Camp Is Underway — So We Hear...


Took a walk today around the stadium area that would normally be buzzing with thousands of Packers fans watching practice, excited about a new season.


Something very new in the last month is the addition of mesh fence covering that obstructs views of the players’ parking area. The only way this could be COVID-19 related is if it is designed to keep fans from congregating around when players are near. That mesh is not going to stop any germs.


The temporary(?) new trailer by the players’ locker room entrance that we assume is virus-related has banners which read “DO YOUR PART. PROTECT YOURSELF. PROTECT YOUR TEAM. MUST WEAR FACE COVERING TO ENTER.”


Generators for the trailer, and players’ vehicles beyond that.


Four staffers hanging around the players’ locker room entrance. We did not approach because we did not want to be asked to leave.


NO kids with bikes. NO fans. NO players. Training Camp 2020.


Players entering their parking lot via the tunnel which goes under the Oneida Nation Gate.


Players being checked for temperature, virus test swabbing, and whatever.


Very few people in the Packers Pro Shop or around the stadium Atrium.


Normally, we’d be posting photos from practice and all activities around the beginning of Training Camp. Hopefully, next year. And hopefully, we’ll have a season this year.
