We’ve sorted through dozens of articles about the Packers’ latest news, game results, rosters, rumors and other info that’s important to the team and to you. Check it out! By CHEESEHEAD TV By Rex.sheild If you ever need proof that NFL is king, look no further than the hype surrounding the annual schedule release broadcasted live on NFL Network Thursday night. What came about from said schedule release for the Green Bay Packers? Well, nothing new because Matt Schneidman of The Athletic leaked the team’s entire schedule Thursday morning. That saved me a lot of time, so I extend my gratitude to him. At any rate, the Green Bay Packers will open up the 2023 regular season, head coach Matt LaFleur’s fifth year at the helm and Jordan Love’s first year as QB1, against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field at 3:25 pm CST on FOX. Will Love begin the process of owning the Bears just like his predecessor owned them for almost two decades? The Packers will also close the regular season against the Bears. No Aaron Rodgers, no problem in the eyes of the television networks as Green Bay will play five prime-time games – two at home and three on the road – throughout the 2023 season (pending any late-season flexes): Week 4 (09/28) at home against the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football; Week 5 (10/09) on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football; Week 13 (12/03) at home against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football; Week 14 (12/11) on the road against the New York Giants; and Week 17 (12/31) on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers will also play on Thanksgiving Day against the Lions, coming off a game against the Los Angeles Chargers, for the first time since the 2013 season. (Of note, the Packers play both games this season against Detroit on short weeks.) That season, the Packers got smoked like a turkey, 40-10. The last time the Packers played on Thanksgiving Day (2015) resulted in a deflating 17-13 loss to the Bears, the night that the franchise retired Brett Favre’s number. As Schneidman pointed out, Green Bay will not play a 2022-23 playoff team until Week 8, when they host the Vikings. The Packers’ bye week is Week 6. Among the squad’s first six games, only two are at home. Arguably Green Bay’s toughest stretch is from Week 7 until Week 14 as they play four teams that made the playoffs last year. I also expect the Broncos (Week 7), Rams (Week 9), and Steelers (Week 10) to be better in 2023 than they were in 2022. Additional Nuggets The Packers have the ninth-easiest strength of schedule based on their opponents’ 2022 win percentage (.476), and the easiest in the NFC North, according to NFL Research (h/t Andrew Siciliano). Green Bay will travel 11,956 miles throughout the 2023 season, the second-least amount in the NFL, according to Bill Speros (h/t Adam Schefter). The Packers will play every team in the NFC South in 2023, just like they did in 2020. That season, they went 3-1, with the lone loss being to Tom Brady & Co. in Week 6. The Packers will also play every team in the AFC West in 2023. The team did the same in 2019, going 3-1. Green Bay will travel to Pittsburgh for the first time since 2017 to face off against the Steelers in Week 10. LaFleur will greet his old boss, Sean McVay and the Los Angeles Rams, in Week 9 at Lambeau Field. It will be the fourth matchup between the two teams in the last three seasons (2020-21 Divisional Round, 2021 Week 12, and 2022 Week 15). The three prior matchups resulted in a victory for the good guys. All four major sportsbooks have the team’s over/under win total at 7.5. Give me the over for a 10-7 record. What do you think the Packers’ record will be in 2023? Rex is a lifelong Packers fan but was sick of the cold, so he moved to the heart of Cowboys country.

"Kudos to Amy for making sure that the tickets to the tailgate party were waiting for me at the reception desk! Your personal phone call and text messages went above and beyond customer satisfaction! I can't wait for the 2024 season, rest assured that my go-to Packer's game supplier will be Event USA for a long time.
-Jean-Pierre Mallette, Montréal, Canada
"Thank you so much Cathy, greatly appreciate your help.
As always, EventUSA has been awesome to deal with in booking the Lodge Kohler package for the Tampa Bay Game,
particularly for me traveling from Sydney, Australia, it takes the stress out of the booking process. "

"Good Morning, Nicole - Everything you did turned out great. The seats were great. Access to the air conditioned club lounge was great. Lots of Packers fans in the club lounge and overall at the stadium. The tailgate party at the fancy restaurant in the hotel was fabulous. The servers just kept on bringing out different sliders and desserts. Good thing that I got in a 30-minute run along the river in the morning. So, thank you! You may be speaking with me in November if I can work out getting up to Green Bay for a game. It's been too long since my last time.
One of the best aspects of this weekend was interacting with so many people from Wisconsin and learning their personal stories of things Packers. And we even met a couple from St. Petersburg, Florida (my home county) and were able to tell them about the Varsity Club tavern and Packers bar in Clearwater where Mark Murphy's mother is in attendance -- very nice lady whose retirement home is in Clearwater, which borders my little city of Dunedin. Pre-COVID, I always went to the Varsity when the Packers games weren't televised locally -- lots of Wisconsin natives there, too + they serve brats and sauerkraut during Packers games. I'm glad that you are working for Event USA.

