(PACKERS) – Lambeau Field is set to welcome fans for Saturday’s preseason matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks. The game is presented by Batteries Plus and kickoff is at 3 p.m.
As part of the fifth annual “Packers Give Back Game,” the organization will recognize Wisconsin educators and staff as a new school year gets under way. In collaboration with Wisconsin CESAs (Cooperative Educational Service Agencies), hundreds of educators and staff from across the state will receive a free bus ride to Saturday’s game, a food and beverage gift card and tickets to a designated area in the south end zone. Prior to kickoff, several honorees will be recognized on the field.
As a new season begins, fans should ensure the most current version of the Packers mobile app has been downloaded to their mobile device. Fans are reminded that Lambeau Field and all its businesses are cashless, including parking. Concession stands and other terminals around the stadium feature tap-to-pay technology, allowing fans to pay up to four times faster than before. Those who do not have credit/debit cards or contactless payment solutions may use a cash-to-card conversion station located in the Atrium.
Game attendees who have not visited Lambeau Field recently are encouraged to explore the upper and lower concourses to enjoy the variety of concession stands available, including efficient grab-and-go concessions and market-style stands. Fans can also visit two levels of the Miller Lite End Zone on the north side of the stadium, which includes the grab-and-go Miller Lite Market and the Miller Lite End Zone Bar, a climate-controlled bar space. Attendees can also enjoy dozens of large LED screens throughout both levels of the concourse to stay updated on the game action while away from their seats.
Fireworks will be set off from the stadium roof one hour prior to kickoff to remind fans to head toward the stadium to be inside by kickoff. Fans entering all gates will receive magnetic game schedules, compliments of Batteries Plus.
Prior to the national anthem, the Packers will recognize U.S. Navy veteran Todd Hope and U.S. Army veteran Sam Hope through Operation Fan Mail, presented by Network Health. Country music singer/songwriter Olivia Maro, a Pulaski, Wis., native, will perform the anthem. At halftime, the Milwaukee Reagan Huskies and Milwaukee School of Languages Hawks will take part in the Girls Flag High School Quarterback Challenge presented by HPE/Camera Corner, and teams from Verona Youth Football will scrimmage.
Fans are reminded of the stadium safety policy. No bags or purses will be allowed inside Lambeau Field unless they are clear and are no larger than 12” by 6” by 12.” All fans entering Lambeau Field on gamedays will use walk-through metal detectors. There is no exit/re-entry for afternoon games.
