Halftime Program at Packers-Eagles

The focal point of the evening will take place at halftime, when Lambeau Field hosts an on-field ceremony honoring military personnel from multiple branches of service. The recognition is part of the Packers’ annual participation in the initiative, which connects the NFL with military communities nationwide.

In addition to the tribute, the High School Quarterback Challenge, sponsored by HPE/Camera Corner, will return to halftime.

The competition will have student-athletes from Oconto High School and Shiocton High School, continuing a Lambeau Field tradition that spotlights Wisconsin’s local football programs.

Pregame Events at the Contest

Pregame activities will include the recognition of five Gold Star families, who have lost loved ones in military service. They will be introduced on the field and assist in holding the American flag during the playing of the national anthem. U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant Alison Bardeguez will perform the anthem.

As part of the Operation Fan Mail program, presented by Network Health, U.S. Army veteran Chad Wessel will also be honored before kickoff.

Lambeau Field will feature themed decorations that reflect the Salute to Service campaign. Players will wear uniforms and accessories incorporating special military-inspired designs. Fans are encouraged to be seated by 7 p.m., when the Packers’ player introductions will be accompanied by a lighting display and video presentation, according to packers.com.

Each ticketed attendee will get a Salute to Service car flag, courtesy of Fleet Farm. Fireworks will be set off approximately one hour before kickoff, signaling fans to take their seats.
