Aaron Rodgers: Slash beer prices to get fans as loud as possible

Aaron Rodgers wants lower beer prices and louder fans at Lambeau Field.

Rodgers said that for the fans to support the Packers while the defense is on the field, making beer cheap might be the answer.

“I’m up for anything that’s gonna get the fans as loud as possible,” Rodgers said. “Maybe slash some beer prices or something, would be a good idea.”

Domestic beers were selling for $8.25 for a 16-ounce can at Lambeau Field last year. If Rodgers succeeds in his campaign to get those prices down, he’ll become even more popular in Green Bay.

  2. He was half joking of course and said this after being asked about the utter mistake foghorn that used on 3rd downs during the Packers vs. Texans preseason game last week.

    I’d be in support of the slashing of beer prices, but I certainly hope the foghorn is long gone.

  10. As a Packers fan, how about we get back to our winning ways. The crowd noise will follow, especially with this current D. Lead the way Aaron!

  12. xxakshunxx says: Teams should slash salaries so the tickets are cheaper to get more fans in the stadiums

    The owners would pocket the money before extending it to the fans.

  13. If that’s what Aaron wants, he could easily afford to buy the first 80,000 fans in the door their first beer to get them started.

    If Packer fans drink beer like Aaron does, one beer should last the whole game…

  17. This all goes back to that dopey foghorn the sound effects crew started blowing on Defensive 3rd downs last week.
    It was resoundingly ridiculed by Packer fans at the stadium, on social media, and talk radio throughout the week. It was a mistake, one I hope wont be repeated in the future.
    It’s as dumb and annoying as the one the Vikings employ at their cookie cutter palace, and no team, especially one with the historical significance of the Green Bay Packers, needs that.
    Matt LaFleur wants a loud stadium, he already has one packed to the rafters with willing fans every Sunday, play good football, it’ll get loud. I guarantee it.
    As for reducing beer prices, I believe fans everywhere would rejoice.
    Especially since a few of us like to toss ’em back like David Bakhtiari.

    So what Rodgers is saying is Packer fans don’t support the Packers while the defense is on the field. 😄

  27. To follow on a earlier comment, only 8.25? heck, i can sit at home and drink 1.25 tall boys, and watch in hi def.. hmm why dont people go to physical game days. Also, on another comment, they should have paid A-Aron at the rate he could chug.. he def wouldnt be the highest paid player on the team lol

  28. Nah. Too many people act like fools who can’t handle their alcohol and there are kids around. Its uncomfortable when your with your kid at a football game and a bunch of terrible drunks acting and cursing. Just be a true fan n make some noise.

  34. Going to have to have a talk with Aaron. He cannot display HIS sense of humor from the podium. He needs to dumb it down… a lot … maybe tell a few knock-knock jokes or the old standby “Three pigs fell in the mud” type jokes for this readership to get it.

    They don’t WANT to get it. They’d rather just take potshots.

    Now that’s funny. Owners were still raising prices and getting richer way before players made a scene about being paid more. It wasn’t until players realized that regardless of how much they do a “team friendly” deal, majority of owners and GMs are too incompetent to stack their team anyway. The Packers are a perfect example. Two HOF QBs that should’ve won one or two more SBs.

  37. Great idea Aaron give the faithful packer fans a break on their beer. Slash the beer prices all over the NFL!!!

  42. Did Aaron ever stop to think that passed out Packer fans don’t make any noise?

    The problem is too much beer is sold at Lambeau Field.

    The fans might need it in order to stomach the performance on the field though.

  43. I was 11 years old when my Dad took me to a game at Lambeau. I will never forget the vile things Packer fans yelled at my Father and I for opposing colors. It was truly disgusting. But yah, let’s get these hillbilly’s even drunker.

  44. why is Rodgers giving this irresponsible advise? right now green bay will try anything to get their fans to get loud on opponents 3rd downs. Last week they were sounding a fog horn on opponents 3rd downs to alert the fans that is was an opponents 3rd down and time to get loud. true story. look it up.

