With metal bleachers and no ribbon LED boards, there is an "old school football" feel, to Jackson's point. One thing that will definitely be the same, regardless of the stadium, is the trash-talking. Jaycee Horn is expecting that and more from his former college teammate, Keisean Nixon.
"Oh, Nixon, it's gonna be fun," laughed Horn, before recalling the last game between these two teams, when Green Bay traveled to Charlotte for a Christmas Eve matchup in 2023. "Last time we played him in '23, he was like standing up on the sideline talking trash to me the whole game. So it's always fun seeing him and playing against him, and I'm looking forward to it."
Nixon had to trash-talk from the sideline because both guys are corners. They aren't on the field at the same time. But the longtime friends make sure they hear each other all game long.
"He was on the sideline last time we played like, 'We coming at you all day 8,' talking crazy, but that's K9. He a good competitor," continued Horn. "Yeah, probably can't say what I'll be saying to him."
