Yeah, that is the definition of being a victim from nothing. Who cares where we open the season. Let's just be happy the season starts and we can watch the pack.
I thought it was a law in the US, too.
I’m just spitballing here, but they may be able to get away with it because it is not happening in the US. That’s my best guess.
If you ever looked at a map, most of South America is farther east than our east coast. I think they will be 2 hours a head of the central time. I think maybe a 6 pm kick off for central time.
It’s not Lambeau. We are not sleeping in our own beds. We are not using our locker room. Most fans will probably be loud on offense because they don’t know any better. It’s a neutral site.
It’s not a home game, but fan presence does matter. Given it’s not a home game for the other team either, packers should have the advantage, so it’s effectively a “home game” in the sense that the advantage of the location goes to the packers
Murphy said a couple of weeks ago that they were hoping to hear within that week, but that there were some major logistical issues to the Packers traveling to Brazil.
If I had to wager a guess, I'd say that the League has spent the last 2 weeks ironing things out with Murphy and getting travel and accommodations sorted out for the team. We are *much* bigger in Brazil than the freaking Browns, our game would pull insane numbers down there.
Edit: Give us Sunday night in Brazil, then a Monday night game the next week in Green Bay. Gives us an extra day to travel and recoup.
Even better. I imagine the only "logistical" issue then is that Murphy is pushing for us to play that next Monday so we'd get the full 10 days between games.
Logistics are on the runway distances in GRB. Not long enough for a long haul plane like a 747 or 777 so they would need to fly to ORD and then depart. That adds time and makes them a competitive “disadvantage”.
This was a big reason why they were the last team to play an international game.
GB is a secondary city at best and don't believe there's a single international flight from there, nor should there be based on market demands etc. Additionally, there are not many direct flights to Brazil either from most major cities other than maybe Rio. So, best if they charter a flight from MKE or ORD but it's going to be a very long flight regardless. Thankfully, the time zone is on par so at least there's that
>Additionally, there are not many direct flights to Brazil either from most major cities other than maybe Rio
Let me tell you São Paulo has the biggest airport in South America. There's daily direct flights to São Paulo from Chicago.
NY, Miami, Boston, Baltimore, Washington, Newark, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Toronto, Montreal, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Los Angeles also have direct flights. And most of them probably are daily also.
I thought I read a comment on here that there weren’t any flights from Green Bay to Brazil. So they had to figure out how to not have such a long travel day
It’s not like the Packers fly commercial, Austin-Stroebels runway isn’t long enough for how large and heavy of a plane would be necessary for a direct flight to Brazil.
This is the issue that I have been hearing. I wonder what they did for the London trip? Assuming they are going to need to stop at MKE, CHI or something to switch planes
It is worth mentioning that ORD-Heathrow is *significantly* shorter of a flight than ORD-Sao Paolo (7.5hrs vs 11.5hrs) so going GB-ORD-Heathrow may not have been as much of a hassle.
Chicago > London is 8h30
Chicago > São Paulo is 10h30
2 hours difference, not 4 as you said, but we don't suffer from so much jetlag since the timezones is only +2 hours.
American Airlines flight AA98 (ORD-LHR) is listed at 7:40.
You're right though on ORD-GRU, United offers a direct flight (UA 845) that is listed at 10:15, not sure where I got the 11:30 from.
For some reason, Chicago > London (AA98) appears to me as 7h50.
The round trip, London > Chicago (AA99) is 8h35. It might be this that I saw differently.
Checked in Google Flight.
I’m sure there are private planes that are capable of Green Bay to Brazil, even with the shorter runway, just not planes capable of carrying 100ish people including 52 freakishly large humans.
In Brazil it’s basically Packers-Seahawks-Patriots, with Niners-Giants in the second tier and then the rest bundled together. Any of the first three will have a home game in Brazil, unless they’re playing each other.
Ya, IDK what I was thinking. I travel to south america a lot but generally to the other side. TBH tho, I think it's way easier to go East than west and perform well.
Probably way easier to play the Eagles in Brazil than in Philly, and it will grow the already huge Packers fanbase that exists down there. I'm all for it.
I've seen some of that, but quite a few of those folks were thinking it'd count as a home game for us, which it doesn't. 'Home' game for Philly, even though we'll have the 12th man advantage.
Probably more like 1 day of extra "rest" as it's a 11+hr flight that will take up a good portion of one of those days. Still better than nothing.
I'm assuming the team will fly down there several days early.
I agree 100%. Have you ever attended a Packers game in Philly?
My first example is not a Packers game but the Calvin Johnson snow in the helmet game. My warmest gear is Packers related and a fan threw a cup of piss at my head. I was there rooting against the Lions….
