Amazingly, nearly 61,000 spectators piled into Lambeau Field to get a first-hand look at their heroes.

Here was the good, bad and ugly from Saturday night’s practice.

THE GOOD

DIE HARDS: When it comes to fan bases, it’s tough to beat the one in Green Bay.

Packer Nation filled Lambeau Field to watch a practice — “we talking about practice” as Allen Iverson once said — on a muggy summer night where temperatures were in the low-80s throughout.

For those new to Green Bay, the idea of more than 60,000 people turning out for a practice was a bit stunning.

“How awesome are the fans here?” Green Bay’s first-year defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley said. “Showing up like that and loving the team so much, where else in the world does that happen? I love it. It’s awesome. And the players love it. They love all the energy in brings.”

Rookie safety Javon Bullard, who played before remarkably passionate fans in college at Georgia, was amazed by much of what he saw.

“We did walk-throughs and stuff in the stadium, but to see it filled up, it was amazing,” Bullard said. “Like, dreams do come true. You think of that moment since you were a little boy. Now that those moments are actually here and right in front of your face, it’s surreal, for sure.

“Tonight was only a glimpse of what Green Bay has to offer. It was my first time but I’m excited for the season.”

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said practicing in front of that many people almost serves like an extra exhibition game.

“Just the atmosphere, having that many fans come out, I think it naturally just ups the urgency,” LaFleur said. “It feels truly like a preseason game. That’s why I love it so much.

“To get all our fans in Lambeau, I think it kind of is a great opportunity for these guys to kind of get that feel without it being a real game, just so that when we get to our first preseason game, it’s not the first time they’ve been there.”

THE UGLY

THE COLOR OF MONEY: The Packers reported a record $654.1 million in revenue for the 2023-24 fiscal year. They had a profit of $60.1 million last year.

Green Bay also has $536 million in its corporate reserve fund.

The Packers’ passionate fan base will but almost anything that’s green and gold, meaning the organization almost has a license to print money.

So why charge the fans $10 to come to Lambeau for a practice?

Granted, $10 is less than a movie or a car wash these days. But on principle alone, it would be a nice gesture if a Packer organization — one with an endless stream of cash — would tell their fans “it’s on the house” just one night.

After all, it was just a practice the paying customers were watching.
