Hi there, Im from Toronto and a new Packers fan. That is because Im relatively new to North America. I lived in South Africa where Rugby is huge, but we didnt get much Football coverage there. I wanted to ask a few questions about the Packers as I can see you are knowledgeable fans here and I'm trying to learn as much as I can about this great team.
At times during the games at Lambeau Field I can see on TV that there are many fans that wear orange jackets and other orange clothes, I was wondering if this has any thing at all to do with the Packers.
I was litsening on a Wisconsin sports radio show on the net a few days back and they were saying that before 92, I presume when Favre came around, the Packers were in troubled times. I presume because of the poor play in the 70's and 80's and they said further that at that point the Brewers were probably bigger than the Packers in Wisconsin. The hosts were dicussing that because they were saying that they didint want to go back to those times if the team gets bad in the next few years. Lets all hope that dosent happen and I have every confidence that it wont. It seems strange though because the Packers have had sellouts since 1960 if I'M not mistaken so it seems unlikely and hard to believe that the Brewers would be bigger than the Packers. I suppose those of you that live in Wisconsin or near Green Bay would know more about this. Thanks, I appreciate any input.
