Go with WNAX to Chicago and witness the 2016 NFL Draft!
April 27 – May 1
The 2015 NFL Draft was held in Chicago, the first time the event was located outside of New York City in more than 50 years. More than 200,000 fans from across the country participated in the 2015 Draft festivities in Chicago, including the highly popular Draft Town, a free, three-day outdoor interactive fan football festival in Grant Park.
You’ll fly into Chicago on Wednesday, April 27th and fly out on Sunday, May 1st. We have two options for hotels: 1) The Congress Plaza Hotel right across from Grant Park or 2) Courtyard by Marriott – Magnificent Mile.
The Courtyard is a nicer hotel, the Congress Plaza is within a couple of blocks of the event.
Admittance to the actual draft is not guaranteed. Tickets are attained via lottery. However, there will be scores of events to enjoy and see.
We are hoping the Chicago Cubs will be playing at home while in Chicago!
