger's is the best but smith and wollensky comes in at a close second. i'm biased as i used to work a couple of blocks away from grand central and wollensky's was our 'hour-long' (
) lunchtime eatery/watering hole.......all on the firm's sleeve. -

on the bucket list.

My first job out of college was with the airlines, I was based out of Newark. On a day off I would fly to O'Hare in the morning (there was a flight leaving every hour, cost me $5), take the L to Wrigley, drink beer in the sun all day in the Wrigley bleachers, take the L back to the airport, fly home and sleep in my own bed. Loved Wrigley.

They had planes back then?
Just glad the draft is back in April. I can see the NFL trying London out one year the way they are going, which FYI, I am totally against.

I'd love it though
And yeah they had planes! You know, the ones where you spin the propeller to get it started...
