GREEN BAY- The first game at Lambeau Field means fans, food, football, and a feeling that brings some folks back, year after year.

Ashley Hoffman and her friends have been coming to the Packers games together for 10 years.  But the crowd for Thursday night's game was packed with people who have been bleeding green and gold for decades.

"We love cheese, we love beer and we love our Packers!" said Hoffman to TODAY'S TMJ4.

Nancy and John Zarcone came from West Allis for the first game at Lambeau Field for the last 20 years.

"What they say about Lambeau Field, the players, how awesome it is, it is, it's just fun being here."

Tell that to Brad Shultis, his wife, three kids, and the in-laws.

"I've been a Packers fan for the last 50 years since I was 10.  We've had some tough times, but hey, now we're just in the glory years," said Shultis.
