Go Pack Go!
The Green Bay Packers are more than just an NFL team.
They are a symbol of tradition, passion, and community spirit.
For UK NFL fans looking to pick a team, there is no better choice than the Packers.
A team owned by the fans
Unlike any other team in the NFL, the Packers are publicly owned.
The team belongs to the people of Green Bay – a small city of just over 100,000 residents.
This unique ownership structure means there is no billionaire pulling the strings. Instead, decisions are made with the fans’ best interests at heart.
Supporting the Packers means being part of something bigger – a family that spans the globe.
A storied history
Few teams in any sport can match the Packers’ incredible history. Green Bay has won 13 championships – including four Super Bowls – which is more than any other NFL team.
From the early dominance under Curly Lambeau to the Vince Lombardi era – when the first two Super Bowls were won – success is woven into the fabric of this franchise.
Legendary players such as Bart Starr, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers have defined generations of greatness.
The Packers’ iconic home, Lambeau Field, is often referred to as the “Cathedral of Football”. Visiting it is on every NFL fan’s bucket list.
It does not boast the flashy amenities of modern stadiums like SoFi or Allegiant Stadium. Instead, it reflects the essence of the Packers – timeless, unique, and built on tradition.
The friendliest fans
What truly sets the Packers apart is the people of Green Bay and Wisconsin. The Midwest hospitality is genuine, and Packers fans are known for their warmth and friendliness.
Visiting fans are often welcomed with open arms – sometimes even into locals’ homes for tailgates. This sense of community makes supporting the Packers feel special, whether you live in Green Bay or thousands of miles away in the UK.
Several years ago, while visiting Florida with my family, I wore a Packers T-shirt one evening. A couple spotted it in a bar and struck up a conversation about the Green & Gold.
Two days later, they invited us to celebrate the Fourth of July with them.
For me, that moment perfectly captures the warmth and unmatched hospitality of Packers fans and the people of Wisconsin. If you value camaraderie and community, this fanbase will make you feel like one of their own.
Passing the tradition forward
Someday, I hope to take my daughter to Lambeau Field so she can find her own heroes in the green and gold as I did.
She already screams “Go Pack Go!” while wearing a foam slab of cheese significantly bigger than her own head!
Support the Packers, and you will not just gain a team – you will gain a family.
