GREEN BAY- Packers backers are pumped for Thursday's preseason game against the Browns, and many have been at Lambeau Field since the parking lots opened at 3 p.m.

This parking lot has been quite the party, reports TODAY'S TMJ4's Annie Scholz.

The lot filled with people like Mary Murray and her husband Dan, gearing up for the game.

"I'm from Wisconsin, I'm a huge Packers fan and my husband is from Minnesota and I hate to say it, but he's a huge Vikings fan, but he loves me so much that he's here."

The Packers have had a special place in Mary's heart ever since she was a little girl.

"The legacy and watching it with my grandparents who are now passed away and it's a lifestyle, you just live it."

And what better place to do it, than at the home of the green and gold.

"If you're a Packer fan it's something you need to do before you die.  It's amazing, just the feeling that you have. You can't see me, I'm tearing up. It's probably good I have glasses on."
