MILWAUKEE - Steve Ewing, a longtime Packers season ticket holder, decided six years ago that deserving fans should get a chance to attend games.
COVID-19, limiting access to games, made it difficult this year. Even so, his goal is to reward excellence and spirit.
Fritzie Neitzel
This year, 85-year-old Fritzie Neitzel won tickets.

Ewing said he chose Neitzel after finding out she's the ultimate Packers fan and, even as a season ticket holder, she couldn't get tickets to the game.
Neitzel said she plans to take her brother to the NFC Championship game on Sunday, Jan. 24 and hopes for a win.
The giveaway is part of Ewing's nonprofit organization -- The Spirit of Wisconsin Booster Club.
