In fewer than 60 days, NFL players and fans from across the country will touch down at Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport (GRB), to witness history in the making at the 2025 NFL Draft.
Not only has GRB collaborated with airlines such as Delta, United, and American Airlines to bring additional flight opportunities to the airport during draft week, GRB has also made a variety of upgrades to spaces and amenities throughout the property, while looking to finalize other projects prior to the draft.
“The space that travelers see when they get to Green Bay is important to kick-off their experience in our community,” said Airport Director Marty Piette, A.A.E. “We want them to feel immersed in the Wisconsin atmosphere as we provide high-quality service.”
Completed and ongoing projects include:
- The Grand Lobby will be a space that welcomes travelers with upgraded furniture and new green spaces, reflecting the beauty and character of Northeast Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.
- Artwork from the Oneida Nation was installed in February throughout both concourses and will stay on display until August.
- The Sky Lounge will have new vending machines with enhanced options for food and drink.
- The Arcade will be revamped to include new gaming experiences.
As travelers arrive for the draft, the Concourse Lounges will feature comfortable seating and large TVs for sports fans to enjoy games and live coverage of draft events. Light catering and grab and go snacks will be available for purchase.
“We are truly looking forward to welcoming so many people into Northeast Wisconsin during the draft,” said Brown County Executive Troy Streckenbach. “The time and energy the airport is putting into renovations, upgrades and draft-week experiences will highlight what a great host our community is for large events.”
Additional completed projects include a customer service counter, veterans’ area, Packers heritage, Packers hall, in-terminal signage, draft bikes display, family rooms, mother’s rooms, and lobby signage with routes.
