I started this thread and now want to add 2 things. I think there is plenty for The NFL in the Cincinnati & Covington area, so that is not a problem. I think it would be better than when in New York. Also, I think since Southern and West coast cities get most of the Super Bowls, I think it's only fair that open air stadium cold weather cities get the NFL Draft in late April. They should not have the Draft in Vegas or any place they might have The Super Bowl, and let cities who don't get the Winter Super Bowl have the Late April NFL Draft. Cincinnati, Green Bay and places NFL would never have a Winter Super Bowl. Why should the Southern and West Coast and Domed Stadium cities get everything ? Cincinnati has did great jobs of the MLB All-Star Game, and The Ohio River of Bengals Stadium, Reds Stadium & Museum, The basketball and hockey arena next to them would be a beautiful Ohio, Kentucky setting off the Ohio River for the NFL Draft. If it's not raining. have the whole thing outdoors in the stadium, with back-up plans if forecast is for rain. I live in the Ohio to Kentucky area and take exception that this is not a good area for the NFL Draft, it is a beautiful area for the NFL Draft. You might as well be saying it's not a good area to even have the Reds or Bengals.
I'll add that Tampa gets The Super Bowl, and I've been to the Clearwater, St Pete, Tampa area many times and love it, but Cincinnati of Ohio & Kentucky have as much to offer as Tampa area who gets Super Bowls. I love living in Reds and Bengals Country and much like Jack Lemmon movie the Out Of Towners, I wouldn't want to live in New York. Of course I think I have it great, I drive by horses and cows and corn fields to go to the store, which to me is better than when I lived in the city. But there is plenty on the banks of the Ohio River for an NFL Draft in Cincinnati & Covington area. Did I say, I LOVE BENGALS AND REDS COUNTRY.
