GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- The Green Bay Packers took one last chance to say goodbye to their fans and each other. Tuesday was a final day to publicly celebrate their Super Bowl-winning season, and the Packers did it in style in front of more than 56,000 fans who paid $5 to spend a final hour with their team for the first time in 36 days.
The last time the Packers were at Lambeau Field, they beat division rival Chicago in a must-win game that propelled them to a championship run, ending with the return of the Lombardi Trophy to Titletown after 14 years with a 31-25 win over Pittsburgh on Sunday.
In the locker room, almost everything was cleared out except for a three-deep line where players claimed their game-worn Super Bowl jerseys and Super Bowl locker nameplates before heading off.
"It's a great feeling, I'm going to cherish that moment for the rest of my life," said safety Nick Collins, who returned an interception for a touchdown against the Steelers. "It's been a roller coaster ride, up and down, but our fans stuck behind us and we were able to bring the trophy back where it belonged -- Titletown."
