The Unofficial Survival Guide to Draft Week in Green Bay
Green Bay is about to show the world what a football town with 100,000 people and a billion barrels of bratwurst looks like on the big stage.
Here’s how to survive (and maybe thrive) through it all:
1. Embrace the Cones
If you're wondering where your favorite shortcut went, it’s currently under a Draft stage or a drone rig. Don't worry—every detour is a scenic tour now.
2. Plan Like a Coach
The Lombardi method: Show up early, hustle through traffic, and have a contingency plan. Maybe two. And a cooler.
3. Stock Up Like It’s Game Day
By Thursday, your go-to snacks will be wiped out. If you see chips or cheese curds—grab 'em like you're on a 2-minute drill.
4. Get the Shot, Then Get Out
Yes, the Draft setup is impressive. Yes, your selfie game is strong. Just don't block traffic—we're trying to get to Fleet Farm, Becky.
5. Out-of-Towners Will Ask Weird Questions
Smile, nod, offer a brat, and carry on. No, there’s not a beach near Lambeau. Yes, this is Wisconsin.
6. Use It to Your Advantage
Locals are renting homes. Real estate buzz is booming. If Draft Week has you thinking about buying, selling, or investing—Core Realty Group LLC is ready to help you make moves smarter than a first-round pick.
7. When the Lights Go Down…
This is still your city. Your streets. Your team. Your home. And once the lights, stages, and traffic cones are gone—you’ll still be standing tall, Green Bay proud.
