On 7/25 the shareholder's meeting was
moved inside the concourse at Lambeau because of lightning - so, we made the
best of it.

Last minute instructions before the first
training camp practice of 2018 on Thursday 7/26.

Mike McCarthy looks on as DL Mike Daniels
works. - Our new QB from Cleveland, DeShone Kizer.
|
|
DeShone Kizer works. - CB Davon House
(31) fights for the ball with our 1st round draft pick, CB Jaire Alexander (23) bringing up the
rear.
Alexander showed a lot of moxy in practices I saw. He is an exuberant
personality and someone to keep an eye on.

|
CB Quinten Rollins. - Our new defensive
Coordinator Mike Pettine.
|
|
CB Quinten Rollins. - LB Blake Martinez
for an interception.

Rodgers looks downfield while the O line
protects. - Rodgers, on the run, launches one.
|
|
WR Jake Kumerow (16) from
Whitewater, WI nabs a tough catch. - TE Jimmy Graham (80) with one of his
many catches at camp.
Both these guys are really doing well. Kumerow has been a pleasant surprise,
and adding a big TE gives Rodgers many more options.
|
|
Rodgers jaws with Graham. - The
aforementioned rookie 1st rounder CB Jaire Alexander.
|
|
The defense runs through its drills.
|
The quarterbacks discuss their contracts.
|
Rodgers looks long while TE Jimmy Graham
(80) blocks on the far right. We'll be seeing a lot of Graham this year.
He's tall and fast.
|
The linebackers go one-on-one with
offensive linemen.
|
A view of the practice field - The wide
receivers once again wait on the quarterbacks to get thrown to.
|
|
The offensive linemen watch one-on-one
drills - Displaying the typical amount of mental clarity of a Viking fan,
this guy forgets he's not in Minneapolis. Or is he a spy?
|
|
The linebackers go through drills.
|
It looks like both TE Lance Kendricks
(84) and RB Jamaal Williams (30) are open on this play.

Some of the biggest changes at Lambeau
this year involve the Titletown development area. It's located across the
street west of the field. Much of the project is now complete, including a
playground for the kids.
|
|
Also a huge football field to play on.
|
Besides the playground, Titletown has
cafe seating in a park-like setting.
|
And Ariens Hill, for tubing in the winter
and rolling down in the summer.
|
The other big change for 2018 was the
Packer Experience. Green Bay is celebrating 100 seasons (1919 to 2019) and
the Experience was a huge interactive display which covered more than half
of the Lambeau Field parking lot. There were tons of games and activities
set up to test your football skills. You can see a few of these activities
straight out in this shot from the stairs at the Oneida Nation Gate.
|
It's more striking when you look left
from the same spot. These installations wrapped all the way around the north
side of the stadium.
This was all set up to run for just the first four days of training camp.
Since then it has all been taken down.
|
More activities on the north side of
Lambeau, and a house - yes a house across the street from the stadium
designed to mimic
Lambeau Field.

|
The iconic Lombardi-Lambeau statues from
above, and fans line up at Lambeau as they wait for the players to return
from practice which is happening at Ray Nitschke field behind the big
building on the right. (The Don Hutson indoor practice facility).
|
|
More fans lined up to see the players,
and once again this year kids brought their bikes for the players to ride
back to Lambeau.
|
|
This year many players chose to wheel
their own kids in strollers rather than pick a bike to ride.
|
Or they just carried their kids.
