GREEN BAY, Wis. (CBS 58) -- With the NFL draft at Lambeau Field, Green Bay Packers fans have showed out in spades to learn firsthand who will be the latest to wear the green and gold.

More than 200,000 fans have traveled far and wide to be in the heart of the action.

“Just the fact that so many people from all over the country came out including myself, it’s just been a one-of-a-kind experience to where I’m considering attending a Packers game this season.”

These super fans are doing whatever it takes to experience the 2025 NFL draft, embracing the rain and going the extra mile, or for some hundreds of miles.

“Like four days, 28 hours ish,” said Liam Sack, who says he drove all they way from Las Vegas.

“Two, two-hour flights,” said George Raymond, who flew in from South Carolina.”

“Just under 24 hours,” said Corey Pederson who flew from Australia.

Coming all the way from Australia, Pedersen is a die-hard Packers fan and wears his team pride as a badge of honor. CBS 58 asked him if all the travel was worth it.

“Oh yeah after last night’s first round pick, definitely worth it,” said Pedersen.

Others only had a 15 minute drive and while they are from the area, they say they never seen Lambeau Field like this.

“It’s cool, because we are in Green Bay once a week and it's never been this busy, its triple the population,” said Jonathan Moody, who lives in the Green Bay area. “There’s people everywhere. It’s really cool actually; I’ve never seen it like this.”
