Nashville Green Bay Packers Club

Food Drive Totals and Summer Party

2012-01-23T16:42:00.000-06:00

It took me this long just to be able to talk about the end of the season. Oh, well. We do have some good news to report on our Second Harvest Food Bank food drive. The Nashville Green Bay Packers fans really stepped up to the plate…the dinner plate, that is…

While the Packers playoff game may not have had the outcome we had hoped for, our club definitely impacted Middle Tennessee through our generosity and spirit.

Are you ready for some fabulous totals?

The Nashville Green Bay Packers Club collected 580 pounds of food and $155.89 in cash donations. In total, we provided 632 meals for the hungry in Middle Tennessee.

Here’s a great big THANK YOU to everyone who participated!

And a reminder that we will be gathering for the Nashville Green Bay Packers Club Summer Party on Saturday, June 16 in Joelton. Put it on your calendar and we'll have more details in a few weeks.

Food Drive Sunday!

2012-01-14T19:58:00.000-06:00

Hey Packer Fans!

We're hungry for another Super Bowl victory, but some folks are just plain hungry. As we cheer our team to victory in the playoffs, let's also help the needy in Nashville.

The Nashville Green Bay Packers Club and the Nashville Packer Backers-Franklin are teaming up to collect non-perishable food items for Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee during the Packers’ first playoff game on Sunday, January 15.

Please take your donations to the Scoreboard (across from Opryland), 2408 Music Valley Drive, Nashville, OR to J's Sports Grill (inside Franklin Lanes), 1200 Lakeview Drive, Franklin, and put them in the Second Harvest drop box during the game. We will also have a donation jars available for those who want to donate coins…or large sums of cash!

The most needed donation items include:

canned fruit

canned tuna or chicken

canned vegetables

peanut butter

cereal

pasta

Please note: Second Harvest cannot accept home-canned foods, outdated foods, damaged food items…or brats.

OR, if you would rather make a donation online, follow this link to the Nashville Packer page:http://vad.aidmatrix.org/vadxml.cfm?driveid=6122

As the economic crisis and high rates of unemployment continue, the need for food assistance

remains urgent. In any given week, more than 21,000 people receive emergency food assistance from a food pantry, soup kitchen or shelter served by Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. As a result of the demand for their services, Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee has increased food distribution by 25 percent over the past two years and they need us to step up.

So, grab some non perishable food items from your pantry on your way to the club on Sunday, January 15 and let's cheer on our team while cheering up our community. Go Pack!

Playoff Excitement Builds!

2012-01-12T10:50:00.000-06:00

We hope everyone is revved up for the big Packers playoff game versus the Giants this Sunday January 15. We'll be tailgating, as we do for all playoff games, on the deck outside of the Scoreboard Bar and Grill. The tailgate starts at 1:30pm. Game time is 3:30pm. Everyone is welcome to join us. The club will provide chili and beer and you should bring a side dish to share. It's free for club members and just $7 for visitors. Originally we said it would be brats on the menu, but it will actually be chili. Don't forget to bring canned food items for our food drive to support Second Harvest of Nashville. We want to show our support for the less fortunate in our community.

Go Pack Go!

It's Time for the Playoffs and Tailgates

2012-01-02T09:03:00.001-06:00

Get ready Nashville Green Bay Packers fans! The date and time are set and now it's just a case of who the Packers will be facing for their first playoff game. It's scheduled for Sunday, January 15 at 3:30pm. That means our tailgate party at the Scoreboard will start at 1:30pm. As usual, all are welcome, including visitors. The tailgate fun is free for members and just $7 for non-members. We provide chili and beer, you bring a side dish to share. We'll have a tailgate for every playoff game.

We're also doing our part to help the community with a food drive for this playoff game. All donations will go to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Nashville. Just bring non-perishable food items to the Scoreboard and we'll load them up. Food drive organizer Rundi Ream will take them to Second Harvest. The Franklin Packers club will be participating on their end. It's a great way to show the community how much Packers fans care!

If you have any questions about the food drive you can contact Rundi through the Nashville Green Bay Packers Club Facebook page. And if you haven't liked us yet on that page, it's the best way to get timely updates on club news.

