GREEN BAY (NBC26) — It seems like a good time to be a Packers fan.
- Fans flocked to Ray Nitschke Field to catch a glimpse of Jordan Love.
- Love signed a four-year, $220 million contract extension on Friday night.
- The increased traffic has drawn attention to the Bellin Health Village, located just outside the field.
(Below is the full transcript of the broadcast, with additional web details added.)
The Packers returned to Ray Nitschke Field for training camp on Saturday morning, and fans like Packers die-hard Christopher Handler returned, too.
Even if you don’t know Handler, you may know him because his artwork lines the fence of a house next to Lambeau Field.
“I’m here to support the team and the fans, they’re here from all over the state and the country and they’re very excited about the team and next year’s draft,” Handler said.
Outside the training camp was the Berlin Health Village for anyone wanting a break from the action of football.
Bellin Health said it created the village to promote healthy, active lifestyles.
There were also inflatables and prizes for children, meet-and-greets with Packers alumni and a chance to win tickets to Packers Family Night, also presented by Bellin Health.
Kelly McBride Moore is a communications team leader for Bellin Health, but today she’s here to have fun with her daughter and soak it all up.
“It’s unbelievable,” McBride-Moore said. “As the official health care provider of the Green Bay Packers, we love it. For us, this is the best week of the year!”
Also, as we reported last night, rumors are circulating that Jordan Love has signed a four-year, $220 million contract extension to remain with the Packers.
Who knows, Packers fans may see a lot more of him in upcoming training camps as they prepare for the season.
