GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – The Brown County Tavern League has announced a significant expansion to its program for the duration of the 2025 NFL Draft, including 40 shuttle vans and over 100 drivers. In an announcement on Friday, the Tavern League stated it is taking a large-scale approach to offer direct rides to homes, house rentals, and hotels in Brown County from both the Lambeau Field area and its nearly 200 member establishments throughout the area. With obviously anticipated high demand, officials with the Tavern League worked with local businesses and government officials to obtain 40 shuttle vans and recruited over 100 drivers for this special SafeRide program. Officials say each shuttle van can hold 12 to 15 passengers.

Share A popular golf phrase is that 'you can't win a tournament on the first day, but you can certainly lose it'. This is certainly relevant for tonight's WSL fixtures. Second-placed Manchester United and third-placed Arsenal certainly cannot win the WSL title with wins tonight but if they drop points against Liverpool and Everton respectively, then surely their title chances are done and dusted (if they aren't already). It's not that the gap to Chelsea is gargantuan. But, should United or Arsenal limp to a draw or defeat tonight (against Liverpool and Everton respectively), leaders Chelsea have been too good this season to suggest that they are going to drop at least seven points from their final six games. The Blues remain invincible. They have plenty of motivation to remain unbeaten, have a far superior goal difference to their rivals (effectively good for another point) and a stacked squad, which was heavily bolstered in January and which is about to get even stronger. Still, if United win tonight, the gap is just five points. United are on a seven-game winning streak in the WSL, stretching back to early December (a run that started with a 4-0 win over Liverpool). Arsenal are on a similar league run, save for a crucial 1-0 defeat to Chelsea back in January. Both red teams are still in excellent form. The WSL title race is not over until the fat man sings. Join me for this epic double-header, hindered only by the fact that the two kick-offs are at slightly different times. Thanks, schedulers! Everton v Arsenal, 7pm (all times GMT). Liverpool v Manchester United, 7.15pm. Share
