Two Wisconsin lawmakers have asked the Legislature's budget committee to provide $2 million in state funds to help Green Bay host the 2025 NFL draft. The National Football League announced Monday the 2025 draft will take place in Green Bay, which has a population of a little over 100,000. In their motion to the budget committee, Republican Reps. David Steffen and Robert Cowles, both of Green Bay, estimate the draft will generate $94 million in state revenue, including $20 million directly in Green Bay.
