GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Verizon is hosting the largest, simultaneous Super Bowl watch party ever across 30 NFL cities, with a special event in Green Bay at the iconic Lambeau Field.
The Verizon Super Bowl FanFest, which has now reached full capacity, gives Packers fans a unique opportunity to watch the big game in the Lambeau Atrium and on the club level.

Fans can also enjoy game-day food, interactive games, and live music to pump up the crowd.
Packer great Randall Cobb will serve as the evening host and be available for interviews.
Reflecting on his time with the Packers, Cobb shared, “To be back in Lambeau, it’s been a while since I’ve been back here, and being able to look down and see snow on the field makes me feel like I’m right back at home.”
Cobb, who spent a decade with the team, expressed his gratitude for his time in Green Bay, “I’ve spent a decade here, and really some of my formative years were here. And being able to be a part of this organization I’m so thankful for. As I look back on my career and to know I’ve been able to spend time in such a special place is always something that is going to stick with me.”
Despite his deep connection to the team, Cobb was never able to win a Super Bowl during his tenure. “Unfortunately, I was never able to play in this game and bring the Lombardi back home like I wanted to. It’s really difficult. I was close a lot of the times with teams that I played with but we never got through that threshold.”
Looking ahead to this year’s matchup, Cobb noted the impressive run of the Kansas City Chiefs. “When you look at Kansas City, who’s looking at their third consecutive title, it’s pretty incredible. And Philly, obviously they won it a few years ago and were in it a couple of years ago, and playing again now for a Super Bowl is really special.”
Could the Packers make a Super Bowl run next year? Cobb remains hopeful: “Could you see the Packers in this position next year? I hope so! I hope so. I already know Coach Lafleur and all the guys. I love and continue to cheer for the Packers and like I said, this is a special place for me, it always has been and it always will be.”

Matt Breska, a longtime Packers fan from Kaukauna, shared his excitement about the event. “My buddy actually won tickets to it and offered it to me because we’ve been tailgating almost 15 years out here at Lambeau,” Breska said. “Being a Packers fan, you obviously want the Packers there. Personally, I would not like the Chiefs to win a third Super Bowl in a row because it gets a little old seeing the same team win all the time.”
While not a fan of the Eagles, Breska noted the success of Saquon Barkley with the team. “I’m not an Eagle fan per se either, but it’s nice to see Saquon Barkley go to a team and do really well.”
With fans like Breska attending, the Verizon Super Bowl FanFest at Lambeau promises to be an unforgettable event for Packers fans, celebrating both the love for their team and the excitement of the biggest game of the year.
