GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – A sign that the NFL regular season is almost here is now visible if you happen to pass it while driving on Lombardi Avenue.
The Packers fence located across from Lambeau Field has been always painted with a special slogan every year.
Monday people gathered to paint the fence green and gold.
This year’s theme is centered around the return of Jordy Nelson with the fence reading, “With Jordy, it’s better to receive.”
Organizers of the event, like Bruce Kiel, say its a great way to connect with the community.
“It’s been going for quite a while and people really enjoy it; the media enjoys it. It’s just a nice community event, it’s Packer friendly and the Packers are friendly to it and it makes us very proud to do it.”
Last year the slogan had the theme of prevailing though tough times.
