But the organization is looking into other ideas to find ways to engage, whether it’s in the stadium or with new and different online platforms. There are currently no plans to take after other leagues and even other NFL teams who have placed cardboard fan cutouts in the stands. I think everyone just needs to keep working toward being able to engage down the road more.” “With the game here at the stadium I think there will still be some energy in the community, so that’s good. I think there was a sense of that last weekend with getting that first game going,” Popkey said. “Even though we won’t have fans at the game on Sunday, it’ll still be a great energy in the community that comes with having a game. So that was that was fun to see.”Īnother piece of that puzzle is the Gameday-To-Go food service, offering usual Lambeau Field cuisine via takeout from the Johnsonville Tailgate Village.Įven with a no-fan policy for the first home game, the team is hoping to keep that connection with the fanbase and community as the Detroit Lions come to town.

“I remember being here the first day the pro shop opened, and could tell there was this desire to connect and engage. As we were able to open up the atrium again, I think that was helpful – and the pro shop, the hall of fame, and 1919 ,” Popkey told WTAQ News. “Ways that we usually get ready for the season, we didn’t have any of that for the general public and we recognize that. But once things were able to open up again, it gave the team an opportunity to better reconnect. “There’s been a lot of information has been given out to all the clubs and how they need to engage those protocols at their facilities…Really everybody that’s involved in putting on the games has had to put in some time and extra effort and understanding to adopt all these changes and we feel really good about where we’re at, and looking forward to Sunday…As we get ready to have our first home game, I think it’s just a realization that we’re still continuing to do the things the way we need to do them.”Įven the engagement with fans and the community hasn’t quite what it usually is – as the organization, like many others, struggled to find it’s footing amid the coronavirus pandemic. League-wide, the NFL still has a cap on the number of employees in the facility so a lot of us are still working remotely,” Popkey said. “We’ve got people here on site that are working every day – mainly people connected with the football operations. That includes restricting the number of people in the building. Since March, the organization has been making constant adjustments and efforts to engage in the new way of doing things. The waiting list for Packers season tickets is currently at 140,000.Tarps with team partners and messages cover the first several rows surrounding the field at Lambeau Field on September 15, 2020. But Packers director of public affairs Aaron Popkey said the team reclaimed a selection of tickets from season-ticket holders who were reselling them above face value, allowing for an additional 100 names to come off the list this year. The Packers have a season-ticket renewal rate of more than 99%, which results in only about 70-100 new buyers each year. "Every year, I'd be so excited to get my card in the mail from the Packers," she said. "My parents had seats in the same section."Īnother fan, 49-year-old Michelle Hensel, told Ryman her parents also put her on the list when she was 2 her wait came to an end after 47 years. It was a long time in waiting," Vogel told Richard Ryman of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. That was the case for Packers fan Cory Vogel, who was put on the team's waiting list at 2 years old and was recently offered season tickets at age 51. The Green Bay Packers have a notoriously long waiting list for season tickets - so long, in fact, that some fans might have to wait nearly half a century for the opportunity to purchase them.
