HEY PACKER BACKERS, Chicago's #1 Packers fan event returns for another round of green and gold!

Packerpalooza 2025 will be held on Sunday, May 4th, from 12:30p-4p.

Signed and scheduled to appear this year are fan favorite and alum, Eddie Lacy (RB, #27) and the Packers 2024 breakout, offensive player of the season, Tucker Kraft (TE, #85). We can’t wait to welcome them to this wonderful city.

In addition to these two phenomenal Packers players, Will's Northwoods Inn is also welcoming to the event, Packers legendary house DJ, Dj Martee McFly, to help set the vibe for this year's festivities. We had so much fun with him last season before the Bears/Packers game we decided to bring him back. We will be featuring various Hinterland beers to get your groove on while waiting to meet these two players!

Admission for Packerpalooza 2024 is $90 per person and includes, per ticket:

FAQ’s (Frequently Asked Questions):

WHAT MAKES PACKERPALOOZA DIFFERENT THAN OTHER PLAYER SIGNING EVENTS?
Packerpalooza is a Will’s Northwoods Inn-created Packer FAN EVENT, meant to continue our reputation as one of the premier Packer bars in America, right here in the hometown of our oldest rival. The players will be available for a designated amount of time only, so enjoy yourself, but PLEASE be ultra-efficient with your time and please be mindful that there are other fans who also want to meet the players. If your side-hustle or hobby is selling autographs online, please stay home.

Our Will’s team is committed to making this an incredible event. Get here early, get your spot in line, and we will ensure maximum enjoyment!

IT USED TO BE A DIFFERENT PRICE, WHY IS THE TICKET PRICE $90?
100% of the ticket price (and then some) goes directly toward the cost of having these quality players attend, providing travel & accommodations, and staffing the event. Quality is expensive – we all know this.

WHAT CAN (AND CAN’T) I HAVE THE PLAYERS SIGN?
Any of the items for sale as an add-on with your ticket (Riddell Mini-Helmets, Riddell Full-Size Replica Helmets, Lacy and Kraft replica jerseys, Lacy and Kraft 11x14 photographs). You can also bring your own items, whether that's your favorite picture, a mini-helmet that you ordered, a Packers hat, a playing card, etc.

PLEASE NOTE: The only restriction is that players will not sign "game-used" items and any cleats or licensed jerseys. Players are permitted to sign "replica" jerseys that have their Name & Number. NO EXCEPTIONS per the players requests.

Don’t worry if you can’t bring something with you to sign. We will have 11x14 photos of the players, as well as a limited supply of Riddell mini-helmets, for purchase. These can be purchased at a discount during pre-sale when purchasing your ticket to attend. We want our attendees to have a viable option for signature-appropriate items that they will cherish forever.

PHOTOGRAPHS / PICTURE TAKING?
As a convenience to the fans, and to help save time, we have hired professional photographers (one for each player) who are positioned directly in front of the player they are assigned to, and will take a multitude of high-resolution pictures of ALL fans as they are meeting the players. We will post these photos online after the event. These photos will be available to all fans free of charge. That said, we hope you are able to enjoy your player interaction instead of worrying about that perfect pic.

WHERE DO I PURCHASE TICKETS?
There are a limited amount of tickets available and this event has sold out every year. Packerpalooza 2025 tickets are available ONLINE only through Yapsody.

CAN I BRING MY CHILD OR TEENAGER?
Absolutely! As you can see in the photos from previous years, all ages are welcome to attend the event but those under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Everyone entering the event must have a paid ticket; i.e., if a family of four wishes to participate and all expect signatures and the meet-n-greet experience, all four must have a ticket in hand, regardless of age.

CAN I BRING MY NON-PACKER FAN FRIEND(S) TO JUST SIT AT THE BAR AND DRINK?
The main bar at Will's will be open for non-event attendees to eat & drink. Space will be limited and the rest of the bar will be completely dedicated to the event. All attendees for Packerpalooza must have a paid ticket to the event, NO EXCEPTIONS! We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

WHAT PLAYERS ARE SCHEDULED TO APPEAR THIS YEAR?
Will’s is proud to welcome Green Bay Packers Tight End Tucker Kraft (#85) and alumni running back Eddie Lacy (#27). 

WILL FOOD & DRINK BE AVAILABLE?
Of Course! It’s what Will’s does best next to Wisconsin shenanigans. Join us in the bar after and keep the Sunday Funday going!
