Packers seek 700 snow shovelers before NFL playoff game

New York (AFP) - Faced with a major winter storm striking their home stadium before they host an NFL playoff game Sunday, the Green Bay Packers are seeking up to 700 snow shovelers.

Lambeau Field and parts of rural Wisconsin are expected to receive eight to 10 inches (20-25 centimeters) of snow Saturday night and early Sunday, so the team wants people to help clear the stadium starting at 6 a.m. Sunday (1200 GMT).

That's just under 12 hours before kickoff as the Packers face the Seattle Seahawks with the winner advancing to the National Conference final -- one step from next month's Super Bowl.
