GREEN BAY - OK, now the 2025 NFL draft plans are starting to get real — as in dive bar real.
The draft campus around Lambeau Field April 24-26 will include the Packers Everywhere Draft Haus, “a Wisconsin dive bar-themed activation” that will allow visitors to "immerse themselves in Wisconsin culture" as part of the NFL Draft Experience, according to a news release from the Green Bay Packers.
We’re not sure “activation” is exactly accepted dive bar lingo, but we’ll let that slip if it means Wisconsin’s love of a good dive bar — those longtime, well-worn, no-frills mom-and-pop taverns big on regulars, friendliness and bar banter —is getting a seat at the table.
