‘Packed’ Friday night: Northern Wisconsin HS football games clash with Green Bay’s NFL opener

The NFL schedule release has created excitement for fans across the country and even the world, a progression that continues to highlight the league’s dominance. However, some of the expansion has introduced a bit of detailed torment for high school football in northern Wisconsin.

It begins with history in South America.

Green Bay’s 2024 opener is on September 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles in Sao Paola, Brazil.

It’s the first-ever NFL game in South America and the first meeting between the two NFC teams since 2022 when the Eagles won 40-33 at Lincoln Financial Field.
