Packers to hold draft party in heart of Bears' territory

GREEN BAY, Wis. – How many NFL teams can host a draft party in the city where one of their fiercest rivals plays?

The Green Bay Packers might be the only one.

The Packers announced Wednesday that they’re hosting two draft-related events – one at Lambeau Field and another in Chicago.

The Chicago event will be April 28 for the first round of the draft. The Packers are calling it a pep rally that will be held at a Chicago neighborhood bar called Will’s Northwoods Inn, a Packers-centric bar located less than 8 miles from Soldier Field.