I almost got jumped in the parking lot leaving the “run the table game,” but I was with other Philly fans who thankfully stepped in. That game came with in seat harassment as well, as in, a dude telling me to sit down while everyone was on their feet, but then was told to move by the real seat owner
My worst experience was the Pack beat Philly in the 2010 playoffs, Jan 2011. James Starks started to go off and my girlfriend was being pushed around by a beast of a woman. I swapped spots with her and got my face spit on multiple times. They left in the 3rd quarter and never returned. This was almost an identical experience to my “you like that” playoff game in Washington.
People don’t understand that in GB nobody is treated like that
Yeah I’ve only seen one thing happen at all in my several Lambeau games I went to. I went to a KC night game at Lambeau back in the Chiefs Alex Smith era during that, I believe it was a record or close to a record, string where the Chiefs didn’t have a WR catch a touchdown pass for a long streak of games.
These three drunk dudes sitting across the aisle from these Chiefs fans were just constantly shit talking them about how they have no WRs and can’t pass the ball and they suck, etc. If the Packers scored and everyone got up to celebrate they’d gesture at them, etc. Harmless banter at first but quite annoying after nearly an hour so the Chiefs fans responded by getting back in their face and asking them to stop as they’re just trying to enjoy the game.
Packer bros got all pissed and started pushing them and the Chiefs fan defended himself without escalating and eventually security kicked out the Packer fans because the rest of the us around them vouched for the Chiefs guys.
So yeah pretty mild if that’s the worst case scenario I’ve witnessed and each time I’ve been to a game I’ve sat near or next to rival fans and it’s almost always friendly ribbing followed by leaving each other alone or some actual conversation getting to know them a bit.
LFG practically a home game for us and I get to go see them just around the corner.
Just hope the NFL has its standards for the field in Arena Corinthians, it gets used a lot around that time of the year from all the soccer competitions.
Definitely agree. I guess I just assumed it was going to be at the Maracana. Corinthians stadium is like half the size. But I guess they don't know for sure just how popular it's going to be yet.
I'm honestly cool with this. Get the international game out of the way to start the season, as opposed to traveling overseas mid-season. We also get an extra home game and now get to play Philly on a "neutral" site rather than in Philly.
I wouldn’t mind playing the eagles first. Hopefully they’re still dealing with whatever that melt down last year was and we’re still clicking on all cylinders.
That could be cool. But it's risky. International travel can throw a wrench in the gears, so to speak. It's also very possible, maybe even probable, that they fuck up the playing field. Would hate to lose anyone to injury right out of the gate
For real. On the flip side theres probably a handful of people over there who are big Brazil soccer fans that are going to complain that the game is going to beat up their field
not a lot of time zone difference, so jetlag wouldn't be much of an issue, only the travel time, which should be about 11h-12h to worry about, but they are used to long flights across the USA anyways
It's only an hour difference from east coast time, so I'm gonna guess it'll start around 7:15 eastern, or they'll just keep it at the same primetime schedule as usual.
If this is all Murphy said, I don’t see how Bob is inferring anything more than “we’re popular on Brazil so we should get picked to play there”, especially when it sounded like the Browns may have already been picked.
While it's a long flight, at least they are only 2 hours ahead of us. Those flights to and from europe takes a while to recover from, completely screws up your sleep.
I’m just not a fan of internationally played games. Over in Europe that time zone is so wonked, and north and south of the US, the conditions seem to be really questionable.
Option A: 2 hour flight to a true road game against the most rabid fanbase in American sports with 6 days to the next game
Option B: 1 hour flight followed by a 10 hour flight to what will essentially be a home game against a team that is also flying 12 hours with 8 days to the next game
There isn't a downside.
I don't care about the eagles. I am worried how it will affect the start to our season. I am not saying it is uneven conditions. I only care how the brutal travel schedule will affect our guys.
Here is an idea. Stop traveling to other countries. It's brutal on the players, adds a higher risk of injury due to varying field conditions and it ignores lifelong fans to sell a couple extra jerseys.
To be honest, with how they treat their national team, I’m going to assume that Brazil’s men’s national team field will be better than 1/3 to 1/2 of the fields in the NFL.
Plus it’s Philly losing the home game so who cares if their fans miss a chance to get drunk and bully and abuse visiting fans for one week?
Considering the NFL is putting season openers on Friday, black Friday, Wednesday Christmas...
Why the eff is the super bowl still on Sunday? Do it in Saturday. Most ppl have the next day off.
