G-Force Acknowledged at Lambeau!

LAMBEAU FIELD G-FORCE ‘FAN FLURRY’ SET TO WELCOME BEARS SUNDAY NIGHT;

T-SHIRTS AND POMPOMS TO BE DISTRIBUTED

Lambeau Field’s G-Force will add a new element Sunday night as the division rival Bears will be welcomed to an energized crowd donning white G-Force T-shirts distributed at the gates.

G-Force is a new program that recognizes Packers fans for their longtime support and loyalty, and emphasizes the electric gameday atmosphere the fans provide for the players.

More than 72,000 shirts, each with the G-Force logo on the front and the phrase “fan flurry” on the back, will be distributed to each person coming through the gates. White pompoms will be distributed as well. The combined effect of the two items should ensure the crowd will be in a white frenzy.

Fans also are encouraged to wear their own white apparel as well to enhance the effect.

“Our fans are simply the best, so the G-Force ‘Fan Flurry’ T-shirts and pompoms should be an opportunity for everyone to have some fun with it and really energize Lambeau Field,” said Craig Benzel, Packers director of marketing. “There is no doubt the Lambeau Field crowd makes a difference during games, and you can count on them to continue that effort against the Chicago Bears on Sunday night.”

Other in-stadium components feature the unveiling of the G-Force banner prior to the player introductions. The team also will show its appreciation for G-Force all season long with gameday giveaways.

A G-Force resource is available online at www.packers.com/fan_zone/Gforce. All aspects of the G-Force program will be posted and updated regularly.