Silent Auction Results and Christmas Tailgate

2011-12-07T12:02:00.001-06:00

The Nashville Green Bay Packers Club silent auction last Sunday was a huge success. We had some cool and unique items and even one that was a bit risque! Lisa says we raised more than $900 and that's one of the biggest totals in club history. Next week, Sunday, December 11, is the Christmas tailgate party, starting at 1pm with game time at 3:15pm. If you participated in Secret Santa this year, Santa will be there to help distribute the gifts. Lisa and Scott are cooking up turkey and stuffing. Everyone should bring a side to share. As always, the tailgate is held outside of the Scoreboard Bar and Grill and is free for members and just $7 for visitors (beer included). Everyone is invited.

Time Change for December 11 Game and Tailgate

2011-11-28T15:50:00.000-06:00

The NFL has decided to move the December 11 game against the Raiders to 3:15pm. It was set for noon. That's the Christmas tailgate event date, so the tailgate time will change as well. The tailgate at the Scoreboard will now start at 1pm. We'll have turkey and ham, and of course beer- you bring the sides. It's free for members and just $7 for visitors and non-members. Everyone is invited.

Undefeated Pack Go 10-0

2011-11-21T11:59:00.001-06:00

Despite a few worries along the way the Pack pulled off another one and find themselves at 10-0. Aaron Rodgers has been nothing short of amazing. The next test will be a tough one: the Lions on Thanksgiving day. We won't be gathering at the Scoreboard for that game- they don't open until 3pm. We'll see everyone back for the December 4 game. It's the silent auction.

December 4: Silent Auction fundraiser. Bring your Packer stuff to auction to benefit the club. Just in time for Christmas shopping.

December 11: Tailgate at 1pm (just changed..game time now 3:15pm) and the announcement of the Greatest Fan Contest winners.

And of course we will tailgate for each playoff game, as usual. Make sure you Like Us on facebook to keep in touch with other fans and the latest on all of these events.

Nashville Green Bay Packers Club

Club T-Shirts are Here!

2011-10-25T14:56:00.001-05:00

Nashville Green Bay Packers club members get free t-shirts this year with their membership. They arrived last week and folks at the Vikings game watch are already wearing them. If you're a member you can get yours at the next game watch. Because of the bye-week that will be Sunday, November 6 at 3:15pm versus the Chargers. We'll also have a limited number of shirts and posters for sale to non-members and visitors. They'll be available at the Scoreboard each game day. A special thanks to Rachel Cater for the original cool design and Ronnie Graves for taking that design and working it up for a great shirt.

Bring on the Vikings!

2011-10-19T13:06:00.000-05:00

The 6-0 Packers...that's just nice to say; kind of rolls off the tongue. Let's see them go for number seven against the Vikings this coming Sunday at 3:15pm. As usual we'll be watching at the Scoreboard and everyone is invited. We had 130 for the tailgate and game watch last weekend. We're getting closer on those t-shirts for all club members. Hopefully we'll have them in the next couple of weeks. Go Pack Go!

Tailgate Sunday, October 16

2011-10-11T06:40:00.000-05:00

Hey, Nashville Green Bay Packer fans: This coming week, Sunday October 16, is a tailgate game. The festivities will start at 10am on the deck outside of the Scoreboard. The club provides brats and beer and you bring a favorite side dish to share. It's free for members and just $7 for visitors. Everyone is welcome. We'll see you there Packer Fans! And go Brew Crew... don't let Pujols get you down! We know you can do it.

Huge Wisconsin Sports Weekend

2011-10-03T06:43:00.000-05:00

It doesn't get much better than this....an incredible Wisconsin sports weekend and everyone wins! Packers took their game, Badgers beat Nebraska and the Brewers won the first two games of the NLDS. We had 70 Packer fans watching the Pack and the Brewers at the Scoreboard on Sunday. A reminder to all members: we need your shirt size for the Nashville Green Bay Packers Club t-shirt. It comes free with your membership. E-mail your shirt size to Kelly at: nshvlpackerclub@hotmail.com

Next Sunday is a 7:30pm game. We'll be at the Scoreboard watching as always.

Successful Bear Hunting

2011-09-26T06:44:00.001-05:00

We had 140 Packer fans at the Scoreboard to watch the Pack take down the Bears on Sunday. It was perfect weather for a tailgate and fans enjoyed the sun and all of the great side dishes people brought. We usually have several visitors from Wisconsin attend the games. Pat and Jerry are from De Pere, Wisconsin. They're good friends now and come down several times a year. This time they brought their daughter along for the trip. Pat and Jerry always provide great Packer stuff for giveaways. The best items are the ones they make themselves. At this game they presented club organizers Lisa and Scott with a special Packer comforter. It's a wonderful tribute to the couple who keep The Nashville Green Bay Packers Club going strong! Go Pack!

