The Packers Love Playing in New Stadiums

The Packers have also opened up the renovated Soldier Field and the brand new Ford Field.

When the Packers square off with the Vikings on Sunday, they’ll be completing a rare feat: they’ll be the first team in NFL history to have played the opening game in every other division team’s stadium.

The most recent example was in 2003, when they had the privilege of helping the Chicago Bears reopen the newly renovated Soldier Field.

It went badly for Chicago.

What should have been a celebratory event for the Bears turned into the kind of party where the food isn’t ready on time, then one of your friends shows up and trashes your house then leaves without helping you clean up.
