Registration open through April 5: Random winners will be selected.

When it comes to the NFL’s most popular off-season event, New York’s loss is Chicago’s gain. But now, fans in the Second City will have a chance to experience the hype behind the NFL Draft at no cost.

Fans can register at NFL.com/DraftTown for two tickets to the NFL Draft, held at the Auditorium Theater in Chicago from April 30 to May 2 this year after years at Radio City Music Hall, from 11 a.m. on March 24 to 10:59 p.m. on April 5.

Winners will be randomly selected and receive an email notifying them of such, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
