Green Bay, Wis. (WFRV) - Green Bay Packers Fans flocked to Lambeau Field for the team's welcome back luncheon on Wednesday.

  A tradition dating back to the Vince Lombardi era, it's an opportunity to sit with players and coaches over lunch as Head Coach Mike McCarthy shares his forecast on the upcoming season.

  Mike Witte of the Green bay Area Chamber of Commerce says it's always a mystery as to which member of the green and gold will be sitting where.

  "People don't know if they're getting an offensive player a defensive player, a coach," he says. "Someone is going to end up with Aaron Rodgers sitting at their table."
