WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — Residents can now sign up for NFL Draft shuttles through the Visit Wausau Convention and Visitor’s Bureau.
Executive Director Tim White says they’ve opened the shuttles up to anyone looking to take some of the stress out of the once-in-a-lifetime chance to be part of the NFL’s biggest offseason party. “You’ll be able to relax in a Coach bus, [ride in] comfort knowing it’s going to drop you off and pick you up in the same spot.”
Until now shuttles had been part of a stay-and-shuttle package with local hotels. As of this week, they are now taking reservations for anyone. Rides are $65 per person for now but will go up to $70 per person on April 1st and $75 per person on the 15th. Tickets can be booked through Eventbrite by clicking here.
Those who book a shuttle ride still need to register for a free ticket from the NFL One Pass app, which the league will also use to communicate official event information with fans. The NFL also has a limited number of paid ticket packages available.

White says those who are going should expect large crowds, especially on the first day. The Packers estimate that as many as 300,000 will take in all three days of the event.
The 2025 NFL Draft runs from April 24th through the 26th. Green Bay was awarded the hosting rights for the event in May of 2023 after having their application passed over in prior years.
The NFL turned the Draft into a traveling event a little more than ten years ago. Previous markets to host the event have included Chicago, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Cleveland, Kansas City, and Dallas. Pittsburgh will host the 2026 event. The Washington Commanders hope to land the 2027 Draft, which could be held in and around the National Mall.
