Every major city in america wants to get in on the money associated with hosting an NFL event. Just days after Cowboys officials declared their intent to try to host the NFL Draft, two other cities are now in the mix.
Around The League is reporting that the Mayors of Chicago and L.A. have made it clear to Roger Goodell, that their cities would have interest in hosting the draft as well.

The league has said in the past that it will consider alternatives to Radio City Music Hall, including venues in other cities.
“We’re looking at the potential of moving out of New York,” Goodell explained. “Radio City’s been a great place for us, but there are a lot of cities that are interested in having us in the future, and we’re going to look at that.”
