Lambeau Field gate sponsored by Shopko
Wisconsin’s Green Bay Packers have announced that local retailer Shopko will enhance its long-term relationship with the Packers and Lambeau Field by sponsoring the new south end gate, which will be named the Shopko Gate and will be operational for the 2013 season. The opening of the Shopko Gate further extends the partnership between the two organisations, building upon a longstanding relationship that has been in place for more than 20 years.
“We are very pleased to have our longtime partner Shopko enhance their relationship with the Packers through the Shopko Gate,” says Packers president/CEO Mark Murphy. “We share a lot of history here in the Green Bay area, along with a deep commitment to the community. Shopko has been a great team mate to the Packers and we look forward to having thousands of fans enter Lambeau Field on gameday and for other events through this exciting new gate.”
The two organisations have partnered on a variety of activities throughout their 20-plus year relationship, including teaming up to create Packers-themed store displays featuring specially selected merchandise from some of the store’s biggest brands for each of the team’s home games. Shopko is also the exclusive sponsor of the ‘Kickoff Kid’ contest which gives children 12 and younger the chance to win the opportunity to retrieve the kicking tee from the field after the game’s opening kickoff, and receive four game tickets.
