Steelers president Art Rooney II wants Pittsburgh to host the NFL draft

[Shoes]

The location of the NFL draft, one would assume, doesn't matter to most casual fans.
Not many people travel to New York for the draft. The sight of Roger Goodell bro-hugging some massive defensive tackle on stage would pretty much look the same on your TV if it was at Radio City Music Hall or Disneyland.
But for the league, angry Jets fans and the history of the sports' biggest offseason event, moving the draft would be a major change. And Pittsburgh is publicly volunteering to host.

I'm all for it and it would be great for the city. It would be more revenue for the city and last years NHL draft was a success.

If they do host it, I will be there.

We could run up to the strip district, pick up some

Baccalà and throw that.

Yup, what I suspected. The draft is going on the road. I like the idea.
