City officials want to bring the NFL Draft to L.A.

By on May 19, 2014

The L.A. City Council was unanimous in their support of a resolution on May 13 to help Mayor Eric Garcetti’s bring the NFL’s annual “player selection meeting,” aka, the NFL Draft to town.  Los Angeles might not have a professional football team, but it is seeking to get the next best thing – football players. “The National Football League Commissioner, Roger Goodell, recently announced that Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, has joined other major cities in aggressively pitching their cities for the 2015 NFL Draft,” the approved resolution stated. It is currently unclear what other cities are in the mix to host next year’s draft. “The location of the draft has continually changed over the years to accommodate more fans, as the event has gained major popularity and now garners prime-time television coverage,” the resolution stated. “It is clear that moving the draft to a venue in the City of Los Angeles, is in the interest of both the NFL and the City.”
