“It obviously has a reputation for being a football mecca. I think you look at not just the history of the stadium itself, but what’s now being built up around the stadium to create a really cool football and fan experience — I think it’s awesome.”
Former NFL quarterback Drew Brees
“This is wild. What the NFL has been doing with the draft is really cool. I was in Detroit last year getting to see that, and seeing how they’ve done it here in Green Bay — I can’t wait to see all the people out here. I think they’re going to be really excited. From when I landed and talking to people last night, they’re pumped up that it’s here.”
Packers Super Bowl XLV Champion A.J. Hawk
“This community deserves it. The franchise deserves it. And I think it’s going to be great for the NFL and this country.”
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
“First of all, it’s amazing, and I’m so happy the NFL Draft is here. Hopefully the NBA Draft is next in Milwaukee. I feel like the state deserves so much by having these great teams between the Bucks, Packers, and Brewers. We deserve to have events like this.”
Former Milwaukee Buck Thanasis Antetokounmpo
