Lottery to decide draft attendance … The NFL has announced tickets for this year’s draft will be decided by a lottery process that will begin tomorrow. Fans wishing to attend the draft, which will be held this year in the Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University in Chicago, can register at NFL.com/DraftTown beginning Tuesday at Noon ET for tickets that will be randomly selected. The application process will run through midnight on April 5th. The NFL hasn’t said how many tickets will be made available through the lottery, but the Auditorium Theatre’s normal seating capacity is just under 4,000, well below that of the draft’s former home at Radio City Music Hall in New York, and some of that capacity will be taken up by media outlets. This year’s draft is scheduled for April 30th and May 1st and 2nd this year with the first round to begin at 8 PM ET on Thursday the 30th.
