Packers seek 700 snow shovelers ahead of Seahawks game Sunday

The Seattle Seahawks’ postseason matchup with the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Sunday could feature up to 10 inches of snow.

The Green Bay Packers are already looking for a little help this weekend ahead of their divisional-round matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Recent weather forecasts are now predicting a storm that could result in up to 10 inches of snow on Saturday night and the team is soliciting fans to help shovel at Lambeau Field.

According to Green Bay’s website, up to 700 shovelers are needed to help on Sunday morning. Shovelers must be at least 18 years old to participate and will be paid $12 per hour for their efforts. Free, temporary parking will be available and the Packers will provide all the necessary shovels.

 

Wintery conditions could present a significant advantage for the Packers, who are used to playing in heavy snow and cold temperatures.

Seattle coach Pete Carroll recently said the Seahawks have been preparing for the frigid weather before departing for Green Bay. For example, the Seahawks have opened the doors of their training facility to allow the chilly air to fill the building and give the players a good sense of what they can expect this weekend. Seattle also practiced outside on Thursday.

If the Seahawks emerge victorious, they will advance to the NFC Championship Game for the first time since the 2014-2015 postseason, but it will be no easy task. After all, Seattle has not won in Lambeau Field since 1999. The game will start at 3:40 p.m. PT on Sunday.
