Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich remained confident the numbers will be large during Draft weekend.
“If the weather is great, you’ll see a lot of drive-in traffic,” Genrich predicted on Wis. Morning News on Wednesday. “The number is staying steady at 250-thousand people (throughout the duration of the weekend.)”
There was plenty to see at the NFL Draft on Wednesday, including the opening of the Packers Everywhere Draft Haus.
