Work has commenced to prepare for the upcoming NFL Draft in Green Bay, which is just weeks away. The Draft Theater is being constructed on the east side of Lambeau Field on Oneida Street, adjacent to the Resch campus.

Starting March 29th, there will be several road closures to accommodate the construction activities. South Oneida Street between Lombardi Avenue and the entrance to Lot 1 on the stadium's southeast side will be closed. Armed Forces Drive will also be closed to vehicles. Visitors to Lambeau Field are advised to use the north and west parking lots off of Lombardi and Ridge Road, with limited parking near the Packers Pro Shop and the American Family Insurance Gate. More details can be found on packers.com.

As construction progresses, access to Lambeau Field parking lots will become more restricted. Additional updates on parking and access will be provided to the community in the coming weeks.

The Lambeau Field Atrium, which includes the Packers Pro Shop and other facilities, will maintain regular hours, though exact atrium hours for the period surrounding the Draft are still being finalized.

Visitors attending events at the Resch Center should plan parking in advance due to the unavailability of large east side lots at Lambeau Field. Businesses at Titletown and surrounding areas will remain open, and visitors can inquire directly with them regarding hours and access.

For information on road closures and other updates as the Draft approaches, community members are encouraged to visit packers.com, the Packers' social platforms, and greenbay.com/draft25. For road closure specifics in Ashwaubenon, ashwaubenon.gov/2025-nfl-draft/ can be consulted.

Fans can register for free entry to the 2025 NFL Draft via the NFL OnePass app or NFL.com/DraftAccess. OnePass provides details on interactive activities, exclusive content, and prize opportunities.

The NFL Draft Experience, part of the event, will feature interactive exhibits, player meet and greets, youth and family zones, and local cultural showcases. These activities will take place throughout Titletown and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The central hub of the draft, the NFL Draft Theater, will occupy 250,000 square feet on the stadium's east and northeast sides. It will be the site where all 32 teams make their selections. The theater will offer general admission, standing room viewing with multiple screens. A drone show and the NFL Draft Concert Series are scheduled events, free to fans, to be held Friday and Saturday respectively.

The NFL Draft will be broadcast live commencing Thursday, April 24, on platforms including NFL Network, ABC, ESPN, and ESPN Deportes, with streaming options available via NFL+.
