With the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit smashing records with a whopping 775,000 attendees, including a staggering 275,000 on day one, it’s no wonder all eyes are on the next host city. Green Bay’s set to take the reins for the 2025 NFL Draft, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter has recently raised eyebrows, questioning if the city can handle the massive event after Detroit’s epic turnout.

In a recent episode of “The Adam Schefter Show,” the ESPN Insider, alongside colleague Daniel Dopp, delved into the looming question: Is Green Bay truly prepared to host the NFL Draft amid its surging popularity and attendance?
“I know they do it for Packers games. But where are all the players going to be staying, in hotel rooms? Where are the NFL officials going to be staying, in the hotel rooms? Again this happens. But you know what, what occurred to me is, I guess there are people who can stay in Appleton. There are people who can stay in Milwaukee.”
Adam Schefter further mentioned that Milwaukee’s hosting the Republican National Convention might serve as a bit of practice for them to handle the NFL Draft in 2025.
He thinks it could help them understand the scale of such events and prepare accordingly. Despite his concerns, The ESPN Analyst sees this as an exciting time for Wisconsin.
