NFL draft a boon for cities, teams since it hit the road

Summary by Ground News

The NFL draft was in New York from 1965 to 2014. The league decided it wouldn’t be kicked around again in 2015, so it moved the draft to Chicago for two years. Philadelphia hosted the draft at the Art Museum in 2017, and Jerry’s Palace in Dallas became the first stadium site in 2018. Nashville and its honky tonks on Broadway drew a record crowd of 600,000 people over three days in 2019.
