From its rich team history and game-day traditions to the NFL’s only official Fan Hall of Fame, love for Green Bay Packers football brings Wisconsinites together like nothing else can. This week, Wisconsin Public Radio takes a look behind the scenes at the NFL’s only community-owned team, hearing from players, journalists, super fans and other Packer enthusiasts.
