Columbus would be a great city to host the draft - ochocincos - 08-18-2017 Was hearing the discussion on 97.1 Common Man and T-Bone show here in Columbus yesterday, and they said that Columbus would be a great place for the draft because of Ohio State being here. And while I agree that it would be interesting and kind of cool to see the draft held in essentially a college football town, I really liked the idea for a different reason... Columbus is pretty centrally located to about 5-7 NFL teams. Cincinnati is 1.5 hours away Cleveland is 2 hours away Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Indy are all about 3 hours away And Chicago and Tennessee are just about 6 hours away Columbus could easily draw a bunch of different NFL fan bases while also highlighting one of the most storied college football programs. Columbus is also a growing city for jobs. Companies like Amazon all the way to BrewDog have established locations here primarily for distribution purposes. Your thoughts? RE: Columbus would be a great city to host the draft - Hammerstripes - 08-19-2017 Great idea - but it would never happen since they don't have an NFL team. |