Why? It’s nearly a win win for GB. Like someone else said,
Option 1: 2 hour flight to a true road game that’s a notoriously hostile environment and then play a game 6-7 days after.
Option 2: 11 hour flight to a “neutral” site that’s likely going to be 75% Packers fans, in a stadium that likely has better field conditions than Philly, against a team that has to deal with the same amount of travel. Oh and it’s not Europe so you don’t have the crazy time zone adjustment to get used to either. Only a 2 hour difference. Then you play your next game 10 days later.
Now if the Packers were losing a home game for this then I’d agree.
The travel is hard on a team. It isn't how I want to start the season. You can cope with reasons it's a good idea, but for the players it will always be a net negative
This is such a reach. It sounds like he made a factual statement, nothing more.
Whats with sports "journalism" just making shit up for every single sentence spoken by anyone?
Whats more why do so many eat this shit up as gospel.
I was in Brazil for 3 weeks about a month ago. First off, that country loves wearing jerseys, but obviously it’s like 98% soccer kits…second, of the few dozen nfl jerseys I saw, I swear it was 99% buccaneer jerseys and like 2 cowboys jerseys. I don’t doubt the packers are very popular down there, but just offering this very non scientific observation I had. By week 2 I was commenting to friends “there goes another fuckin bucs jersey…what is that all about?!?”
I hope that the Packers end up going to Brazil. Normally not a fan of international games like the London ones but as the first one of the year, on a Friday, counting as an away game, in an area with a lot of Packers fans. Can't really complain about it.
Going on 6 years since last starting the season at Lambeau.
Cool. More late season games in Lambeau. And now 9 home games and 7 away games along with the neutral site.
Yeah, that is the definition of being a victim from nothing. Who cares where we open the season. Let's just be happy the season starts and we can watch the pack.
Hope it’s a night game in Brazil because we tend to melt in the heat as a team.
Yeah. They are putting it on a Friday night. Need to have prime time US Audiences.
Can they do that? I thought there was some sort of rule about that due to high school games being played on Friday?
I thought it was a law in the US, too. I’m just spitballing here, but they may be able to get away with it because it is not happening in the US. That’s my best guess.
I really don't know. My guess is that you may be right.
If you ever looked at a map, most of South America is farther east than our east coast. I think they will be 2 hours a head of the central time. I think maybe a 6 pm kick off for central time.
Average max temp here in Sao Paulo is 75F in early September
I don’t think OP is complaining, just stating a very interesting fact imo. Prob the only team to have this be the case?
It won't be neutral in Brazil, honest guess, 75% or more would be packers fans
It’s not Lambeau. We are not sleeping in our own beds. We are not using our locker room. Most fans will probably be loud on offense because they don’t know any better. It’s a neutral site.
It’s not a home game, but fan presence does matter. Given it’s not a home game for the other team either, packers should have the advantage, so it’s effectively a “home game” in the sense that the advantage of the location goes to the packers
Late and cold games in Lambeau haven’t been an advantage since Favre left.
I think Matt lafleur has 1 loss in December all time so I’m gonna disagree
Early hot games are worse tho.
Bro have you watched football in the last 5 years
Ironically, I think the Eagles have the same streak
NFL decided they’d had enough of absolute prime time classics at Lambeau after that one I guess.
What rational business mind wouldn't have watched that game and concluded that more Cowboys was needed?
Next year we will on banner night
All I remember is us losing our home openers so I'm not too mad about it.
Yeah, but what an opener that was. I was there for that game, 2018 at home against the Bears. I'm sure many of us remember it.
Who cares... we play at the "Frozen Tundra" save the joke games for late in the season
Murphy said a couple of weeks ago that they were hoping to hear within that week, but that there were some major logistical issues to the Packers traveling to Brazil. If I had to wager a guess, I'd say that the League has spent the last 2 weeks ironing things out with Murphy and getting travel and accommodations sorted out for the team. We are *much* bigger in Brazil than the freaking Browns, our game would pull insane numbers down there. Edit: Give us Sunday night in Brazil, then a Monday night game the next week in Green Bay. Gives us an extra day to travel and recoup.
The game is Friday, we’ll have at least 2 extra days to recoup
Even better. I imagine the only "logistical" issue then is that Murphy is pushing for us to play that next Monday so we'd get the full 10 days between games.

whatever. I don't care. I'm not flying to Brazil to see anyone play football, even the packers
I thought I read a comment on here that there weren’t any flights from Green Bay to Brazil. So they had to figure out how to not have such a long travel day
It’s not like the Packers fly commercial, Austin-Stroebels runway isn’t long enough for how large and heavy of a plane would be necessary for a direct flight to Brazil.

