For the 59th year in a row Saint Norbert College in De Pere is opening up their dorms for the Green Bay Packers. On Thursday just over 100 oversized custom made beds were unloaded into Victor McCormick Hall. That's where every last member of the team will spend their nights for nearly three weeks later this month. Training camp organizers say it's a chance for veterans of the squad and the rookies who may or may not make the cut, to get to know one another in some fairly tight quarters.

"We have three video machines and ping pong tables and foosball tables and they just kind of pretend like their back in college," says Kelly Nass the Director of Packer Camp at St. Norbert College.

Saint Norbert College also provides the team with their own personal chef for their stay. We're told the typical meals consist of a lot of vegetables, omelets, stir fry meals and pasta bowls. The Packer’s will move into their temporary quarters later this month.
