Things to Do During the NFL Draft
An upcoming event that will impact all UWGB students is the NFL Draft, which is being hosted in Green Bay this year. The NFL Draft is an event held once every year to recruit new players into the National Football League teams. The Green Bay Packers successfully bid to host the event, which is a huge deal for local fans, because it has never been hosted in Green Bay before! The Draft will kick off on April 24th until April 26th, with many local places holding special events for it. Classes will be suspended from April 24th through the 27th to give students the opportunity to enjoy the Draft, or if you’re not into sports, a time to rest and have a break from school. Attending the NFL Draft is free through registration on the NFL OnePass app with the following hours of operation:
Thursday, April 24 12:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Friday, April 25 12:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Saturday, April 26 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Pre-Draft Event:
