Tickets are now on sale for ‘Packers Family Night, presented by Bellin Health,’ which is set for Saturday, Aug. 5. Now in its 22nd year, ‘Family Night’ will serve as the introduction of the 2023 Green Bay Packers, in-person to an all-ages crowd in Lambeau Field and on television to a state-wide audience.
To add to the festive atmosphere of the evening, fans who attend Family Night are encouraged to sport white attire for a Lambeau Field WHITE OUT. Packers FanCam will be used and fans can later download a photo to see themselves as part of the WHITE OUT at packers.fancam.com.
The format of this year’s Family Night will once again be a full practice, in order for the team to accomplish its preparation goals for the regular season.
Tickets are mobile only and priced at $10, available for purchase solely online through Ticketmaster at pckrs.com/familynight. There will be a limit of 10 tickets per purchase during the first day of ticket sales. All individuals, regardless of age, require a ticket for admittance.
Doors for the event will open at 5:30 p.m., with the team taking the field for warmups at 7 p.m. and practice beginning at 7:30.
The evening remains family-focused and will feature a game-like atmosphere, featuring a thunderstick giveaway courtesy of Bellin Health, Roundy’s and Walbec Group, use of the video boards featuring promotions by Ariens, Brew Pub Pizza and other partners, gameday music and a fireworks show presented by Ticketmaster at the end of the night. Family Night is a part of the Back to Football campaign, presented by Bellin Health. Other components of the campaign include Packers training camp and Packers preseason games.
Parking for the event will be $5, with net proceeds to benefit Meijer Simply Give and its mission to support hunger relief efforts. Cash payments for parking will no longer be accepted. Only credit cards or mobile payments will be accepted.
In case of inclement weather, no refunds will be issued unless all stadium activities – from 5:30 p.m. until the end of the fireworks show – are canceled.
For fans not attending the event, a statewide telecast will be available on various local and Packers TV Network stations. The stations broadcasting the event include WGBA-TV in Green Bay and WTMJ-TV in Milwaukee, as well as WAOW-TV in Wausau, WKOW-TV in Madison, WXOW-TV in La Crosse, WQOW-TV in Eau Claire, KQDS-TV in Duluth-Superior and WLUC-TV in Escanaba-Marquette. The event will also be televised on KWWL-TV and WHBF-TV in Iowa; KATN-TV, KYUR-TV and KJUD-TV in Alaska; and KDLT in Sioux Falls, SD.
The practice dates for training camp are available at packers.com/training-camp/practice-schedule.
