STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAW) – In a mix of sports and agriculture, the 2025 Draft Local Organizing Committee has announced a collaboration with family farms across Wisconsin to celebrate the upcoming NFL Draft in Green Bay.
The goal of this partnership is to highlight Wisconsin’s rich agricultural history while building anticipation for our state’s largest event yet.
The Draft Local Organizing Committee is working with Wisconsin farms to create special draft-themed corn mazes across the state. These unique attractions will be open to the public in the fall and provide a festive and exciting way to celebrate both football and agriculture.
“We are thrilled that the 2025 Draft is generating energy and excitement not only in Green Bay, but throughout Wisconsin, and this collaboration with family farms adds a unique local touch to the celebration,” said Brad Toll, president and CEO of Discover Green Bay.
Each maze will feature a distinctive design celebrating the 2025 Draft, and the farms will host additional activities and programs throughout the season:
Petals and Plows Green House in Ripon will unveil its 18-acre maze and present “DRAFT 2025 GREEN BAY” on Sept. 7. The farm will also offer pumpkins, squash and a playground with gravity bin basketball. A fall party and customer souvenir corn roast will be held Sept. 14.
Polly’s Pumpkin Patch in Chilton opens its 40-acre maze on September 13. Dating back to 1889, this long-established family farm features a sunflower field, pumpkin patch and delicious food options, as well as “DRAFT Pick is Polly’s.”
Feltz’s Dairy Store in Stevens Point will open its 12-acre maze, titled “DRAFT 2025 GREEN BAY,” on Sept. 21. The store will also feature a kids’ fun zone with a jumping mat, slide and pumpkin patch.
Porter’s Patch near Bonduel will open its maze on September 27. The 7th generation family farm will feature a maze with 32 scarecrow football players, providing an interactive challenge for visitors.
The 2025 Draft is expected to attract over 250,000 fans and provide an estimated economic boost of $20 million for Brown County and $94 million for the entire state.
The 2025 Draft in Green Bay is scheduled to take place from April 24 to 26, 2025.
