In the sports world, Green Bay is no longer a sleepy little town in the Upper Midwest.
This year has been a big year for the city when it comes to international sports.
A soccer match between Man City and Bayern Munich will be played in Lambeau Field in less than two weeks.
More than 71,000 seats have already been sold – although some are still available.
Later this year in October the Packers will travel to London to play an NFL game against the New York Giants.
That would have been a home game.
Packers President Mark Murphy says the soccer match will help cover some of the financial losses by relocating the Giants game.
It is expected to mean $10 million for the local economy or about two-thirds of what a Packers game would bring in.
