In a long-time Packers tradition dating back to Vince Lombardi’s reign, Packer players frequently ride to the practice field from Lambeau Field on the bicycles of young Packers fans.
Youngsters with bicycles line up as players usually exit Lambeau about 20 minutes prior to practice time. Some players will walk and some will ask youngsters to borrow their bikes. The bike owners will either walk alongside the players or hitch a ride on the back of the bikes.
"I got your helmet, you take my ride"
What a cool way for players to connect with younger fans!
Packer players stay at St. Norbert’s College dorms during training camp. The Packers and St. Norbert’s tie is the longest training camp relationship in the NFL. Packers’ training camp, including Family Night, will attract about 100,000 visitors from July 31 through August 31.
