My story is not bright and colorful, but I will share it. I am 73 years old and have been a Packers fan since I was 10. Never could afford nor get tickets to a game. I drove up to Green Bay to see the new field the summer it was completed. My birthday is on January 8th and for my birthday last year my son got tickets to the Packers vs. Bears game the day after New Years. He and I attended a tailgate party before the game and I cannot tell you how great the people were to us. I know that I will never be able to make it back to another game, but these memories will be locked in my mind for the rest of my life.

I live in The Bay Islands, a small set of islands off the North shore of Honduras in the Caribbean. Utila is the name of my small island, where there are 4 Packers fans. Our neighboring island of Roatan (23 miles away) has a number of good friends of mine who are Bear fans. We try to get together as much as we can for Pack/Bear games....Nothing like a big flat screen on the beach with the sun going down in the distance. Go Packers!

I think I'm the only fan in my country. I'm from the Republic of San Marino, the smallest and oldest republic in the world. 33,000 citizens and 1 PACKERS fan.

I was born in Poland and now live in the Chicago suburbs. When I was on my first date with my now fiancé, he asked me why am I a Packers fan. I began to tell him that my favorite colors are green and yellow, and he laughed and asked me to name a couple Packers players. I looked him right in the eyes and asked if he wanted defense or offense.

Last Christmas when visiting a friend and her family in Wisconsin I had my first experience of watching American football or more importantly the Green Bay Packers. On January 2, 2011 they outfitted me with Packers gear: t-shirt, hat, beads (and lots of warm clothes) and we headed off to Lambeau Field.

I am a huge Packers fan. So much so that I not only got married in my pink Rodgers jersey, but put off my honeymoon to see the Packers play in this year's Super Bowl. My husband and I got married on Feb. 4, and were offered a cruise (compliments of his Mom). I said, "No way, I will not miss watching my favorite team play (and win) the Super Bowl." I was from Norfolk, Nebraska, but in May we moved to Birmingham, Alabama. I run into Packers fans here all the time. Last year my husband took me to Green Bay for the opening pre-season game. It was a dream come true. GO PACK GO.

I married into the Packers fan family almost 10 years ago and haven't looked back since. My in-laws have a basement of green and gold memorabilia and when my husband and I bought our "forever home" we started our own green and gold basement. Last season my husband Bobby and I proudly watched every game we could but religiously wore our jerseys regardless every Sunday. I was too afraid to wash them for fear of the luck running out of them in the washing machine. So when they won the Super Bowl I knew I was gonna have to invest in Tide To Go pens and Febreze to get us through the next season. So far it's been a Febreze smelling season on Sundays!

For the past seven years my family and I have lived outside the US: five years in Shanghai and now in Singapore. I have raised my daughters to be true Packers fans. Each summer when we return to the US we make time to visit Green Bay and Lambeau Field. Also, as we are 12 hours ahead, the girls took off school for Super Bowl 45 and we celebrated with brats. We keep the tradition alive!

I was born in Montana and was right then and there a Packers fan. It is in my blood. I wear some kind of Packers gear every day to school - even if it is just a necklace, I still wear it.

I've followed the Packers through tours in Iraq, Yemen and am now in Perth, Australia. No matter where I was or how bad the location was there was always a Green Bay Packers memorabilia item within the office. Sometimes the Internet bandwidth is so bad we can't even listen to the radio broadcasts on the Internet and end up watching the ESPN play by play with no sound. But I never give up following the Packers no matter where this life takes me. GO PACK GO.
