Packers seek fewer shovelers to clear Lambeau Field after less snow forecast
Natalie BrophyGREEN BAY – Shovelers are still needed at Lambeau Field Sunday morning before the Packers playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Even though there won't be as much snow in Green Bay as meteorologists originally forecast, the team still needs fans' help to prepare the stadium for the NFC divisional playoff game. Around an inch of snow is expected to fall Saturday night on Green Bay. Forecasts earlier in the week called for nearly a foot of snow.
The team is asking for 350 shovelers to show up at Lambeau Field at 6 a.m. Sunday. The team put out a call Thursday for 700 people to show up to help.
People interested in shoveling may report to the Fleet Farm Gate on Lambeau's west side, where temporary parking will be available in Lot 6. People must remove their vehicles after shoveling is done.
All shovelers will need to go through metal detectors before entering the stadium. No bags, backpacks or purses will be allowed inside to make entrance easier.
Helpers must be at least 18 years old and will be paid $12 per hour. Payment will be ready immediately after people complete shoveling. Shovels will be provided.
