Lambeau Field is set to welcome fans for Sunday afternoon's home opener between the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts. Kickoff is at noon.
Kickoff Weekend festivities will begin at 5 p.m. on Saturday, with the Kickoff Weekend concert event, presented by SiriusXM, Ticketmaster, and Polaris. The concert will feature American rock band Counting Crows outside Lambeau Field in the stadium's northwest side parking lot.
This weekend also will celebrate the Packers' annual Alumni Weekend. More than 50 former Packers players from several eras of the team will be welcomed back on the field at halftime of Sunday's game, and Dave Robinson and Marv Fleming will greet fans and sign autographs from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in the U.S. Cellular Loft.
Game attendees should ensure they have the latest version of the Packers app downloaded to their mobile devices and that their tickets are saved in their device's mobile wallet to ensure smooth entry into the stadium.
Additionally, fans are reminded that Lambeau Field and all its businesses are cashless, including parking. Concession stands and other terminals around the stadium feature tap-to-pay technology, allowing fans to pay up to four times faster than before. Those who do not have credit/debit cards or contactless payment solutions may use a cash-to-card conversion station located in the Atrium.
Game attendees are encouraged to explore the upper and lower concourses to enjoy efficient grab-and-go concessions and market-style stands. Fans can visit two levels of the Miller Lite End Zone on the north side of the stadium, which includes the grab-and-go Miller Lite Market and the Miller Lite End Zone Bar, a climate-controlled bar space. Attendees can also enjoy dozens of large LED screens throughout both levels of the concourse to stay updated on the game action while away from their seats, as well as updated wayfinding signage and graphics throughout the concourses.
Packers Perks members attending Sunday's game are invited to visit the Packers Perks Donut House in the Lambeau Field Atrium to receive a free Kwik Trip Glazer donut while supplies last. Starting two hours prior to kickoff on home gamedays, Packers Perks members can use the tablets at the Donut House kiosk to input their email; when the machine recognizes the fan's email is associated with a Packers Perks account, a donut will be dispensed. Fans can sign up for the program and earn points at packersperks.com.
Fireworks will be set off from the stadium roof one hour prior to kickoff to remind fans to head toward the stadium to be inside by kickoff. Fans entering all gates will receive a "Kickoff Weekend" flag upon entering the stadium, courtesy of SiriusXM, Ticketmaster and Polaris.
Prior to the national anthem, the Packers will be recognizing U.S. Army veteran AJ McKinney through Operation Fan Mail on the field. Country music duo Neon Moon will sing the national anthem. A flyover is scheduled to be performed by the 115th Fighter Wing, a unit of the Wisconsin Air National Guard based in Madison, Wis. During halftime, the Bay Port Pirates and Neenah Rockets will compete in the High School Quarterback Challenge.
