Quote:The 2015 NFL draft will be held in Chicago, the league announced Thursday.


Hours after the Bears posted an announcement on their Twitter account, the NFL confirmed the draft will move to Chicago on April 30-May 2. It will be held Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University.


The draft was held in Chicago in 1938, 1942-44, 1951, and 1962-64.


"Chicago is pleased to welcome the 2015 NFL draft to America's heartland," said Mayor Rahm Emanuel. "Next year, NFL fans from across the country will travel here or tune in as the future of their team is decided in Chicago."

Another "Meh" decision by the Great Goodell.
Like anyone really gives a crap where it's held. 

I like the decision. However the building they selected is surprising because I had never heard of it.

Now I'm annoyed!  I told Roger to call you about the building before they announced it.  
I dont care where it's held.  I'm just glad it's not the same weekend as the TPC again.
