That changed when I accidentally came to Green Bay where I had to visit a hospital because of my foot that I broke on a trip around the Great Lakes.I visited Lambeau Field and the Packers HOF and learned a lot about their rich history and tradition.And I enjoyed the familial atmosphere, you can see and feel that this little town lives and breathes football, Ive never experienced something like this anywhere else before.Since then I've visited Green Bay several times and even watched two home games at Lambeau Field. Thankfully my wife supports my crazy love for the Packers and enjoys beeing in Green Bay too.But basically it just happened and i fell in love with the organization, the town and team. Like it happened with HSV Hamburg when i was a little boy. Very important to me is what PF71 mentioned, its a community owned team and doesnt belong to a profit oriented investment company or some crazy multi billionaire who wants to move the franchise to California or any other destination where he thinks there might be a better market.That makes Packers unique and this is what all Packers fans can be proud of.</blockquote>
