The NFL expected 250,000 fans throughout the three-day event. The draft events are taking place in and around Lambeau Field. Detroit Lions President Rod Walker threw shade at Green Bay earlier this week, saying the city had no chance of coming close to its 750,000 attendance record last year.

The 2025 NFL draft is set to begin in Green Bay, Wisconsin tonight with the first round. On Friday, rounds two and three will occur, and on Saturday the draft will finish up with rounds four, five, six, and seven. Ashton Jeanty is one of the most talked about players heading into round one.