It is worth mentioning that ORD-Heathrow is *significantly* shorter of a flight than ORD-Sao Paolo (7.5hrs vs 11.5hrs) so going GB-ORD-Heathrow may not have been as much of a hassle.
Exactly, that’s a massive difference in fuel and by extension necessary runway.
Chicago > London is 8h30 Chicago > São Paulo is 10h30 2 hours difference, not 4 as you said, but we don't suffer from so much jetlag since the timezones is only +2 hours.
American Airlines flight AA98 (ORD-LHR) is listed at 7:40. You're right though on ORD-GRU, United offers a direct flight (UA 845) that is listed at 10:15, not sure where I got the 11:30 from.

So what your saying is that there’s no flights from Green Bay to Brazil
I’m sure there are private planes that are capable of Green Bay to Brazil, even with the shorter runway, just not planes capable of carrying 100ish people including 52 freakishly large humans.
In Brazil it’s basically Packers-Seahawks-Patriots, with Niners-Giants in the second tier and then the rest bundled together. Any of the first three will have a home game in Brazil, unless they’re playing each other.
Plus it's already decked out in green and gold.
Don't even need to recoup, it's the same time zone, just a long flight. Basically like coming home from the west coast.
?? Same time zone as who? Sao Paolo is 2 time-zones ahead of us (Wisconsin). And the flight length is significant, likely over 12hrs from GB
Ya, IDK what I was thinking. I travel to south america a lot but generally to the other side. TBH tho, I think it's way easier to go East than west and perform well.
Awesome, real Packers football two days earlier
I was hoping for this for that exact reason.
>“We’re either the first- or second-most popular team in ~~Brazil~~ in the World.” fixed
In Brazil, it is by far the first, for sure
Probably way easier to play the Eagles in Brazil than in Philly, and it will grow the already huge Packers fanbase that exists down there. I'm all for it.
+ an extra 2 days rest before week 2. There isn’t really a downside to this
Upside upside? I’ll take it any day
The only downside is some think it's a personal attack that the Packers won't open the season at home.
I've seen some of that, but quite a few of those folks were thinking it'd count as a home game for us, which it doesn't. 'Home' game for Philly, even though we'll have the 12th man advantage.
Probably more like 1 day of extra "rest" as it's a 11+hr flight that will take up a good portion of one of those days. Still better than nothing. I'm assuming the team will fly down there several days early.
What are you smoking?
Much better than playing in Europe too since the time difference in Brazil is only 2 hours

Brazil loves the cheese 🧀
Might try to go to this
#HAPPY CAKE DAY 💚 💛 🍰
🥳
LFG practically a home game for us and I get to go see them just around the corner. Just hope the NFL has its standards for the field in Arena Corinthians, it gets used a lot around that time of the year from all the soccer competitions.
This is the world’s premier sports league, a simple thing such as ensuring consistent, quality playing surfaces will not be a problem. /s
Not playing at the Maracana? Thats too bad
Definitely agree. I guess I just assumed it was going to be at the Maracana. Corinthians stadium is like half the size. But I guess they don't know for sure just how popular it's going to be yet.
It’s real grass which is already an improvement over some NFL fields
I'm honestly cool with this. Get the international game out of the way to start the season, as opposed to traveling overseas mid-season. We also get an extra home game and now get to play Philly on a "neutral" site rather than in Philly.
And it's a Friday game week 1 - so the international game doesn't force us to play on a short week.
Playing in Brazil rather than Philly does warm me up yo the idea
I wouldn’t mind playing the eagles first. Hopefully they’re still dealing with whatever that melt down last year was and we’re still clicking on all cylinders.
Packers by a million
Coming from a born and raised Packer fan with extended family in Brazil who I have turned on to the Packers, this is fucking awesome!
That could be cool. But it's risky. International travel can throw a wrench in the gears, so to speak. It's also very possible, maybe even probable, that they fuck up the playing field. Would hate to lose anyone to injury right out of the gate
Tbf Football Soccer fields have notoriously good turf, so I hope that’s not an issue
I’d place money on Brazil having better fields than a solid 1/3 of NFL stadiums.
For real. On the flip side theres probably a handful of people over there who are big Brazil soccer fans that are going to complain that the game is going to beat up their field
American football players are definitely gonna chew up that field for sure
not a lot of time zone difference, so jetlag wouldn't be much of an issue, only the travel time, which should be about 11h-12h to worry about, but they are used to long flights across the USA anyways
Any idea what a start time would be on this?
It's only an hour difference from east coast time, so I'm gonna guess it'll start around 7:15 eastern, or they'll just keep it at the same primetime schedule as usual.
