GREEN BAY, Wis. — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is in Green Bay for the 2025 Draft as he continues his tradition of welcoming the league's future stars.
"It is iconic, look at Lambeau Field," Goodell told TMJ4's Chalres Benson during a one-on-one interview.
The three-day event in Green Bay is expected to draw approximately 250,000 fans. While this attendance falls short of the massive turnouts seen at previous drafts in Detroit or Nashville, it more closely resembles the crowd sizes from Chicago when the traveling draft format began a decade ago.
"I think this is going to be fantastic," Goodell said.
