Press Releases

Few teams in all of sports have the fan base that the Green Bay Packers can boast. Need proof? In 1998, when the Packers had their most recent opportunity for fans to purchase stock in the team, they had 106,000 fans - representing all 50 states, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands - eagerly purchase stock.

Green, Gold, and Proud: Portraits, Stories, and Traditions of the Greatest Fans in the World by Kyle Knoke and Curt Knoke allows Green Bay fans of all ages and backgrounds to prove their claim of being part of the best football fraternity in existence.

Packed with hundreds of vivid, full-color photos that capture the true Cheesehead experience, Green, Gold, and Proud takes fans from the raucous excitement during a game to the green and gold living rooms and shrines across the country. Along the way readers meet a variety of fans like Sister Isaac Jogues Rousseau whose devotion to her convent and the Green Bay Packers has never wavered and Christopher Handler, a local painter who takes immense pride in having painted the Lombardi Avenue fence slogans for the past 21 years.

Green, Gold, and Proud\'s visual experience isn\'t limited to just the vibrant photos of fans in full regalia - from Pack-a-lopes at games, to homes and cars fully-fitted with Packers paraphernalia of all kinds - but includes a special DVD as well.

\"The Legend of Lambeau Field\" accompanies every copy of Green, Gold, and Proud. More than 80 minutes long, the documentary chronicles the storied past of Lambeau Field by sharing with fans the stadium\'s view of history - the games, players, coaches and moments that have molded the Packers\' championship past and path to future glory.
Green, Gold, and Proud has everything that any Packers fan would want - stories of people just like them, cheering on the team they have a shared affection for, photos that will make them laugh out loud (and give them ideas of how to improve their own wardrobe collections) and a documentary with never-before-seen footage that they have to see.
