Packers get back in the win column against the Bengals
Pete Dougherty joins Dominique Yates to recap the Packers’ 27-18 win over the Bengals.
Packers Everywhere will host a free pep rally Saturday before the Arizona Cardinals game.
The pep rally is scheduled for 6 p.m. Oct. 18 at Loco Patron Brewery, 14950 N. Northsight Blvd., Scottsdale, Arizona. Scheduled to appear are Packers alumni James Jones, Nick Barnett and Robert Brooks. A roundtable discussion between Packers.com’s Wes Hodkiewicz and Mike Spofford, as well as Packers alumnus and Packers Radio Network sideline analyst John Kuhn, will conclude the event., which will include photo opportunities, Packers giveaways and music and entertainment provided by a local DJ.
The free event is first-come, first-served. If maximum capacity is reached, no more fans will be allowed to enter until space opens up.
Another pep rally will be in Denver on Dec. 13.
State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, is domed, so conditions will be good for the game. Outside, the forecast calls for sunny skies and a high temperature of 86 degrees.
State Farm Stadium is in Glendale, a suburb of Phoenix, 20 miles northwest of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
For fans using rideshare services, the preferred drop-off and pickup spot is the Black Lot located south of State Farm Stadium.
State Farm Stadium is 1,868 miles from Lambeau Field, about a 28-hour drive.
State Farm Stadium is ranked 13th among NFL stadiums by USA TODAY and 16th by Sports Illustrated.
“On the outside, it’s one of the more outlandishly designed stadiums in the league. But once you walk inside, it’s almost a bit underwhelming how generic and stripped down the concourses are … The stadium is better known for hosting classic Super Bowls and college games than it is for anything related to the Cardinals. It’s a fine stadium, but there’s room for improvement with the venue and its disastrous playing surface,” Andrew Joseph wrote for USA Today.
State Farm Stadium, like Lambeau Field, is cashless.
Parking lots open four hours before kickoff. Gates open two hours before the 1:25 p.m. (local time) kickoff.
The lowest average get-in price as calculated by the Green Bay Press-Gazette for this game dropped $43 during the last week to $157. The price on Sept. 15 was $230 but fell steadily during the intervening weeks.
The game will be broadcast on Fox at 3:25 p.m., Central time, Oct. 19. Kenny Albert will do play-by-play, with Jonathan Vilma as analyst and Jen Hale as sideline reporter.
The game will be viewable across the upper Midwest and in most of Arizona. On Fox, the rest of the country will see Dallas and Washington.
Packers games can be heard on the Packers Radio Network, which includes 54 stations in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, North Dakota and South Dakota.
The Packers announced this week that the radio network will get a new flagship station, WRIT-Milwaukee, 95.7 BIG FM. Owner iHeart Radio is switching current flagship station, WRNW-Milwaukee, 97.3 The Game, to an all-music format. Both stations will broadcast the next two Packers games as part of the transition to 95.7 WRIT. There are no changes to other stations in the network.
Wayne Larrivee does play-by-play and two-time Packers Pro Bowler Larry McCarren provides analysis. That will not change.
The radio broadcast will be streamed at Packers.com. The Packers mobile app will stream the radio broadcast within the Packers’ home market, per NFL broadcast restrictions. Fans within the Packers’ local home marketing area can watch the game on Packers.com.
The Phoenix metro area is 7.6 million people to Green Bay’s 328,268. Green Bay’s metro area, which includes Brown, Oconto and Kewaunee counties, is the smallest in the NFL.
