Danbury Father + Son Make Memorable Trek to Lambeau Field for Packers Playoff Game
Above is a photo of my wife Erica’s cousins. On the left is Juan, Juan’s son JJ in the middle and Juan’s brother Javier on the right. Juan has a reserved, quiet personality, until you get him talking about football or his beloved Green Bay Packers, then he’s got a lot to say.
On Saturday (1/22/22), the Danbury residents to went to the historic Lambeau Field in Wisconsin to see Green Bay Packers take on the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs. The 49ers would topple the Packers in a wild 13-10 finish but the loss will mean little, in comparison to the memories made this past weekend.

Sports fanaticism is very rarely about sports, at the center of it, is usually family, the sport is just the activity.
P.S. - I grew up in Brewster, NY and have been a Raiders fan my whole life, so I had to ask Juan the question that everyone asks me, why the Packers? He said “I moved to the states at 6 years old from the Dominican Republic, since CT has no pro teams, I picked based on players.
Those were the days of Favre, Sterling Sharpe and Reggie White.” That is as good an answer, as any in my book, there usually isn’t much that goes into the original decision to be a fan of a team, it kind of happens.
