Packers fans were invited to bring the spirit of Green Bay to the Tampa area a day early with a Packers Everywhere pep rally at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24.

The festivities took place at Whiskey Joe’s Bar & Grill in Tampa, located at 7720 W Courtney Campbell Causeway, Tampa, Fla.

Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy took part in the pre-gameday excitement by greeting fans and participating in a Q-and-A session with Packers Everywhere host, Rebecca Zaccard. Packers alumni Nick Collins and Mike Butler were in attendance to socialize and take photos with fans and shared their thoughts on the next day’s game against the Buccaneers.

A roundtable discussion with Packers.com’s Wes Hodkiewicz and Mike Spofford concluded the event.
