GREEN BAY, Wis. - Two lawmakers have asked the Wisconsin Legislature's budget-writing committee to give tourism officials $2 million to help stage the 2025 NFL draft in Green Bay.
The league announced Monday that the draft will take place in and around Lambeau Field, home to the Green Bay Packers.
Sen. Rob Cowles of Green Bay and Rep. David Steffen of Howard, a Green Bay suburb, submitted a motion to the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee that same day seeking a $2 million grant for Experience Greater Green Bay, a group that promotes tourism in the Green Bay area.
