GREEN BAY -- The Titletown faithful were at the airport in Green Bay early Monday, Jan. 20 when the Packers arrived back in town.

Sunday night's outcome against the San Francisco 49ers was certainly disappointing for Packers fans. Still, a handful of fans gathered at the airport -- so they could be there when the team walked off the plane.

"No matter if they win or lose we are here," said Bobby Anderson, a Packers fan.

Those fans traded sleep for a spot in an overnight reception line. They gave the players and coaches a standing ovation -- clapping until every member of the green and gold walked through the gate area. FOX6 News could hear fans saying thank you, great season and of course, "Go Pack Go!"

"They looked a little down coming out. I told them to keep their heads up and better luck next season," said Ryan Rivera, a Packers fan.

The loss to San Francisco was heartbreaking for players and fans alike. But for the group of Packers backers at the airport early Monday, they are keeping the faith.

"Always. We are not bandwagons. We are here for our team. Our town. Green Bay. We love the Packers," Anderson said.

By the way, training camp is only six months away.
