205,000 people attend NFL Draft's 1st round at Lambeau Field, almost twice Green Bay's population


Green Bay is the NFL's smallest market by a significant margin. The crowd for Thursday's first round of the NFL Draft dwarfed the town's population. Fans flocked to Lambeau Field, where the draft was conducted from a stage in the shadows of the revered stadium. By the time the night was over, the official attendance number stood at 205,000.
