SAO PAOLO - The NFL season is just about here! The Green Bay Packers will travel to Brazil to take on the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, Sept. 6, at Corinthians Arena in São Paulo.
According to Packers.com, this is the sixth straight year and the tenth time in the last 12 seasons that Green Bay has started the season as the road team.
It is also the first time in history that the NFL will play a regular-season game in South America and the first time the league has played a game on Friday night of its opening weekend in over 50 years, when the St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams met on September 18, 1970.
