Back in the Packers glory days I spent two summers working at a summer camp near Rhinelander. One of my days off was the day of the Packers full-contact intrasquad game (they actually did that back then) so I drove over to Green Bay. $5, open seating. I got there early, sat on the 50 and watched Starr, Taylor, Hornung, Nitschke, Adderley and all the rest. Including a future Bengals Super Bowl coach playing LT.
Packer presence was everywhere in the state. You couldn't walk into a bar -- and I was in more than a few -- without seeing Packer stuff all over the wall. I saw first hand the passion of a small fan base. Reminds me of what's happening here, now.
Nobody likes us outside of GB so that’s to be expected.
