GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Officials are calling the NFL Draft in Green Bay a success story.
Considered an underdog by some, the smallest NFL market ended up hosting one of the most attended drafts since the NFL started changing locations every year in 2015.
More than 600,000 people attended the NFL Draft in Green Bay over three days, matching with Nashville in 2019 and behind only Detroit, which had 775,000 people attend the draft in 2024.
Overall, police said they had a few ejections and arrests that would be comparable to a quiet, regular season Packers home game at Lambeau Field.
According to the city, over the course of three days at the NFL Draft:
The Green Bay Police Department had:
- Over 100 officers onsite throughout the event
- Only 1 arrest made during the three-day event
- Just 8 ejections
The Green Bay Metro Fire Department had:
- 15 ambulance transports
- 71 emergency medical service (EMS) incidents responded to
- 1 fire incident managed
- 529 public assistance calls answered
- First aid provided to 172 visitors
Green Bay Metro Transit had:
- Nearly 20,000 total bus trips provided — a 250% increase from normal ridership
