Churches, events planners, even sports teams are changing their start times on Sunday to make sure Packers fans can watch the NFC Championship Game.
That includes the Milwaukee Admirals who host Peoria at the Bradley Center on Sunday.
Originally Sunday's game against Peoria at the Bradley Center had a 4:00 p.m. start, when maybe a couple dozen fans might have showed up instead of a few thousand.
Now, it's a 1:00 p.m. first faceoff.
"All the people who bought tickets in advance, which is a sizable amount, now have the opportunity to come and see our game and still get to their Packer party and get home," said Admirals President Jon Greenberg.
Now, more fans might make their way to the Bradley Center on Sunday because the Admirals are offering a rare doubleheader opportunity...to the Admirals game AND the NFC Final.
The Admirals are giving away two tickets to the NFC Final which includes a limo ride to and from the "Frozen Tundra."
Greenberg says fans who want to enter the contest will need to dress warm and be prepared for below-zero weather at the nightcap.
He's also afraid that it might not be so easy to get out of the arena safe and sound.
"My players may want those tickets just as bad, so you may have to square off with (Admirals left winger) Kelsey Wilson in the middle of the ice," said Greenberg.
