The NFL's most popular scrimmage, the Packers sold every available seat in the stadium bowl for the 2004 and 2005 editions. This year's 'Family Night' will feature an intra-squad scrimmage between the Packers' offense and defense. Evening activities get underway at 6 p.m. on the field, with the scrimmage to begin at approximately 7:30 p.m.
Included in the evening's activities, per custom, will be the popular "Jersey Off Our Back," with approximately 20 jerseys— all of which will have been worn by Packers players in the just-completed scrimmage—to be given away in a random drawing. Other entertainment and a spectacular fireworks show to conclude the night.
Dennis Garrity, President of Packer Fan Tours, said "Here's a superb chance to experience Lambeau Field, the excitement of a game-like atmosphere and wonderful pre-game events at Brett's place [Brett Favre's Steakhouse] all in one value-priced package. We're very pleased to present this event to our fans."
