GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The countdown clock to the start of the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay is ticking louder now that the Super Bowl is done; and that means planning for the event reaches a new level.
As a three-day record of 775,000 people descended on Detroit for last year’s NFL Draft, local organizers and NFL officials say planning for the big event would ramp up at this time.
“The intensity builds because of the timing of it,” said Jon Barker, NFL Senior VP of Global Event Operations and Production.
Barker oversees the production of tentpole events and international games for the NFL.
