NEW YORK — More than a dozen cities are interested in hosting the NFL draft in 2015 draft, and the league hopes to choose a site this summer.

New York, Los Angeles and Chicago were invited this week to make presentations for next spring’s draft.

But the league stresses that no finalists have been selected and many other cities are in the running.

The draft drew record TV ratings last month.

It has been held in New York since 1965, with Radio City Music Hall the venue since 2006.

For the 2015 draft, the NFL is seeking proposals for April 22-25 or April 29-May 2.

The NFL originally was less than happy that Radio City could not be used in April, although the two-week move into May seemed beneficial as interest ramped up.

The league this week sent letters to organizations that work on behalf of hosting events in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York, asking for information.

Among the other cities that have shown interest in the draft are Boston, Cleveland, Green Bay, Houston, Nashville, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Seattle.

Also, Canton, Ohio, the site of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