We'll Take Any Win and Bears Tailgate Next Week

2011-09-19T07:44:00.000-05:00

Cam Newton had his fun for the first half. And while defense had major coverage issues they did manage to pick up a bunch of interceptions that helped to wear the Panthers down. It should never have been this close a game and we hope there is major defensive work occurring in Green Bay this week. In the meantime, we'll take the win and look forward to next week's match-up versus the Bears. It's a tailgate game and that means the festivities start at 1pm outside on the Scoreboard deck. The club will be cooking up brats and provide the beer. You should bring a dish to share and plenty of Packer Pride. The tailgate is free for members and just $7 for non-members. As usual everyone is welcome. Membership is $20 this year and includes not only the tailgates but also a special members-only drawing at each game (we still do drawings for everyone as well), the Greatest Fan attendance contest and a club shirt. See Kelly to sign-up as a member and we hope to see you Sunday at 1pm for the tailgate.

Some folks may be wondering how we're doing with the big influx of new fans this season. We had 125 Packer fans at the Scoreboard on Sunday, a number usually reserved for playoff games. The deck provides a great alternative place to watch the game and lately we've been taking over the back room as needed. The Scoreboard folks are great hosts and always willing to help accommodate Packer fans. We love to see new faces and the visitors who drop-in from Wisconsin and across the country. We even had a fan from Holland at the game yesterday. All Packer fans are welcome at the Nashville Green Bay Packers Club!

Kicking-Off the Season with a Win!

2011-09-09T06:39:00.001-05:00

You knew that this game was going to be close. And it did go down to the last few seconds. A win to start of the season is a good thing, and while there appears to be much work to do with the defense, the offense looked good. We had 154 Packer fans at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill to watch the game. Festivities started with a pot luck tailgate and people signing up to be club members. This year your $20 membership gets you a club t-shirt. We're going to show some possible designs for that shirt at the next game. And don't forget the Greatest Fan Contest. All members get a calendar of sorts and a stamp for every game they attend. Whoever has the best attendance will be part of a drawing to win a $300 Packer Pro Shop gift certificate and other great prizes. Hope to see you at the next game!

Get Ready for the Season Packer Fans!

2011-08-15T06:56:00.003-05:00

We're getting geared up for a big season of football with the Green Bay Packers. The Nashville Packers Club will be following the Pack every step of the way. We'll have special t-shirts this year for everyone who signs-up for a club membership at $20. We also have the Greatest Fan Contest for club members. We'll mark attendance at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill for every game from September 8 through December 11 (with the exception of Thanksgiving). The fans with the highest attendance will be eligible for a drawing. First place is a $300 gift certificate for the Packers Pro Shop. Second place is $200 cash and third place is $100 cash. A special thanks to the folks at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill for chipping in on those prizes.

Our first get together will be a pre-season warm-up and membership drive. We'll be at the Scoreboard for the August 26 game at 7pm versus Indianapolis.

We'll be gathering to watch every game as usual and since there are so many night and late games we're making a big push to get there even when the game is on national TV. Here are the scheduled extra events for the season:

September 8: Kick-off night with a potluck on the deck at the Scoreboard starting at 5:30pm. Game time is 7:30pm.

September 25: Tailgate starting at 1:15pm for the big Bears match-up

October 16: Tailgate versus the Rams starting at 10am.

December 4: Silent Auction fundraiser. Bring your Packer stuff to auction to benefit the club. Just in time for Christmas shopping.

December 11: Tailgate at 10am and the announcement of the Greatest Fan Contest winners.

And of course we will tailgate for each playoff game, as usual. Make sure you Like Us on facebook to keep in touch with other fans and the latest on all of these events.

Nashville Packer Fans Celebrate the Super Bowl

2011-02-11T09:04:00.000-06:00

What a night....here are some pictures from our packed Packer house in Nashville. We're already looking forward to next season. And a reminder, the summer party is scheduled for Saturday, June 18 starting at 11am at Kate and Eric's house in Joelton. Everyone is invited.

Return that Trophy to Titletown Please!

2011-02-06T22:09:00.000-06:00

We're hoarse, happy.... hell, elated. It was an amazing end to an improbable season. It was a blast tonight, that's all we can say. Way to go Packers! Thanks Scoreboard for hosting such an awesome party and thank-you 200 or so Packer fans who joined us to watch the Packers return to NFL Champions. The Lombardi Trophy is coming home.

We just have one thing to say today...