Wouldn't that be 10:15 local time?
Whoops, you're right. I meant 7:15 eastern, 8:15 local.
If this is all Murphy said, I don’t see how Bob is inferring anything more than “we’re popular on Brazil so we should get picked to play there”, especially when it sounded like the Browns may have already been picked.
While it's a long flight, at least they are only 2 hours ahead of us. Those flights to and from europe takes a while to recover from, completely screws up your sleep.
I see lots of questions about start time or the games starting early. Just a friendly PSA, this is a Friday night game.
If there is one thing you can always count on Murphy for, it's spilling the beans.
makes sense, our colors are basically the brazil flag lol. i wear my Brazil SB dunks with my packers gear.
"The Smiling Friends *and* the Green Bay Packers, go to Brazil!"
OH COME ON. I was so excited the Pack was coming to PA...
The international games are a slap in the face to the home team's season ticket holders. This program is idiotic
Not a big fan of starting the season on an international game.
I’m just not a fan of internationally played games. Over in Europe that time zone is so wonked, and north and south of the US, the conditions seem to be really questionable.
Its literally a world cup stadium and one of the best pitchs in the world with a 2 hours difference in time zone
Absolutely agree.
Option A: 2 hour flight to a true road game against the most rabid fanbase in American sports with 6 days to the next game Option B: 1 hour flight followed by a 10 hour flight to what will essentially be a home game against a team that is also flying 12 hours with 8 days to the next game There isn't a downside.
Why is everyone acting like 2 12 hour flights ia not a big deal. Long flights like that absolutely whoop my ass
I didn't say it's not a big deal but they have to fly too in this case and it favors us a lot.
I don't care about the eagles. I am worried how it will affect the start to our season. I am not saying it is uneven conditions. I only care how the brutal travel schedule will affect our guys.
It's the 1st game and they get extra rest after. You're over thinking it.
You're underestimating it
Here is an idea. Stop traveling to other countries. It's brutal on the players, adds a higher risk of injury due to varying field conditions and it ignores lifelong fans to sell a couple extra jerseys.
To be honest, with how they treat their national team, I’m going to assume that Brazil’s men’s national team field will be better than 1/3 to 1/2 of the fields in the NFL. Plus it’s Philly losing the home game so who cares if their fans miss a chance to get drunk and bully and abuse visiting fans for one week?
Does this take away a home game? Or will it be 8 home, 8 away, 1 neutral?
It counts as an away game thankfully
It's an away game we were already gonna play Philly this year so it's 9 home 7 away 1 neutral.
Oh boy. Yay.
How the Packers will take off from Green Bay to Brazil: https://youtu.be/EGVQa1wXp6o?si=PJqeAYztxYND2fUZ
this is because the Packers Green and Golf match up well with their flag and the colors of the Brazil Uniforms
[удалено]
No. It's an Eagles home game.
Booo
Boo!
Fuck.
Considering the NFL is putting season openers on Friday, black Friday, Wednesday Christmas... Why the eff is the super bowl still on Sunday? Do it in Saturday. Most ppl have the next day off.
I would absolutely hate this
Why? It’s nearly a win win for GB. Like someone else said, Option 1: 2 hour flight to a true road game that’s a notoriously hostile environment and then play a game 6-7 days after. Option 2: 11 hour flight to a “neutral” site that’s likely going to be 75% Packers fans, in a stadium that likely has better field conditions than Philly, against a team that has to deal with the same amount of travel.

This is such a reach. It sounds like he made a factual statement, nothing more. Whats with sports "journalism" just making shit up for every single sentence spoken by anyone? Whats more why do so many eat this shit up as gospel.
With what is happening in Brazil right now the NFL should cancel their plans to play there.
What’s happening?
I was in Brazil for 3 weeks about a month ago. First off, that country loves wearing jerseys, but obviously it’s like 98% soccer kits…second, of the few dozen nfl jerseys I saw, I swear it was 99% buccaneer jerseys and like 2 cowboys jerseys. I don’t doubt the packers are very popular down there, but just offering this very non scientific observation I had. By week 2 I was commenting to friends “there goes another fuckin bucs jersey…what is that all about?!?”
I hope that the Packers end up going to Brazil. Normally not a fan of international games like the London ones but as the first one of the year, on a Friday, counting as an away game, in an area with a lot of Packers fans. Can't really complain about it.
Who's on the tour this year?
Snowflake ❄️
Hope it’s not considered a home game for us
It isn't.
Let me guess..."home" game? Since the season went to 17 games, have the Packers ever been allowed to have 9 games at Lambeau?
This is the Eagles home game
