New Orleans And Company organization wants to bring the NFL Draft to New Orleans

For several reasons, it seems highly unlikely.

The NFL tends to hold the event in cities that are unlikely to ever host a Super Bowl game or more than one Super Bowl game.

And the draft coincides with Jazz Fest. There are the logistical hurdles of the city hosting two major events at one time--hotels, law enforcement, and so forth. But there's also the attention challenge. I suspect the NFL wants the event held in a city where its draft festival is unquestionably the central event taking place in the host city.

As far as the number of visitors the draft festival can attract, I can only go by the news reports. I know I have no interest in attending such an event.

And I am more than curious as to how Green Bay logistically will handle the draft festival this year--there are so many hotels and restaurants in the Green Bay area.