2011-02-06T08:40:00.000-06:00

Super Bowl Party Details

2011-02-01T18:13:00.000-06:00

It's time for the Super Bowl ladies and gentlemen! The Nashville Packers Club will be gathering at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill, as we have for every game this season, and for many seasons before. The Super Bowl festivities will kick-off at 2pm and go until 5pm with a deck/party tailgate. The Scoreboard is generously putting up a buffet with brats, wings and barbecue. You should bring your favorite side to share. They'll also put up a keg of beer for the club...all for one price of $5. You'll need to get a wristband to participate, but everyone is welcome club members and non-club members alike!

Starting at 5pm it will be game time and normal menu and cash bar (and of course cash bar and menu will also be available all day). We'll have special club giveaways for the game.

Hope to see you there and other than that, all we can say is:

Go Pack Go !

Super Bowl Bound !!!!!!!!!!!

2011-01-23T19:39:00.003-06:00

The Packers are back in the Super Bowl for the first time in 13 years! It's was a hard fought defensive battle against the Bears and in the end Sam Shields put it away with a final interception. Our hearts were racing and teeth clenched in that fourth quarter. We had more than 150 Packer fans going absolutely nuts at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill when that final second ran out, and for many of us it still seemed unreal that the Packers were heading to the Super Bowl.

The club will be doing the Super Bowl up in style thanks to the good folks at the Scoreboard. We'll get going with a tailgate around 2 p.m. The bar is buying the first keg and for $5 you'll also get a buffet of the Scoreboard favorites, including barbecue. They'll have heaters out on the deck so we can spread out and enjoy the big day. For this tailgate don't bring a side dish, due to the buffet, and everyone will have to pay the $5 cover, club member or not. Everyone is invited. It's a pretty damn good deal and we thank the Scoreboard for taking care of us.

We look forward to seeing everyone for this amazing event! We'll try and have more details soon. Meanwhile, if you are going to spend the big bucks and catch the game in Dallas we have a tip from Joe. He recommends Mary@fanexperiences.com for Super Bowl accommodation booking.

NFC Championship - Here We Come!

2011-01-16T09:05:00.000-06:00

Aaron Rodgers as the best Packers quarterback ever? Let's see how things go, but that game against Atlanta was phenomenal, and better stat-wise than any playoff game by Brett Favre. We had 142 Packer fans filling the house for the big game and to say the place was rocking is an understatement. We're going to keep that energy going on Sunday for the NFC Championship and if you can find room, you're welcome to join us. We'll kick it off with a tailgate outside the Scoreboard Bar and Grill starting at noon. The game is at 2pm. Visitors and non-members can participate in the tailgate for just $7. We have no idea what will be on the menu- beer and plenty of side dishes are a given. Make sure you bring a side dish to share.

Down to the Wire in Philly - Next Stop Atlanta!

2011-01-10T08:03:00.000-06:00

Let's hear it for Tramon Williams! His game winning interception probably saved the day. It was a tough battle and the Packers fought hard for the win. We had 120 screaming Packer fans from one end of the bar to the other. The energy was amazing. We're going to do it all again next week. The game is scheduled for Saturday at 7 p.m. in Atlanta. We'll start the tailgate, outside the Scoreboard Bar and Grill, at 5 p.m. Saturday. Lisa says Scott will be cooking up brats. We'll have beer. Just make sure to bring a side dish to share. Everyone is welcome. The tailgate is free for members and just $7 for non-members and visitors. Visiting Packer fans are always welcome!

GO PACK GO!

Woo-Hoo...Packers are in the Playoffs!

2011-01-02T18:57:00.001-06:00

Beating the Bears in the final seconds on an interception- it doesn't get much better than that, unless of course it means the Packers are headed to the playoffs. We had more than 100 Packer fans rocking the Scoreboard Bar and Grill for the game. The wildcard match-up and time has just been announced. Green Bay will play at Philadelphia for the 3:30pm CST game Sunday. That means our playoff tailgate will start at 1pm Sunday in the Scoreboard parking lot. Everyone is invited to watch the game with us. The tailgate is free for members and just $7 for visitors and non-members.

The Packers are on a roll! GO PACK!

Big Game Sunday - Time Change

2010-12-28T20:06:00.000-06:00

This is it Packer fans- Sunday is do or die for the Pack. They must beat the Bears to reach the playoffs. It's the ultimate match-up. The network liked it so much they changed the time. It was a noon game and is now scheduled for 3:15pm. We hope to see everyone out in force at the Scoreboard to cheer the team on to victory!

