The NFL draft has a new date -- and a new home.

Next year's draft will be at the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago from April 30 to May 2.

The Chicago Bears confirmed the news in a tweet Thursday. Yahoo! Sports was first to report the location.

The draft will be a week earlier than last year and a week later than normal.

Los Angeles was the other contender to replace New York City as the home of the draft, which became a necessary move due to Radio City Music Hall -- the traditional venue -- being unavailable.

In my Hood eh? The Roosevelt building is brand new, and about 3 blocks from work! I do think the auditorium is in the building next door to the brand new high rise, though.

First year it'll be a mad house with fans from six or more franchises who've never been to a draft .

I think it's a very good thing New York is just too expensive for ordinary fans to afford , not that Chi. isn't but there you can drive, I wouldn't dream of driving in NY.

Good move. Let the rest of the country get a shot. They should move it around every year to keep it fresh.
