[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 865625, member: 7261"] I'm on the fence with the logistics of holding the draft in Green Bay. Remember, this isn't 2 teams and their fans coming to a game, with most of the Packer fans living within driving distance and not requiring hotels. This is 32 teams fan bases, draft staff and their media base, arriving for what has become more and more of an event, just like the combine and anything else the NFL and Networks can make money at, they want to make it bigger and better every year. Back in 2017, Murphy himself said hosting the draft in Green Bay is a long shot and acknowledged the housing issue. [B][I]"The Packers are hoping to host the [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft']NFL Draft[/URL] in 2019, 2020 or 2021. Murphy feels while the weather could be an issue, having enough hotels rooms for an event like the NFL Draft is a major concern. “I think (the hotel space is) certainly not what you’d need for a home game or a [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl/']Super Bowl[/URL],” Murphy explained. “Lodge Kohler would be -- having a nice hotel would probably help -- not that we don’t have other nice hotels.
