DE PERE, WI (WTAQ) – With football season around the corner, St. Norbert’s College is rolling out the red carpet for some special visitors.
Work begins today to get the dorm rooms at the college ready for some special visitors.
Mike Counter, Director of Media Relations at the college says they are once again hosting Packers Training Camp.
“It is the longest relationship between a college and a team in the NFL,” Counter said. “It is 61 years this year.”
To get ready for the players, the rooms need a little upgrade from their normal condition.
“They will begin fitting 100 custom beds into Victor McCormick Hall.”
The beds are larger and have a cooling system in place to add to the comfort.
The college will also feed the players.
“The chefs prepare the food, and the players will make their way up for team meals.”
Counter says they take the hospitality role seriously.
“We want to put our best foot forward and do a good job, because like everyone else, we want to see the Packers win the Super Bowl.”
The team moves in on July 24th and will move out in Mid-August.
