GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) - With three weeks left until one of the biggest events in Green Bay history, Green Bay Police Chief Chris Davis stopped by the Local Five studio Thursday morning to discuss what to know prior to the 2025 NFL Draft.
Chief Davis first touched on those planning to be in atten
dance at the draft. He says the first thing needed is to download the NFL One Pass app as it is full of all the information about what is going on during the days of the draft and is also the ticket to get in.

He adds that anyone who doesn't have access to the app will still be able to attend but will need to show up at the event and register in person.
If you don't have that, you can just show up and they can register you on site and give you a QR code. The benefit if you do have access to a smart phone and you can download the app is you can get updates in real time but they won't turn you away if you don't have it.

As far as what attendees can bring into the draft complex, Chief Davis says it will be similar to attending a Packers game as people can bring a 6x12x12 clear bag or a small purse. He adds that those looking to attend the event can also bring in an empty reusable water bottle that can be filled at various water filling stations throughout the draft complex.
While at the draft, should anyone run into any issues or concerns inside the draft complex there will be a number of options to get help.
So there's a few things you can do. There will be a lot of security presence there, obviously you can come to one of our police officers who will be on scene. Or, you can text to 69050 if you start with NFL Draft and then just a brief description of the issue and that will go to stadium command and they'll be able to help with whatever the problem is.
