Detroit's first night NFL draft attendance record is safe. Not that we had any doubt.
Football fans turned out in droves in Green Bay for the 2025 NFL Draft on April 24, but didn't exceed the enormous crowd Detroit drew for the 2024 NFL Draft.
Green Bay hosted approximately 205,000 fans for Round 1 of the draft, according to league officials. Last year, Detroit set the record for first night attendees with 275,000 fans.
Detroit later went on to also set the overall record with more than 775,000 fans in attendance during the three-day event.
