The Packer Nation is unlike any other in the National Football League. In the beginning, the Green Bay Packers won the first Super Bowl versus the Kansa City Chiefs. The next year, they played the Dallas Cowboys in brutal weather conditions. Many refer to this epic game as "the ice bowl". Last year, they Packers defeated their rivals,the Chicago Bears, twice. They went on to win the Super Bowl too. All the while, there has always been a strong fan base supporting the team.
Chants like "Go Pack Go" fill the stadium! The intensity of the crowd echoes throughout the stadium. It seems to stimulate the players. Throughout the years, Packers fans have always been there to cheer on their team, and help them win.
They come from all different areas and walks of life. Some wear fresh jerseys, and others wear Super Bowl hats from 1996. It doesn't matter. It's always fun to watch. The fans love to watch and support the players as long as they continue to play "the greatest game ever played" for the greatest team that ever played the game, the Green Bay Packers.
In the beginning, there were stars whom the fans enjoyed to follow. Bart Starr and Don Hudson provided fans with shows which were fun to watch, sometimes. Bart Starr ran the ball in -26 degree weather, after being sacked eight times, to defeat the Dallas Cowboys in the ice bowl. The fans were at Lambeau field since the days of -26 degree weather to watch each and every Green Bay Packer Game. When the weather is cold enough to freeze a person to death, I don't know how enjoyable it can be to watch. This doesn't matter to Packers fans though.
When many teams in the NFL fail to preform, or have losing seasons, their fans fail to support the team. Green Bay Packer fans are different. They have shown up, regardless of weather conditions, to support the players. Besides weather conditions, Packers fans have supported their team every season, even during losing seasons. Every year since 1960, Green Bay Packers tickets have been sold out. Fans have supported the team every year!
The outlook of the season is promising for Green Bay, yet again. Packers fans will cheer regardless, but a winning season for Green Bay will give those people a true reason to cheer. Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Grant, Donald Driver, Clay Matthews, and Charles Woodson are dominant players. They are feared throughout the league.
On offense, the running game is not always working. Sometimes, Ryan Grant fumbles the ball or can barely get past the defensive line. This doesn't stop the Pack. Aaron Rodgers will find other targets to pass the ball to, like Donald Driver. If it isn't Driver or Grant, the Rackers have less known weapons like Jordy Nelson and James Starks. This year, the running game and the passing game both look dangerous. This is a good sign for the team and the fans.
The defense has the same type of weapons this year. If opponents manage to get past Clay Matthews on the defensive line, they still have to deal with the secondary. Aj Hawk and Charles Woodson have helped the Packers to remain 5-0 this season. The Packers defensive line and their secondary both contribute and make plays when they matter. The Packers are currently undefeated, and if the players continue to work as a team they will remain undefeated.
The Packers fans are dedicated to every player on the team. It doesn't matter which player makes the big play, they will always be welcomed by fans when they do the Lambeau Leap. The fans love the players, and the players love the intensity the fans provide. Maybe the reason why the Packers are 5-0 this year is because their fans have given the team support unlike anywhere else in the NFL. Or maybe its just because the Packers are truly the best team in the league yet again this year! GO Pack GO!
I've been to Lambeau once for a game and it was one of the coolest expierences of my life and every Packer fan should get to do it at least once!
