2025 NFL Draft: 205,000 people attend 1st round at Lambeau Field, almost twice as many as 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 on Thursday night, where the draft was conducted from a stage in the shadows of the revered football stadium. At the start of Thursday's broadcast, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell estimated that 125,000 people had shown up, with more people filing in. "We have over 125,000 people here and still counting," Goodell announced. By the time the night was over, the official attendance number stood at 205,000. That's well more than the population of Green Bay, which stood at an estimated 105,744, per a 2023 U.S. census estimate. NFL vice president of communications Brian McCarthy cited a street sign in Green Bay touting a population of 107,395. .@nflcommish just announced that there are already 125k people here and counting at the Draft. What's the population of Green Bay you ask…. — Brian McCarthy (@NFLprguy) April 25, 2025 Either way, more people showed up for the draft Thursday night that actually live in Green Bay. Here's what an estimated 205,000 people standing outside a football stadium looks like. This is an amazing turnout for the NFL's smallest market (and the smallest city in all of major U.S. professional sports) — Joe Pompliano (@JoePompliano) April 24, 2025 It's an impressive crowd, indeed. And one that event eventually reached capacity. — Green Bay Packers (@packers) April 25, 2025 But forgive Lions fans if they're not so impressed. Detroit hosted the draft for the first time in 2024. It drew a record crowd of 275,000 people downtown for last year's first round. When the three-day draft was over, more than 775,000 fans had shown up to the NFL's annual April showcase, which also stood as a record. Detroit's also a major American city with a population (633,218) six times that of Green Bay just in its city limits, and a metropolitan population of more than 4.3 million people that dwarfs the Wisconsin town. Green Bay doesn't project to challenge Detroit's record this weekend. But it drew an impressive crowd nonetheless, and one that's not likely to be challenged relative to size of the host city.

NFL sets 2025 salary cap at a record-high $279.2 million per team
The NFL salary cap for each of its 32 teams is going up for the 2025 season — way up. Each team will have a cap of $279.2 million, according to the NFL. That will be an increase of approximately $24 million from 2024's $255.4 million figure and is the highest cap in the league's history. The $23.8 million increase (8.5%) is the third-largest since the NFL implemented its salary cap in 1994. From 2023 to 2024, the cap increased by $30.6 million (11.98%). And the cap went up by $25.7 million (12.3%) from 2021 to 2022. Every year, the salary cap amount is determined based on a formula collectively bargained between the NFL and the NFL Players Association based on league revenues. The league sent a memo to each team last week projecting that the 2025 cap would be between $277.5 million to $281.5 million and the two sides essentially landed in the middle. NFL teams were notified today that the 2025 salary cap has been set at $279,200,000 per club. Total projected player costs, including benefits, are slotted at $362,480,000. Here's a look at the cap year-over-year. — Brian McCarthy (@NFLprguy) February 27, 2025 It would be safe to assume that the salary cap would increase every year, based on the NFL's success and increasing revenues — especially with new media rights deals, with platforms such as Netflix. And that has been the case, other than in 2021 when the cap dropped from $198.2 million to $182.5 million during the COVID pandemic when fans weren't allowed to attend games in most stadiums. Based on the new figures, the New England Patriots go into the 2025 offseason with the most salary cap space at $128.1 million, according to Spotrac. Seven teams are currently over the cap, led by the New Orleans Saints at $56.8 million beyond the limit. The top five teams with the most cap room are as follows: Patriots: $128.1MRaiders: $93.3MCommanders: $83.7MBears: $78.9MCardinals: $67.7M These are the bottom five teams: Saints: $-56.8MBrowns: $-29.9MBills: $-15.4MSeahawks: $-13.4MFalcons: $6.97M NFL teams have to be under the salary cap by 4 p.m. ET on March 12 when the league's new year begins. Free agency begins on March 10 at 12 p.m. ET. Yahoo Sports' Jack Baer contributed to this report.
