The head of Fond du Lac’s tourism bureau says the NFL draft will have a big economic impact locally when it’s held in Green Bay. The Republican controlled Joint Finance committee last week voted to spend $2 million to help stage the NFL draft at Lambeau Field in Green Bay in 2025. Destination Lake Winnebago Region’s Craig Molitor says the event will have a spin-off economic impact in communities south of Green Bay including Fond du Lac. The Green Bay Chamber of Commerce estimates the event could attract 240,000 people to the state generating an estimated $20 million for Green Bay and $94 million for the state.