"Dennis - I was blessed to join Amy and some of your customers at the Morton's tailgate as well as after the game. She does an amazing job for you. Every single customer I met praised Event USA for being able to arrange the hotel and tickets and fabulous tailgate party in such a quick time. Having been to some great tour tailgate parties in Jacksonville and Kansas City and old San Francisco, a lot can be said of the long-term benefit of having really great tailgate parties. Morton's was probably one of the best - amazing food, patio sitting on the riverfront, walk to stadium, open bar!!! It was first class fun!!!"
-Matt
"Hi Amy-
Just wanted to say thank you for making Jacksonville happen! We had a wonderful time and looking forward to more Packers games with Event USA in the future!
Even though the game was not what we expected- we are packers fans for life-lol!
Go pack go!!"
-Julie Mastrianni
"I want to thank Event USA and in particular Amy Flores for the Jacksonville trip. We have used you before and always were very pleased with the packages you have set up and your service.
My son who lives in Charleston, SC and myself who lives in Minnesota, decided we needed to do a guys trip and decided to go through your company to see the opener in New Orleans. I initially called and talked with Amy about some questions I had and booked our trip. After itinerary and info was emailed to us, it soon became apparent that the trip to New Orleans wouldn’t happen. In steps Amy, wondering if we would be interested in Dallas if the game was moved there and a package was set up. Then finally the move to Jacksonville and continued communication from Amy on our interest. It was getting late at that point and I was wondering if she would be able to pull off setting up a package in Jacksonville. She did it.
We went to Jacksonville and had a great time. The accommodations and the tail gate were fabulous. If only the Packer team we were hoping for had made the trip.
Thank you Event USA and in particular Amy Flores."

"Thank you for all your help. I had a great time at the Packer-Raider game opening day. I have already begun telling interested Packer fans in Sacramento about your service. The next time I come to Green Bay for a game, I’ll be sure to ask for your help. God bless you and God bless the Green Bay Packers."
-Frank Chavez, Sacramento
"I just wanted to say that I had such a great time. The whole weekend was so much fun. I enjoyed the Player Autograph Party and the tailgate party was just the best. After coming from a country that loves soccer, it was nice to mix with people who have the same interests as me. Thank you once again, Green Bay is one very special place."
-Beverley Moore, Lancaster
"My accommodations at the Best Western Midway were excellent. I was picked up at the airport and returned promptly. No problems at all. Your representative at the hotel on game day was very pleasant and helpful. The tailgate party was super, great food, great drinks and lots of fun. Obviously, Lambeau Field and the game itself was great. I will continue to use Event USA in the future, and I will definitely tell anyone who I come across to give you a call. One last thing, the hospitality I experienced in Green Bay was incredible. I have traveled to many places, and I don’t think there are more friendly people than the people of Green Bay. Thank you again and see you next year!"
-David Anastas, Worchester
"My wife and I booked the tour to Tampa. The trip was so well organized from start to finish. It started with the people in the office with their friendly help over the phone, to receiving the tickets in the mail, and meeting the tour guides with their upbeat personalities. Signs guided us in the airport and information was posted in our motel lobbies to keep us posted. Your people had everything in order. Talk about organization, you had it. Event USA made this a most memorable trip. Thanks for all involved."
-Dick Koerner, Neenah
"I wish to convey my sincere thanks and gratitude for providing my husband and I with, what he refers to as the greatest experience of my life, apart from my wedding day."
-Lara and Matt Appleton, Thornhill, Ontario
"Thanks for all your help, the great tickets and service, and the chance to help me make one of my son’s dreams come true, seeing the Packers playing at home in Lambeau Field."
-Sam Jones, Sedalia
"I just want to thank you for the wonderful job your staff did last weekend for the Packers vs. Lions game. This was our first time utilizing your program and we were not disappointed at all. In fact, we can’t wait to schedule and event for next season’s games. From my first experience with your staff placing my order until the very end at checkout of the hotel, everything was perfect. You truly out-do yourselves to please everyone. Thanks again for making our stay in Green Bay one of the best."
-Kim Ewing and Bruce DeMaine, Ann Arbor
"Thanks so much for the best weekend ever! You not only got us in all the Magazines, TV, WWW pages and even the big screen at Lambeau Field, but Disney World on the side? Nice job – You and your family are top notch – we were on the best tour for the Super Bowl! Seeing the Green Bay Packers win back the Lombardi Trophy was a life long dream of this Packer fan, and you all were so dedicated to the job of taking care of us that, like the Packers, we were a winning team! Keep me on your list."
-William D Lorge, Representative to the Wisconsin State Assembly
