During "The Pat McAfee Show" on April 28, McAfee applauded Green Bay, referring to the city as a "spectacular host." McAfee and his crew broadcasted live from the Draft Experience from April 24-25. "The hospitality was through the roof, and it felt like the fans showed up all weekend long. What a spectacle the draft has become," McAfee said.

NFL Draft Day 2 viewership was up 40% from 2024. Viewership was tracked across ESPN, NFL Network, ABC, ESPN Deportes and digital channels.

That's the message Ashwaubenon, Brown County, Wisconsin State Patrol, Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and the region's tourism marketing agency Discover Green Bay shared on April 28 as the community recovers from the massive, three-day event that drew an estimated attendance of 600,000.
