Default Favorite Fans

I am a lifelong fan (and shareholder) of the Green Bay Packers. Our family visited friends in Green Bay when I was 6 years old, I saw Lambeau Field (yes, it's been Lambeau Field that long) and I've followed them ever since. I am fortunate that I can occasionally get tickets to their home games, and I fly up every year or two to tailgate, watch the game, tailgate some more and thoroughly enjoy myself. I was there when the Patriots shut out the Packers, and played pickup football with Patriot fans in the parking lot after the game. I was there when the Packers came back from an ugly start to defeat the Seahawks in the snow. And I was there when the Packers handed Favre and the Vikings a defeat in October. The Packer faithful are no fair-weather fans. All the games are sold out. The wait for season tickets takes decades. There is no single owner of the team. Green Bay is the smallest "city" to have an NFL team. Yes, I love being a Packer fan.
