"I can remember when the season was over, they used to pile the snow up against the rails. We could go out on the field after the game was sliding down the hills, and we used to climb the goal posts. Those were the fun days. Don't try to do it now. Right? (laughter)," Bogenschuetz said.

In addition to just being a fan, Bogenschuetz has run Packers bus trips for years. In order to secure tickets for his groups at away games, he actually became a season ticket holder for the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions.
"I was never lucky enough to get a season ticket holder here," Bogenschuetz said, referring to Green Bay.
