Southeastern Wisconsin letting their fan flags fly ahead of NFC Championship Game
MILWAUKEE (WITI) -- We are less than two days away from the NFC Championship Game and throughout southeast Wisconsin, Packers pride is on display!
I reckon it's time for folks in southeaster Wisconsin to let their fan flags fly, including what's billed as the World's Largest Packers Flag at a StorageMart on Milwaukee's South 13th Street.
"I don't even think it's big enough! It needs to be bigger," said David Guerrero, Packers fan.
It seems as through almost everyone everywhere is game to get down with green and gold.
"All season we've had really good sales of the Packer products, it's been awesome," said Brandon Grebe, from Grebe's Bakery.
Grebe explains the Packers in the playoffs pushes are particularly impressive profit at Grebe's Bakery where enough green and gold is being sold that revenues are up an estimated 40%.
Paul Sloth is with Outpost Natural Foods which has a cheesy challenge for the folks at Seattle's PCC Natural Market.
"The bet was we'll donate $1,200 to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin -- the losing co-op, or team, will match the donation. So if the Packers win, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin will get $2,400," said Sloth.
"For the next few days, every bus in the transit system on its digital placard will read "Go Pack Go" -- nothing against our friends in Seattle," said Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive.
Abele may be playing politics, but for those playing football, they don't see Seattle as friends, and indeed there is something against them -- it's called destiny.
