GREEN BAY, WI (WSAU) – The NFL has officially announced the dates for the 2025 NFL draft that will be held at and around Lambeau Field.
According to NFL representative Alex Brooke, the draft will be held from April 24 through April 26, 2025.
This will be the first time the NFL draft has been held in Green Bay and the second time it has ever been held in Wisconsin in the modern, or Super Bowl, era. The 1940 NFL Draft was held at the Schroeder Hotel in Milwaukee. Back then, there were only 10 teams in the NFL, and the draft was 22 rounds.
Green Bay had applied to host the event each year since 2022, citing improvements to the Titletown district and the mystique of Lambeau Field. Details around the event are still being worked out, but it is expected that several venues around the stadium will be utilized.
League estimates show some 600,000 people attended all three days of the 2019 Draft in Nashville, but that could double or triple-count those who attended multiple days of the three-day event. Economic impact figures show the Dallas event in 2018 generated well over $125 million for the area, including $74 million in direct spending.
