Besides the game on the 9th there will be this:

https://www.packers.com/news/packers-everywhere-hosting-free-pep-rallies-in-london-2022 

I personally dont have tickets to the game but will be going on the 8th to the Belushi's Sports Bar to look to meet Nick Collins and Mr Mark Murphy. Looks like there will be a 'pep rally' the 6th and the 7th too so potentially could meet up the 6th also.

I live outside london; about an 1.5 hours, so shoot me a message here or private if you are planning on going to the game or want to hook up with a fellow packers fan.

I wish I could go! It would be neat to meet Packer fans across the pond!
I have met Mark Murphy, Leroy Butler and Dave Robinson.
Robinson I'm sure was before your time, but believe me, he's a great guy! I spent a couple hours talking with him, and he let me try on his Super Bowl two ring. (Which he just sold, along with his Super Bowl one ring, for 174 thousand dollars each!)
I hope you have a great time!!!

I have some relatives that will be there.
Every time that they come to visit, they have to go to the Pro Shop to buy Packers gear.
Today they can proudly wear it for the real deal!

As a season ticket holder I was offered a chance to enter the lottery. It is so expensive I declined. Had I entered it appears that I would have "won". One of the stipulations is that I would not be allowed to resell them.
As I get to see them play a couple of times every year, it's best to let fans in England and in Europe in general have the honor. After all that's the target market for NFL Inc and the whole "expand the brand" concept. Interesting side note, my sister in law went to England, Scotland and Ireland earlier this year. She met up with a fellow bares fan. He became a bares fan when they played over there. So it works on a limited basis. His friends and family think he's stupid but he enjoys both versions of football.
Personally I don't like the concept. I can see spending millions of dollars to try and force the growth in popularity. I've never liked the idea of Green Bay giving up a home game even if it's the 9th game or not. If the MUST play in London, let it be as the visiting team. Take it or leave it.
I hope you somehow get the chance to see the game Dulak.

To be honest it really sucks to be here at times - feels like no one is really a fan even thou they may say they are.

I'm actually hoping I can talk to some of these past pro bowl players or Mr Murphy and get a ticket some how :)

See you should of entered the contest and you could of went to the game and you could of stayed with me for free :)

Lots of people that go to nfl games here are not fans they just go for fun ... I had 2 patients last year that went to a game and they barely liked the nfl (barely as in watched zero games) - no idea why youd want to go watch em play in london if you wernt a fan ...

Cant stand polyester 🙂 - but was a cool shop. oh and I think I did meet up with someone from these forums - but wife was a bit testy with the 90f weather and new baby so I think I was a bit distracted.

I used to know where but my memory isn't what it used to be.

Leroy Butler almost ran me over with his SUV back right after the Packers won Super Bowl 31. Seriously, had I not had cat like reflexes back then (now I have sloth like reflexes 😁) I would have been road kill.
