Packer Fan Tours In the News
The Ultimate Packer Weekend Experience Awaits
Packer Report, January 2007
If you’re looking for a unique experience, check out the Packer Fan Tours “MVP Home Weekend Packer Package.” Packer Fan Tours is the Official Tour Company of the Green Bay Packers, serving as the only official tour company in the history of the team. For each game, Packer Fan Tours provides its customers with multiple levels of weekend and game experiences in various forms of packages, with and without lodging.
The flagship package of Packer Fan Tours is the “MVP” which includes the “works.” For home games, this package includes a two nights stay at the popular Tundra Lodge, near Lambeau Field, water park passes, Packer Hall of Fame admission, souvenirs, game tickets, hospitality sessions, a Tailgate Party at Brett Favre’s Steakhouse, and an optional tour of the stadium.
The “MVP” also includes what has turned out to be one of the most popular attractions around the NFL. In a feature, which may be unprecedented, Packer Fan Tours provides an opportunity for its customers to meet star Packer players the evening before the game at a cocktail and hors d’ oeuvres reception. In addition to meeting the players, fans receive autographs, photograph opportunities, and attend a question and answer session conducted by Chris Havel, sports columnist and author of numerous Packer books.
The MVP package has received rave reviews attendees since its inception three years ago. Ryan Markwith, of Portland, Oregon, who journeyed to Green Bay this October, remarked, “Packer Fan Tours made my first trip to Lambeau with my family the experience of a lifetime. The lodging at the Tundra Lodge was top-notch and the stadium tour was amazing and inspiring. The autograph sessions, tailgate, fans and of course the game, and especially the awesome seats were all memories my mother, sister and I will carry forever. The only thing better than the events and the game was the people at Packer Fan Tours. I will certainly plan another trip to Green Bay and spread the good word about Packer Fan Tours.”
While other tour companies around the NFL provide basic elements such as game tickets, hotel stays, souvenirs, and similar standard features, the opportunity for a meaningful interaction with players who will be playing just a few hours later is unique. Players appearing at various MVP receptions have included Donald Driver, Ahman Green, Mark Tauscher, William Henderson, Ryan Pickett, Nick Collins, Colin Cole, Brady Popinga, Darren Sharper, Robert Ferguson, Correy Williams and Samkon Gado. Gilbert Brown will appear at most remaining sessions in 2006 to sign his new Super Bowl XXXI Book. Bob Harlan has made appearances this season and surprise celebrities, such as Favre family members and Packer assistant coaches, pop in from time to time.
Harlan remarked “What a great way for Packers fans from around the country and the world to experience Packer football and see what our organization and its players are all about. We are proud of the ways Packer Fan Tours has opened up new vistas for our fans to enjoy.”
