This is the first trip overseas for the Packers. They’re the only team to not have played a regular-season game in the NFL International Series.
“This is something the league office has been talking to us for a long time about. We were the last team to play a game internationally,” Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy said. “The fans there are really going to relate well to the Packers organization. It’s a great opportunity for NFL fans in Europe to become more familiar with the Packers and be more likely to come to Lambeau for a game in the future.”
