Fifty thousand Green Bay Packers fans packed a frigid Lambeau Field on Tuesday to welcome back not only their team, but also the Lombardi trophy. When the team emerged from the tunnel these fans didn't care how cold it was.
Coach Mike McCarthy was among the last to walk out of the players' tunnel, holding high the gleaming silver trophy as fans screamed "Go Pack Go!" Those closest to the railing reached down from the stands to touch the coveted Super Bowl prize.
Dignitaries on hand included the Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker and Sen. Herb Kohl.
McCarthy thanked the fans for their support.
"You just keep bringing that passion and energy and we'll keep bringing the trophies home," McCarthy said. The fans roared their approval.
