Sorry but won't be as good as DETROIT!! No matter how hard you try Good luck!!

Little do they know that a majority of the crowd is local and there are more people within a 75 mile radius of Detroit than the entire state of Wisconsin(5.8 million people). This includes Metro Detroit, Ann Arbor, Windsor, Toledo, Flint.

agree more access of i-75,94 and i-96 than Green Bay i-41 and i-43 to Milwaukee

Greenbay cannot handle 775000 people 🤣

These small towns say they don't want to be like bigger cities but they scout for all the same events and not nearly enough hotels in the area.

I wish Greenbay well, but they might be in over their head.😊

[@fgjr96way]

People came to Detroit from other close NFL cities Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Buffalo which is less than a 6 hour drive commute, who is going to commute to Green Bay WI. Will they break 500,000 people????

I dont think green bay will have nearly as many ppl so doubt theyl have big problems. Michigan and detroit are much larger than wisconsin and gb. 90 percent of the crowd is in state/local. Green bay has population of 100,000 compared to 1 million in detroit...and the state only has 6 million compared to 10 million in michigan. Id expect half the crowd detroit had at best. Plus location is an impediment to travelers in green bay.

This. KC had about 300k for their weekend. Green Bay will have something similar, unless people in the Midwest truly do make the drive and draft popularity in general has reached a new high.

“We handle game day” hahaha it would be 10 times that …goofy 😜

[@brentstack3267]

Wow, Detroit setting good examples! I remember them putting porn on Cinemax at like 6pm on “Devils Night”, to keep ppl from setting fires. 🤣

[@fgjr96way]

Milwaukee would be so much better
