Draft needs a new home, maybe not NY, after Rockettes boot NFL

The NFL Draft is moving out of Radio City Music Hall in 2015 — and perhaps out of New York City entirely.

The league confirmed Thursday it had been told by Radio City’s parent company, Madison Square Garden, the venue won’t be available in either April or May next year, apparently because of a delay-plagued Rockettes spring show MSG is trying to get off the ground.

The NFL immediately opened the bidding to other MSG-owned locations in Manhattan, as well as the cities of Chicago and Los Angeles, and plans to make up its mind on a 2015 location by late summer.

The draft has been held in New York City since 1965 and Radio City since 2006.

A league spokesman said the NFL likes working with MSG and has given the company a June 13 deadline to provide it with other facilities in the area that could hold the draft.

MSG also operates the 5,600-seat Theater at MSG and the 2,800-seat Beacon Theater in New York City, and the NFL said it will consider MSG-owned sites in Chicago (The Chicago Theatre) and Los Angeles (The Forum). Other sites in all three cities also are possibilities, the league said.

The league also appears likely to expand the draft to four days from its current three. The NFL has told New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles that it needs venues for proposed draft dates of April 22-25 and April 29-May 2 next year.
