Tickets currently on sale for Packers Draft Party

The Green Bay Packers and Mills Fleet Farm announced plans for the fifth annual Packers Draft Party, set for April 26 at the Lambeau Field Atrium.

The event will run from 2 to 9 p.m. (doors will open at 1 p.m.) and will feature draft coverage on two large television projection screens. This year’s NFL Draft features a 2 p.m. start time, and each club will receive 10 minutes to make a selection in the first round (instead of 15 minutes).

Tickets for the event, priced at $25, went on sale Saturday at 18 Wisconsin Mills Fleet Farm locations and must be purchased in person. Children 3 and younger are free.

Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy will greet fans prior to the start of the draft.

The Atrium again will be a Wi-Fi hot spot, which will allow attendees who bring wireless-enabled laptops to log on to their favorite draft Web sites and follow the day’s action online. Computer stations also will be available that will enable fans to track draft information via the Web. A limited amount of tables will have power available and a charging station also will be set up for users to recharge their laptop computer batteries.

The day will also feature appearances by Packers players. The players will participate in a question-and-answer session and sign autographs for attendees via a ticketed session. Attendees will receive a ticket for one randomly assigned autograph session.