    LOLOLOLOL

  45. No wonder Rodgers is saying the packer fans are pathetic! He wants them to drink more beer so they become even more dillusional!

  52. M&T Bank Stadium (Ravens) sells Miller Lite 16oz cans for $7 and 12 oz cans for $5. Want a craft beer? $8 for 16 oz. Our owner already figured that out. LOL.

    Get louder? They’re passed out by halftime as it is. Don’t believe me? Go to the aluminum bench stadium for a game.
    Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    That’s the visiting fans, not the professionals.

  54. Saying Packer fans aren’t drinking enough beer is like saying fish aren’t drinking enough water.

  55. LaFleur is new. He hasn’t even heard a regular season crowd yet. He doesn’t know what he wants, he just remembers traveling Packer fans forcing the Falcons to use a silent count, at home. Is that loud enough? He wants more if that. It’s better than pumping in fake crowd noise like the Vikings.

    I remember sitting in the Humphrey Dumphrey and hearing the crowd go nuts for something special. It was halftime. Oops! Somebody lost their job.

  56. @ravenschick

    Be a good game tonight. Should see both teams starters for a bit. I’ll be happy if both teams get some good work in and then get everyone out of it injury free.

    Don’t pay any mind to the Vikings troll/stalker posting on countless SN’s. Just scroll past all those posts in every Packers thread. Makes the site much more enjoyable.👍

    GoPackGo!🏈

    Rodgers isn’t new and he trying to find a way to get home Packer fan to be louder. At home. In Lambeau. misguided and dumb as his suggestion is it is based on his experience playing at Lambeau.

    I don’t think fish actually drink water, not freshwater fish anyway. Nearest saltwater is Hudson Bay. The expression “drinks like a fish,” doesn’t really apply here.

    Try “drinks at a championship level,” which would be accurate.

    I’ve never seen a Viking fan passed out. Not saying it never happened, but I’ve never seen it.

    But I’ve seen multiple Packer fans passed out in both Wisconsin and Minnesota.

    Last time it was in Minnesota and the pantywaist didn’t even make it to halftime. When security came up, his fellow Packer fans tried to lobby to just let him sleep it off in place.

    Security explained that either they took him out of the stadium or he was going to jail

    The whole group left (leaving many of those Miller beers nearly full).

    Evidently, in Lambeau, it must be acceptable to let all the drunks sleep it off in place.

    Is that what you mean by “professional”?

  60. I’m not sure there are enough police and jail spots in WI should beer prices be lowered in Lambeau of all places.

  61. The cut-off time for beer at Lambeau Field was implemented following a Viking game, during which Viking fans were drunk and out of control. Fact.

  62. With the cheaper prices Stella/tokyo would have his courage up and start picking fights on the aluminum benches like he does here in the comment section.

    You couldn’t see it because you were the first one, flat on your back looking at the sky after beer #3.

    I guess Packer fans drink more when they’re around their most hated rival. If Viking fans were the problem, they wouldn’t have to have a cutoff time for every game, right?

    Just the opposite. When the Packers noticed the inability of Viking fans to control themselves and act responsibly, they thought it might be best to protect all visiting fans from harming themselves. Preemptive.

  66. One of the funnest parts about reading these comments is seeing the fantasy world of how Packer fans picture themselves.
    For an accurate view of how Packer fans really are see both comment sections in Why Your Team Sucks 2019: Green Bay Packers.
    And in the meantime have sympathy for them while they try to figure out if its 3rd down and having their idol wanting them more drunk in hopes they are not as quiet during games.

    They thought it might be best to protect all visiting fans from drunken Packers fans…

    Fixed that for you.

    Common thing is Packer fans drinking to excess at all football games, HS, college or pro.

  70. People that drink the most are the most intelligent. Several studies confirm this rationalization. One study also concluded that people who abstain have the lowest IQ’s.

    Which leads me to believe Viking trolls don’t drink.
