NEW YORK (AP) – The 2015 NFL draft will be held in Chicago, according to a tweet by the Bears.
The Bears posted the announcement on their Twitter account Thursday, saying: ”2015 NFL Draft will be held in Chicago next April 30-May 2 at Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University.”
Moving the draft out of New York, where it has been held for decades, was likely once the league began taking bids for the event. Los Angeles and Chicago were the finalists for next year’s event.
The NFL soured on Radio City Music Hall after it was forced to move the draft back two weeks into May this year. But under Commissioner Roger Goodell, the league also has considered moving around the draft for a while.
