Green Bay Prepares for Historic 2025 NFL Draft

Green Bay is preparing to make history by hosting the NFL Draft in 2025, becoming the smallest and coldest city to do so. The unique community atmosphere and rich Packers history will shape the draft experience, prioritizing local charm over metropolitan glitz. Green Bay officials emphasize the significance of hospitality and community ownership in making the event special. However, with the draft approaching, officials warn fans to be vigilant against scammers selling fake tickets and fraudulent lodging, urging them to verify listings before booking. Notably, this year's draft will also see a historic first, as all NFL teams retain their first-round picks without any pre-draft trades, promoting a more predictable draft landscape. This shift reflects a growing trend among teams to value their draft capital more carefully, especially in a year with a less impressive quarterback class.
