LAMBEAU FIELD, Wis. (WBAY) - We continue to count down the days until the Packers’ season opener and excitement among fans, showing no signs of letting up.
They have a tough game to start the season, as the Packers are set to face off against the Detroit Lions, a team the green and gold didn’t win against last season.
We spoke with fans from all over the country who flocked to the pro shop to stock up on new gear ahead of Sunday’s home opener, and every single one said they are so excited that Green Bay Packers football is back.
“It’s money, yeah. I can’t wait to see them on Sunday. I think it’s going to be a pleasant surprise for a lot of people. Hopefully we see Micah Parsons too, and I think the place is going to be electric. It’s going to be exciting,” says Aaron Banach of Detroit.
“I’m excited. I’m hopeful, especially with adding Micah Parsons, so yeah, I’m excited,” says Scott Zahorik of Colorado.
“Very excited. Very excited. Kind of, you know, up and down, but I really feel…I mean, you know everybody’s on the Micah Parsons situation, but I feel even without him, we would’ve been strong. And I think we are due for a win against the Lions,” says Bob Stankiewicz of Allouez.
After losing both games against the Lions last year, one fan from Michigan is desperate for a Packers win this time around.
“They’re gonna have to beat the Lions. They lost to them four times in a row. And I just can’t stand having to drive back and listen to everybody at work to talk about how the Lions have won,” says Steve Stankiewicz.
Packers kicker Brandon McManus’s mom says she is optimistic the green and gold will win it all.
“Real excited, I think we have a really good shot. I was reading that Brett Favre was 27 when he won the Super Bowl, and then Aaron Rodgers won it at the age of 27, and then Jordan Love is 27 years old, so the Super Bowl is in San Francisco and that’s where my son won his Super Bowl So I think there’s some really good luck charms coming this way for the Packers season,” says Susan McManus.
Susan McManus is just one of many fans who have a good feeling about a championship for the Packers this year.
