ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK)- The Green Bay Packers say Saturday night’s game will go on as planned, despite a disturbance Friday in the parking lot at Lambeau Field.
Director of Public Afffairs Aaron Popkey said he does not see the Friday’s events being an issue.
“Speaking with all the parties that helped us operate on game day, there are no issues there or anything like that.”
Police arrived on scene within minutes of when a former contracted food service employee attempted to run down a former co-worker with his vehicle.
Popkey thanked law enforcement for their quick response Friday and efforts to keep everyone safe on gameday and everyday.
“I appreciate their great help and coorporation and they do a great job keeping us all safe at Lamebeau Field.”
Many fans at Lambeau Field Friday witnessed Friday’s scene.
John Schuster said his stop at Lambeau Field left him in the middle of a dangerous situation.
“Just as we got here, it was like a turmoil. The first thing we see is a car backed up ontop of another one, and so we said something is going on.”
Schuster said the scene escalated quickly.
“It was so active that all of the sudden you had to start looking out for police cars.”
Fans that were in the attrium or Packers Pro Shop did not notice anything on the other side of Lambeau Field.
Packer personnel said they did not evacuate the entire building due to the scene ending so quickly, and being far away from a majority of fans.
