Village of Ashwaubenon officials check out the 2024 NFL Draft operations in Detroit on April 24, 2024. PC: Fox 11 Online
DETROIT, MI (WTAQ-WLUK) — Green Bay area officials are making their way to Detroit, many arriving on Wednesday, to see what it takes to put on the NFL Draft.
From the Packers themselves, to the city of Green Bay and various hospitality managers, Titletown is well represented in the Motor City leading up to the three-day event, which will take place in our area next year.
Ashwaubenon sent Village Manager Joel Gregozeski, along with the heads of community development, public safety and public works, to Detroit. Gregozeski said draft operations aren’t exactly like what the group expected.
“It’s amazing from the standpoint of how much needs to be done yet prior to tomorrow’s draft date,” said Gregozeski.
So, I think we’re a little bit surprised by that. I think we’re also surprised by the scale of it. It’s a much larger area than what we envisioned in our mind’s eye. So, it’s going to be a big undertaking for our community when it comes to Ashwaubenon and Green Bay in 2025.
Other representatives from our area that we know are in Detroit include leaders from Discover Green Bay, Brown County, owners of stadium district bars and of course, the Packers.
