Skills challenges at the 2018 Packers Experience
Packers Experience Details
The Packers Experience will feature various interactive football-themed stations, a 40-yard dash, a replica team locker room, “rookie camp” activities for kids, photo stations and prizes through Packers Pass. An Alumni Stage in the Johnsonville Tailgate Village will feature question-and-answer sessions with a variety of Packers alumni.
Fans can join all the free Packers Experience festivities from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day for the first three days of training camp, July 25-27.
The large-scale event, which was held for the first time at Lambeau Field during last year’s training camp, is similar to the NFL Experience fan festival held at the Super Bowl and the NFL Draft. It will be located in Lambeau Field Lot 1 on the east side of the stadium near the Oneida Nation Gate. Parking is available for event attendees within the Lambeau Field lots (excluding Lot 1).
In order to participate in games and activities at the Packers Experience,
visitors must sign up for Packers Pass
at
packers.com/pass
or through the Packers app on their smartphone. Fans who don’t have a smartphone can register in person for Packers Pass at the fan kiosk in the Lambeau Field Atrium. Those who scan their Packers Pass at badge locations throughout the event area will be eligible to win prizes. Packers fans under 18 must have a parent/guardian register them for Packers Pass either in person or on the app.
Birthday Celebration Details
The team is preparing to officially celebrate its 100th birthday on August 11th with the final festivities of the centennial celebration. Fans are invited to join the team in the Lambeau Field Atrium for a free public event between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., with a special giveaway to the first 5,000 fans.
Still to come in the next several months as 100 Seasons wraps up, the Legacy documentary will be released in its entirety later this year, and the 100 Seasons book, a definitive history of the Green Bay Packers written by Packers historian Cliff Christl, will be published.
