Gameday
PenskePatriotic and Packers Card Stunts presented by Penske:
Fans,get ready to be a part of the action during Kickoff and the 1st Quarter! We need everyone’s teamwork to put this together. The goal is to turn the stadium into a ring of stars and stripes for the National Anthem and into a “Go Pack Go” chant between the 1st and 2nd Quarter. Ticketed fans in the stadium bowl will find a card for the card stunt taped to their seat. Please do not discard or remove the card from the plastic until the stunt. The card has directions printed directly on the piece in order for fans to know which side to hold up during each stunt and whether to stand (National Anthem) or sit (GO PACK GO). Fans will be prompted by a group from the field holding up cue cards reading “Get Ready for Stunt #1” then “Go Stunt #1.”  The same will occur during the second stunt.
