GREEN BAY – After chasing their goal for seven years, the Green Bay Packers learned on May 9 that the 2025 NFL draft would come to Lambeau Field, but they had to wait three more weeks before it could be approved by league owners.
"Mark (Murphy) called me on May 9 to say we've got it, but we have to wait for the ownership to vote, and my life flashed before my eyes," said Gabrielle Dow, Packers vice president of marketing and fan engagement, who led the effort to secure the NFL's premier non-football event for northeastern Wisconsin.
