The NFL Draft is coming to Chicago for the second straight year. Along with the seven rounds of selections, Draft Town in Grant Park is back with a bigger footprint, new layout, and more amenities, to better accommodate football fans attending the three-day event.
The behind-the-scenes preparation — even more extensive than in 2015 — is already underway.

Like last year, Draft Town is free and open to the public without a ticket. It opens at noon on Thursday, April 28, just ahead of the first round of the NFL Draft, which begins at 7 p.m. at the Auditorium Theatre.
