11 Things All Packers Fans Know To Be True

With a population falling just short of 105,000 people, Green Bay, Wisconsin is the smallest city in the nation in which a professional sports team calls home. Despite the smaller than average sized city, fans are known across the globe for the pride they take when it comes to cheering on their beloved team, the Green Bay Packers. If you're a true "Wisconsinite" or maybe even one of the brave souls who cheer on the Packers from a surrounding state, there are certain things you know to be true when it comes to rooting for the green and gold.

1. Packer apparel can be worn on a daily basis.

Kids in Wisconsin are Packer fans before they even leave the womb. It doesn't matter the season either, Packer apparel is worn year round.

2. As a result, your wardrobe is greatly composed of said apparel.

If your closet even slightly resembles the wall of jerseys at the Pro Shop, you're doing something right.

3. Lambeau Field is a magical place.

No matter the weather, the stands of Lambeau Field are sure to be packed and rowdy as we cheer our team to victory.

4. Packer parties are big a thing.

And they're actually a pretty cool thing. If you can't make it to Lambeau, you'd better break out the finger food and invite your friends and family over for a tailgate party in your own living room.

5. A Wisconsin nightmare: The grocery store on a Packer Sunday.

Unless you enjoy the risk of missing the kickoff of the Packer game, stock up on your taco dip and other necessities the night before the big game.

6. The mall (a.k.a. ghost town) during a game.

If you're not into football, hit up the mall during a Packer game. Seriously, it will be the most relaxing trip to the mall you may ever encounter and you're sure to land a great parking spot on top of it.

7. Packer Family Night is one of the greatest nights of summer.

While it may just be one huge, televised football scrimmage, fans still manage to sell out Lambeau Field and stay for the fireworks display and great time that is Packer Family Night.

8. The Pro Shop is a Packer fan's favorite store.

Whether you're gearing up for yourself or purchasing gifts, the Pro Shop has everything you could ever imagine (and more!).

9. A Wisconsin bar & grill is the place to be on game-day.

Every bar in Wisconsin looks similar to this during a Packer game, complete with fans decked out in their finest green and gold apparel (and their alcoholic beverage of choice in hand).

10. We love to yell "GO PACK GO!"

11. We're proud to call Aaron Rodgers the best quarterback of all time.

Who else would be capable of throwing the infamous "Hail Mary" passes? That's right, no one. We love you, Aaron.

Clearly, the Packers are the team in the NFL with the best fans and we will continue to demonstrate our love for America's favorite team.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
