The question of bingo start time has no fixed answer here
This article cannot state what time Oneida bingo starts on a Wednesday, because no schedule exists in any publicly published reference source this article can draw on. Bingo session times change by season, by room, and by the property's own programming decisions, and a printed time would be stale before you finished reading it. What this article can do is anchor the venue geographically, explain how far it sits from major reference cities, and show you exactly which channel carries the current Wednesday schedule.
The venue in question is Oneida Casino - Packerland, documented as a land-based property in Green Bay, Brown County, Wisconsin, owned by the Oneida Nation. The name matters more than usual here: Oneida operates more than one documented property in the same area, including Oneida Casino - Main Airport, Oneida Casino - Irene Moore Activity Center, and Oneida Casino - Travel Center. A bingo time published for one of those properties is not a bingo time for another, so the first thing to confirm is that the Wednesday session you want is at Packerland specifically.
What the location record contains
The documented record for this venue is a city-level row in the Wisconsin casino list. It gives the city, county, state, property type, and owner. It does not give a coordinate for the property itself, a room count, a floor size, a machine count, or a table count. The coordinate that exists belongs to the city of Green Bay, and every distance figure below is measured from that city centre, not from the casino's front door.
That distinction is not a technicality. Green Bay is a spread-out city, and the Packerland property sits somewhere inside it. A straight-line figure measured from the city centre tells you how far the Green Bay area is from another city; it does not tell you how far the casino building is from anything. Treat every number below as a city-to-city measurement.
Straight-line distances from Green Bay to reference cities
The table below lists the documented great-circle distances from the city of Green Bay to each reference point supplied in the public record. Great-circle distance is the shortest path across the surface of the earth, the line a globe would draw between two points. It is not a road distance, and it is not a travel time.
| Reference point | Straight-line miles | Measurement type |
|---|---|---|
| Milwaukee | 101.2 | great-circle |
| Chicago | 182.9 | great-circle |
| Minneapolis | 259.8 | great-circle |
| Ford Field | 291.0 | great-circle |
| Detroit | 291.3 | great-circle |
| St. Louis | 422.0 | great-circle |
| Toronto | 432.4 | great-circle |
| Niagara Falls | 455.3 | great-circle |
| Buffalo | 469.8 | great-circle |
| Pittsburgh | 496.7 | great-circle |
| Kansas City | 503.8 | great-circle |
| Topeka, Kansas | 547.2 | great-circle |
Every figure in the table is a straight-line measurement between city centres. Road distance is always longer, sometimes substantially so. This article does not publish road mileage for any pair, and it does not publish driving time for any pair.
Why straight-line and road distance diverge
The difference between a great-circle line and the road you drive is not random. It comes from four forces that shape every route in this part of the country.
First, Lake Michigan. Green Bay sits on the western shore of the lake's namesake bay, and any route toward Detroit, Toronto, Buffalo, or Niagara Falls must go around the water rather than across it. The straight-line figure to Detroit is 291.3 miles; the road route swings south around the bottom of Lake Michigan, adding many miles that the globe-line does not account for.
Second, the road network itself. Highways connect population centres along corridors that were laid out long before direct-line travel was a consideration. A route from Green Bay to Minneapolis, for example, follows existing corridors westward rather than a compass bearing, and the road bends with the terrain and the towns along the way.
Third, state boundaries. Crossing from Wisconsin into Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, or any neighbouring state does not change the geometry of the earth, but it does change the road system. Bridges, interchanges, and the practicalities of crossing a state line all pull a driving route away from the great-circle path.
Fourth, local access. The last few miles from the city centre of Green Bay to the Packerland property itself add distance that no city-to-city measurement can capture. The property is somewhere inside the Green Bay area, and until you know exactly where, the final leg is an unknown on top of an unknown.
Green Bay's position in the region
Green Bay sits in northeastern Wisconsin, on the western shore of the bay that shares its name. The city's documented coordinate places it at roughly 44.5 degrees north latitude and 88.0 degrees west longitude. That puts it north of Milwaukee, which lies about 101 straight-line miles to the south, and north and east of Chicago, which sits roughly 183 straight-line miles to the south-southeast across the Illinois border.
Relative to the other reference points in the table, Green Bay is west of Detroit and Toronto, northwest of Buffalo and Niagara Falls, east of Minneapolis and St. Louis, and northeast of Kansas City and Topeka. Those directional statements come from the coordinate pairs alone and hold regardless of road conditions.
The venue's ownership by the Oneida Nation is part of the documented record, and it is the only ownership fact this article can state. Ownership of casino properties changes through sales and rebrands, and any current operating entity should be confirmed through the property's own published materials before you rely on it.
If you are asking about distance from where you are
When a question includes "from me" or "from my location," there is no fixed starting point to measure from. Your position is a variable; the venue's position is not. The venue sits in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and that fact does not move. What moves is where you begin.
The practical method is to take the documented coordinate for Green Bay, or the address of the specific Oneida property you plan to visit, and measure from your own starting point using a mapping tool. That tool will give you a road route and a driving time, which this article cannot and will not estimate. The straight-line table above is useful for understanding regional scale, not for planning a drive.
If the specific pair you want is not in the table, this article cannot measure it. The table contains twelve documented pairs, and no others. A distance from, say, Madison or Des Moines to Green Bay is not something this article can state, because no documented figure for that pair exists in the reference sources used here.
What to confirm before you go
Several facts about this venue are changeable and cannot be stated here. The Wednesday bingo start time is the most obvious, but it is not the only one. Session times, room assignments, and whether bingo runs at all on a given Wednesday are all operational decisions made by the property, and they change without notice to any third-party reference source.
The authoritative channel for the current bingo schedule is the property's own published schedule page, its guest services line, or its box office. Those channels carry the live answer. Before you travel, confirm the specific property name, the date, the session time, and whether the session requires advance registration or has a different start time for doors versus first call.
Also confirm which Oneida property you mean. The caution in the documented record is explicit: this name matches more than one property. A Wednesday bingo time at Main Airport is not a Wednesday bingo time at Packerland, and showing up at the wrong building is the most avoidable failure in the whole trip.

What time does Oneida bingo start on Wednesday?
This article cannot state a Wednesday bingo start time for Oneida Casino - Packerland, because no schedule appears in any publicly published reference source available to this article.

Is Oneida Casino - Packerland the only Oneida property in Green Bay?
No. The documented record cautions that the Oneida name matches more than one property in the area, including Oneida Casino - Main Airport, Oneida Casino - Irene Moore Activity Center, and Oneida Casino - Travel Center. A fact about one property does not transfer to another. Always confirm which building you are asking about before comparing schedules, distances, or amenities.
How far is Oneida Casino - Packerland from Milwaukee?

That is a great-circle measurement between city centres, not a road distance and not measured from the casino property itself. Road distance is always longer.
