Where will the 2018 NFL Draft be held? 

Attending the NFL Draft is a great experience for football fans. It’s a lot of fun to be around fellow pigskin enthusiasts, boo Roger Goodell and find out who your favorite team’s future players will be. Philadelphia has proven to be a gracious host of the 2017 NFL Draft. Many have been impressed with how the event has been handled. However, at this point in time, there is no official site for the 2018 NFL Draft.

“Other cities are obviously watching,” said NFL commissioner Goodell, via NFL.com. “There are 14 here and we’re going to raise the bar. So I think the bids will change in the next couple of weeks.”

ESPN is reporting Dallas is the favorite, but the commissioner denied the report. In 2016, Chicago, Canton, Denver, Green Bay, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Pittsburgh reportedly expressed interest. KHOU.com reports Houston is putting their hat in the ring as well. All of those cities would be viable options. However, it’s likely the NFL won’t go back to Chicago or Philadelphia. They’ve shown an interest in having it at new cities after having it almost exclusively in New York.

Los Angeles likely has a great shot. After all, the city has two NFL teams and can certainly take on the necessities for the draft. Pittsburgh is a very intriguing option, but is it large enough to handle the draft and all of its media and fans? Having it in Canton (presumably at the Pro Football Hall of Fame) would be pretty darn cool. However, one has to think Dallas is the favorite. But the NFL definitely has options as they try to figure out which city Goodell will be booed at in 2018. A city is expected to be announced within the next two to four months.
