The Packers Are Holding Open Tryouts

By Chris Mottram
Well, that’s probably misleading.
Let’s try this again. The Packers are holding open tryouts to be a snow shoveler. That’s more accurate.

Green Bay (and the midwest in general), received its first major snow fall of the season over the weekend and they need help shoveling it out for the Packers game on Sunday:
[quote="Packers.com"]With last weekend’s snowfall, the Green Bay Packers are putting out the “help wanted” call to help with snow removal from Lambeau Field.
The Packers will provide shovels to all who come to help.
Shovelers, who need to be at least 15 years old, will receive $8 per hour, with payment to be made immediately upon completion of their work.[/quote]
It’s amazing that they are offering to pay these people. Packers fans would probably shovel the snow out with their bare hands for free for the chance to be inside the stadium. But, if they’re really going to insist on paying, I’d think booze would be a more welcomed compensation. I’ll have to double-check, but I’m fairly certain that 15 is the legal drinking age in Green Bay.
