ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – A new exhibit at the Packers Hall of Fame was unveiled Wednesday.
The ribbon cutting for the Jerry Kramer exhibit officially opened up a tribute to soon-to-be newest Packer representative in the NFL Hall of Fame.
A tribute to Jerry Kramer’s career and the road to the NFL Hall of Fame includes a look back a key block in the historic Ice Bowl.
Standing inside the exhibit, Kramer says the wait was long but worth it.
“Packer fans have been so wonderful and so comfortable for me to be around.”
Packer CEO/President Mark Murphy says it is kind of fitting that the wait ended on the same year that the Packers are celebrating a special season.
“We are celebrating the whole 100 seasons, and to have one of the great players from arguably one of the best seasons is pretty significant.”
The Hall of Fame induction ceremony will take place next weekend in Canton, Ohio.
“You don’t dream these kinds of things,” said Kramer. Your brain is not capable of imagining this kind of reception. You maybe dream of scoring a touchdown or recovering a fumble, but a brain is not big enough to imagine this.”
Kramer will join Brett Favre and Ron Wolf as recent Packer inductions.
