Detroit Lions President Rod Walker threw shade at Green Bay earlier this week, saying the city had no chance of coming close to its 750,000 attendance record last year. That record is probably safe with Detroit. But Green Bay, with its population of 100,000, sure came to play.

Green Bay is the NFL's smallest market by a significant margin. The crowd for Thursday's first round of the NFL Draft exceeded the town's population. Fans flocked to Lambeau Field Thursday night, where the draft was conducted from a stage in the shadows of the revered football stadium.
