Packers Calendar: U.S. Coast Guard Helicopter Flyover

The flyover will accompany the national anthem, which will be performed by the University of Wisconsin Marching Band.

The Green Bay Packers take on the Carolina Panthers at noon CT on Sunday at Lambeau Field, televised on Fox.

Just prior to the game kicking off, a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter flyover will accompany the national anthem, performed by the University of Wisconsin Marching Band and sung by a member of Very Special Arts Wisconsin.

The University of Wisconsin Marching Band will also provide the halftime entertainment, perform their traditional "Fifth Quarter" entertainment and play in the stadium concourses and seating areas during the game.

Lambeau Field's parking lot will open at 8:00 a.m. with gates to the stadium opening at 10:00 a.m.

Prior to the game, the Packers Women's Association will be holding their 28th annual food drive in partnership with Paul's Pantry in Green Bay.

PWA members and Paul’s Pantry volunteers will collect non-perishable food items and cash donations in the stadium parking lot and at the gates. Each PWA member will be wearing a PWA jersey or button. Food items can be placed in bins located throughout the Lambeau Field parking lot.

As an added incentive to donate to the drive, fans have an opportunity to win Packers autographed items. For every $5 donation or five non-perishable food items contributed, a fan will receive a ticket stub. The winning ticket numbers will be drawn and announced on the scoreboard during the game. Fans with the winning ticket stubs can pick up their item at the guest services desk in the Lambeau Field Atrium.

At 10:30 a.m. former Packers offensive lineman Fuzzy Thurston will appear at the Tundra Tailgate Zone inside the parking lot signing autographs, while Jerry Kramer will appear inside the Club Level of the stadium at the same time.

The in-stadium giveaway will be sunglasses.

After the game, press conferences with Packers head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterback Aaron Rodgers will stream live on the team's official website between approximately 3:30 and 4:00 p.m.

Finally, WBAY-TV channel 2 in Green Bay will welcome a player guest for its Sunday Sports Night Cover 2 show at 10:35 p.m.
