Packers Will Reportedly Play In 2016 Hall of Fame Game

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Hall of Fame officials have requested Green Bay play in the annual opening exhibition game. 

Well, with Brett going into the Hall of Fame this summer, you knew this was coming. 

McGinn has the goods.

There was little doubt that the Hall of Fame would want the Packers to play in this game. Let's just hope no one gets hurt and they're able to avoid any lightning delays

Five hours, 25 minutes for me, almost all interstate. Sounds like fun, never been to the HOF. Planning to see you there!

I guess it couldn't be avoided with Favre being inducted, but I HATE they have that extra game. If that field is anything like Heniz Field, don't let ONE starter near it, especially Jordy Nelson.

The local paper here in Canton leaked out a couple weeks ago that it would be Packers and pats. Don't know where the info came from but that is what they wrote. Hall of Fame is 3 minutes from my house haha see you all here. Oh by the way Tickets to the public will go on sale Feb 13 at 10am eastern time check out the Hall web site and good luck on getting tickets.

Great, another opportunity for our players to get injured. Just what we need. Play all the scrubs, give a new punter a shot and move on. Thanks, Since '61

My first game I attended was Packers vs Chargers in Canton in 1980. Lightning stuck the stadium and we evacuated the stands. the game was halted. I was also at the Packers /Chiefs game when the storm hit. ( ironically my son's first game)

I never figured out why they play and extra presesaon game for this. Why not just have the 2 team from the HOF game punt on the first preseason game? Do the two HOF game teams get none of the ticket money?

I believe the proceeds go to the Pro Football Hall of Fame I could be wrong...

Why Can't the NFL have the Hall of fame game, and the following week those NFL teams playing in that game get a bye? Why make those teams play 5 preseason games?

I have never understood that.
