Why the Green Bay Packers, and More Specifically, the City, Makes Sense for the NFL Draft
For decades, the Green Bay Packers have been synonymous with football in the United States. The team was founded in 1919 and has become one of the most successful franchises in NFL history, with 13 league championships, four Super Bowl titles, and numerous Hall of Fame players. The team’s legendary home stadium, Lambeau Field, has also become an iconic symbol of American sports culture.
Hosting the NFL Draft will be a significant milestone for the Packers franchise and the city of Green Bay. The NFL Draft is one of the most important events of the league calendar and will bring thousands of football fans to Green Bay and media outlets from across the country.
Landing the event and the economic activity that comes with it for the city and the surrounding region makes for an impressive feather in the cap of Green Bay Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy.
“The Packers have a rich and proud history that goes back to the early days of the NFL and are the only community-owned team. That connection to our League’s heritage, combined with the great passion Packers fans will bring, will make the Draft a memorable event for those in attendance and NFL fans watching around the world…We couldn’t be more excited to host the 2025 NFL Draft.”
The selection of Green Bay as the host city for the 2025 NFL Draft is a testament to the city’s enduring love for football and the Packers franchise. It is also a recognition of the city’s ability to host large-scale events and provide a world-class experience for its visitors.
