The Chiefs will have competition in their attempt to host the NFL Draft in the near future, league commissioner Roger Goodell said on Friday.
Goodell, in town for the Chiefs’ annual fantasy camp, said 14 teams sent representatives to Philadelphia last month to observe the draft process in action. The Chiefs were one of those teams.
“There’s a tremendous amount of interest in all communities to host this,” Goodell said. “It has a tremendous platform, in that it gives exposure to communities, and it has a tremendous econonic impact.
“But the event has become much bigger than it ever has, and it takes more infrastructure.
