Hi, I’m Representative Ben Franklin and I represent the 88th Assembly District for the State of Wisconsin. The 88th Assembly District is located in Northeastern Wisconsin and comprises the central most parts of Brown County
Today, I’m thrilled to celebrate the tremendous success of the 2025 NFL Draft, hosted in Titletown this past week. Green Bay took center stage, and we delivered a world-class event.
Over the three-day Draft, over 600,000 fans traveled to Green Bay, shattering the expected 250,000 attendees, making it one of the highest-attended NFL drafts in history.
This incredible event not only showcased the Green Bay Packers’ rich heritage, but also highlighted the vibrant communities throughout our great state. Early estimates suggest the local economy could receive a $20 million boost, while the statewide economic impact could reach more than $90 million — driving growth in businesses and tourism across Wisconsin.
As a proud Representative of the Green Bay Area, I could not be more thrilled with how this annual event turned out and hope the NFL considers hosting the draft in Titletown in the future.
Thank you, Wisconsin, for showing the country our unmatched hospitality and spirit.
Go Pack Go!
