GREEN BAY (NBC 26) — There are eight days left until the NFL Draft kicks off in Green Bay, and if you're coming to the city and plan on using a parking ramp during the event, you might end up paying double.

During last night's City Council meeting, a vote was passed to approve a proposal to raise parking rates in city garages from $1 an hour to $2 an hour during Draft week.

Parking Garage — A parking garage is seen in downtown Omaha, Nebraska on March 1, 2022.

That means visitors could be spending $24 a day.

The city's public works director said the higher fees will help the city pay extra staff members to keep an eye on the ramps.
