CHICAGO -- The NFL Draft returns to Chicago tonight.

This is the second consecutive year that the league's Draft Town will be in Chicago's Grant Park. But this time it takes up even more space.

NFL Draft Town will be open from noon to 10 p.m. today and Friday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday. The event is free and open to the public.

Activities and displays now take up as much room as 20 football fields.

You can train like a pro, test your vertical jump, run the 40 yard dash, kick a field goal and hit the NFL Museum. Then you can ride a 120-foot Ferris wheel, check out the virtual reality exhibits, grab player autographs, take the little ones to the ball pit and join your favorite team for a picture.

200,000 people showed up last year thanks to some good weather. But despite that success, the league is considering other locations for next year.

The draft itself is at Roosevelt University's Auditorium Theater.

Round one starts at 7 p.m. today. The Chicago Bears have the 11th overall pick.
