Packers fans must have heard the criticism of the home crowd at last week's loss to the Lions. With another prime time matchup coming up, this time on Monday night in Las Vegas, plenty of Green Bay diehards are making the trip from here at Austin Straubel International Airport to the road game against the Raiders.
Packers fans on their way to the Entertainment Capital of the World believe they will be well-represented at Allegiant Stadium.
"I think we're going to dominate the stadium with noise," DJ Moberg said. "Packer fans are really true; they'll follow their team anywhere."
"Of course Green Bay travels very, very well, so I'm expecting a large crowd from Green Bay," Jennifer Karnitz said.
They might be on to something — Vivid Seats' Fan Forecast projects the green and gold to make up 54% of the crowd on Monday night.
The game is also a top-five hottest Packers game ticket in almost 15 years, according to Vivid Seats. Average ticket prices for the game are around $515. The only Packers games since 2009 with a more expensive ticket were the 2011 Super Bowl win, the game in London last year, a Sunday night game in New England, and the NFC Championship in 2020.
Karnitz, who is heading to the game with friends for their annual away game trip, says it will be fun to see the new home of a former Packers star wide receiver — but she prefers the Packers win the reunion game.
"I love Davante Adams, but it's all about the Packers," Karnitz said. "Go Pack go."
The game is also projected to be the hottest ticket across the NFL this week, with that average ticket price of $515. Monday night will be the first time the Packers have ever played in Las Vegas.
