Day 1 of NFL Draft sees over 200,000 attendees as spotlight shines on Green Bay
According to a press release from the Tavern League of Wisconsin, last night on day one of the Draft, the service provided a total of 3,151 safe rides from participating taverns, a number expected to grow throughout the rest of the draft days.
The Tavern League says that with a fleet of 40 shuttle vans and nearly 100 volunteer drivers, the SafeRide program is prepared to accommodate thousands of passengers.
So you can leave the keys at home and go enjoy the Lambeau area and all of our member establishments: from golf courses to breweries, supper clubs, restaurants, and of course your traditional Wisconsin tavern. Just rideshare or taxi out to your destination and let us get you home and keep our roads safe.
