The new Packers Pro Shop, located in the Lambeau Field Atrium's expanded lobby level, will host a grand opening celebration on July 17, and will debut the store's one-of-a-kind shopping experience, along with several opening events and activities for visitors to enjoy.
"There's so much to see, so many unique features, and so many items, that we expect fans will spend several hours at a time just to take it all in," said Kate Hogan, Packers director of retail operations. "It's a total Packers immersion shopping experience."
The look and feel of the 21,500 square foot store sets it apart from any other NFL team store. When fans enter the main Pro Shop entrance on the north side of Lambeau Field, they'll immediately see a six-foot-tall, authentic, scaled replica of a gameday helmet hanging from the ceiling. Once inside, a host of other features will be on display, including:
- A football light fixture measuring 10 feet by 6 feet
- A two-sided video wall featuring 12, 55-inch panel TVs that can be used simultaneously as well as individually
- Jersey-striped store columns with custom lighting
- More than 50 custom-made mannequins, including green and gold mannequins
- A refurbished 1957 Packers truck
- Flat screen TVs located throughout the store, continuously broadcasting Packers news, games and NFL highlights
"It's not just the look and feel that makes this an experience," Hogan continued. "You will be able to find Packers items you just won't see anywhere else and we will have the largest in-store selection of jerseys, hats and Packers gear anywhere in the U.S."
Merchandise will include men's, women's, youth and children's sections, home goods, tailgating accessories and Packers collectibles. Additionally, a new a non-Packers branded area will be introduced, featuring goods by top companies including Lucy, Kühl, Nike golf, and Cutter & Buck. These items do not carry the Packers logos and marks, but offer our in-store customers some of today's top brands.
"We hope all customers find these new lines exciting and enjoy the opportunity to find new fashions here at the Packers Pro Shop," Hogan said.
