If you are looking for things to do when you visit Green Bay for the NFL Draft next year, Door County would love to welcome you. More than 80 businesses and tourism industry professionals participated in a virtual informational meeting last Friday as Discover Green Bay officials discussed how the entire region can get involved when the NFL invites the world to Green Bay for the draft on April 24th-26th, 2025. Discover Green Bay CEO Brad Toll estimates that about 240,000 people will attend the event, which will have a $94 million economic impact in Wisconsin, including $20 million in Green Bay. Because Brown County’s hotel inventory is already maxed out nine months away from the first pick, Discover Green Bay Vice President of Sales and Services Beth Ulatowski says lodging businesses can expect the biggest boost.
Vice President of Digital Marketing and Communications Nick Meisner says the NFL Draft will have activities within its footprint all day, making it difficult for businesses outside of the Titletown District to hold their own draft-related events.
Destination Door County plans to post its own NFL Draft page and host similar informational sessions as draft day approaches. If you missed Friday's presentation, it is available for future viewing through Destination Door County.
