GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- With snow expected Friday night, the Green Bay Packers put out a call for volunteer shovelers to turn out Saturday morning and help clear the stands at Lambeau Field in preparation for Sunday's game with Houston.

A similar call Thursday drew 300 people for the shoveling duty. The volunteers are paid $8 an hour, which is paid as soon as they're done working.

Shovels are provided.
