Fans who attend the 2025 NFL Draft could enjoy an extremely rare opportunity: To step onto the Lambeau Field turf and follow in the footsteps of Mason Crosby or Brandon McManus.
During the NFL draft April 24-26, a few, select visitors will get the opportunity to step onto hallowed grass (blended with synthetic fibers) and attempt to kick one through the Lambeau uprights. They also might get a chance to do a Lambeau Leap or walk the red carpet.
The Green Bay Packers are very protective of the Lambeau Field pitch, usually prohibiting fans on stadium tours from touching a single blade of grass. The few times fans have been allowed on the field occurred when Lambeau hosted a summer concert like Billy Joel in 2017 and Paul McCartney in 2019. Even then, the field is often covered by tarps.
The field goal kick is sure to be one of the highlights among the dozens of activities, experiences and games some fans will get to enjoy throughout the NFL Draft Experience grounds, which includes Lambeau Field, the stadium parking lots and the Titletown District. There will be photo opportunities, autographs, activities for kids and more.
Before you stretch the legs to kick one through the uprights or warm up your throwing arm for a Hail Mary, you'll need to download the NFL OnePass app and register for free tickets to enter the draft. You must be 18 to download OnePass and register to attend. Adults can add up to five children to their OnePass registration.
OnePass is not only your entrance to the draft grounds, but also serves as your passport to participate in a lot of these activities. And it'll be key to have if you want any chance at stepping onto the Lambeau Field turf.
Here's a look at 23 things fans will be able to do or see around the draft grounds.
