According to NFL commissioner and Philadelphia stage favorite Roger Goodell, roughly half of the NFL's 32 cities sent representatives to the Ben Franklin Parkway for the draft last week, with all of them eyeing the spectacle and imagining it in their own backyards.
"When we left New York, we really found out that this was a great opportunity to engage more fans," Goodell said. "And now I think we're going to continue to move it around."
For 50 years, this never occurred to the league, which is a long time to be complacent, even by NFL standards.
