The Packers are returning home after spending the first two weeks of the season on the road, and fans say playing at Lambeau makes a difference.

Landon Revels, a longtime Packers fan from Milwaukee, said the home atmosphere is part of what makes the team special — and he wants fans everywhere to feel welcome.

"The Packers are the only team owned by the people in all the sports so feel free to be a cheesehead. You're welcome to jump in the crowd and be part of the Lambeau leap, you know, so hopefully everybody can come around to Title Town, throwing some green and gold and have some fun this year," Revels said.

Fellow fan Jim W. agreed that being inside Lambeau on game day is an experience unlike any other.

"Oh, it, it picks up the juice, that's for sure. When you're in there, it's, it's alive," Jim W. said.

Tonight's game also features an Alumni Weekend theme, with dozens of former Packers players from different eras expected to attend.

If you're making the trip up from Milwaukee, plan ahead. The drive normally takes about 2 hours, but afternoon and evening traffic congestion — particularly near construction zones — could add time to the commute. Leaving earlier in the day is recommended.

Who's on Third is running its shuttle service to Lambeau Field on game days, with departures today at 2 p.m. — early enough to tailgate before kickoff. Shuttle tickets range from $89 to $119.

Lambeau Field's Johnsonville Tailgate Village is free and open to the public, with doors opening at 3:15 p.m.

Kickoff is set for 7:15 p.m.
