A Green Bay man is hoping an order from a judge will allow him to wear his Packers gear on the sideline at Soldier Field before his team’s Week 15 game against the Bears.
Russell Beckman, who holds season tickets to both the Packers and Bears, filed a federal lawsuit in June 2017 alleging the Bears violated the first and 14th amendments by not allowing him to wear his green and gold during a pregame event on the sidelines in Chicago.
Beckman alleges that he wore his Packers gear on the sideline at pregame season ticket holder events on multiple occasions since purchasing his seats in 2003.
