Green Bay, Wis.(WFRV)--Lambeau Field is starting to look a lot like Christmas.
    Crews are preparing for this weekend's Festival of Lights.
    Crews started preparations by cutting the massive tree that will grace Harlan Plaza at Lambeau Field.
    The 45-foot tall evergreen is being donated by Robert and Jenny Spice of Ashwaubenon.
    The couple says they're honored that their tree was chosen by the Green Bay Packers.
    Says Robert Spice, "My wife Jenny has relation in Jacksonville and Phoenix and Albuquerque- they're all waiting to see it on television. They can't come home for Christmas, so this is a way to be home for Christmas."
    The tree was trucked to Lambeau, where it will be decorated with more than 10-thousand lights.
    This is all leading up to the big tree lighting during the Festival of Lights - which starts Saturday night at five.
