Green Bay locals profit from NFL Draft transportation
As the NFL Draft approaches, locals in Green Bay are finding ways to make money through transportation. The event, scheduled for April 24 and 25, is expected to attract thousands of visitors, creating demand for car rentals and parking spaces. One popular option is Turo, a car rental service similar to Airbnb. Local resident Rik Richards has multiple cars listed, ranging from luxury vehicles to more affordable options. Although some renters may cause damage, Richards notes that the overall return on investment from Turo is favorable. Parking is also a lucrative opportunity for residents near Lambeau Field. Ashwaubenon schools are closing during the Draft but are opening their parking lots to visitors. With 700 spots available, the district could earn over $100,000, which will support school programs and activities. Discover Green Bay's website provides a map of available parking spaces and helps travelers find designated areas to park. Upcoming road closures and designated rideshare zones are being established on St. Agnes Drive and Reggie White Way to streamline transportation for fans. The NFL is collaborating with rideshare companies to enhance operations during the event.