A side note: many folks will also be gathering to watch the Badgers in the Rosebowl on January 1st at the Scoreboard.

Happy Holidays!

Silent Auction and Tailgate Next Week

2010-12-05T17:03:00.000-06:00

Thanks to everyone who participated in the silent auction today. Lisa says we raised $371 for the club. That, combined with a convincing Packer win, made for a nice day. Next week is the Christmas tailgate outside on the deck at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill. Festivities will start at 10am. Scott and Lisa will be cooking up turkey and ham. Everyone should bring a side dish. A reminder that if you picked a name in the secret Santa, the gift exchange will be on Sunday as well. It should be a fun way to celebrate the holiday with all of your Packer friends. And if you're from out of town you are welcome to attend the tailgate and watch the game with us (don't worry, we go inside to watch the game) Anyone can attend for just $7 per person. It's free for club members.

Atlanta Trip Pics and Silent Auction

2010-11-29T20:10:00.000-06:00

Thousands of Packer fans descended on Atlanta last weekend. The Nashville Packers Club was there in force. We walked into a bar called Stats on Saturday, expecting to find a few Packer fans watching the Wisconsin game. We found about 300 Packer and Badgers fans enjoying the big Wisconsin win. Of course the Packer-Falcons match-up didn't turn out so well. It was a hell of a game and anyone who says Atlanta fans don't show spirit is out of their mind. The Georgia Dome was rocking and for the most part Falcon fans we're quite nice. Here are some pics of the trip.

Next weekend, December 5, is the club benefit Silent Auction at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill. You can bring auction items to donate to the club anytime before the game...although the earlier the better to allow people to see what we have to bid on. Bring your cash because there should be plenty of great stuff. All proceeds go to fund club tailgates and the summer party.

Beating up on the Vikings - Atlanta Trip Details

2010-11-21T16:15:00.003-06:00

Nice to see a real butt kicking against the Vikings. Now on to Atlanta for what should be a tough one, considering how the Falcons are playing.

There are about 30 Packer fans from Nashville traveling to the game. We will be meeting up for a tailgate before the game. Scott and Lisa will be picking up brats, chips, cookies and beverages (beer, soda & water). We ask that everyone chip in $10 per person if you want to participate. Kelly needs you to RSVP if you plan to participate at nshvlpackerclub@hotmail.com to make sure we have enough food. If you want to just meet us at the parking lot and provide your own food/drink that will be perfectly acceptable as well.

The tailgate parking area is to be determined. The Falcons apparently have a first come first serve policy when it comes to parking, so we won't know what parking lot we will be in until that morning ... call Kelly that morning after 9am for the exact location: 615-403-6809. We will be flying the Packer flag. But there will probably be several Packer clubs there that day.

We plan to also get together the Saturday night before the game at the Midtown Tavern http://www.midtowntavern.net/home in Atlanta. We'll probably meet starting at 6pm for an informal get together. Hope to see you there! If not, folks will still be getting together at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill in Donelson to watch the game. Feel free to come down and cheer on the Pack!

Scary Game - Events Coming Soon

2010-11-01T18:11:00.003-05:00

The Packers-Jets match-up was a bit frightening and sometimes odd, but the Pack kicked their way to a win. We had about 75 Packer fans turn out for the tailgate party before the game and for the game itself. Most people just dressed like Packer fans drinking beer. However, the folks pictured were a bit more in the spirit of the day.

A reminder that we have some events coming up. First off it will probably be a smaller group at the Scoreboard for the Sunday night game against Dallas next week. The week after that is the bye. We'll be back in full force November 21 versus the Vikings (that should be interesting). A bunch of Nashville area Packer fans are traveling to the November 28 game in Atlanta. We're trying to hook up with some other clubs and we'll let everyone know about potential meet up spots Saturday night and then the tailgate location outside the Georgia Dome on game day.

Our next two big events will be the December 5 Silent Auction (bring items to auction to benefit the club and prepare to shop) and the December 12 Christmas Tailgate. There will also be a draw at the November 21 game for Secret Santa, with the gifts being traded at the December 12 tailgate.

Don't forget to friend us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24726878509&ref=search
You'll need to be signed in to Facebook to see it. If you're not, what better reason to start now.

Kick Hunger Challenge

2010-10-19T18:42:00.003-05:00

As the football season gets underway, fans now have another way to rally around their favorite teams while also raising desperately-needed funds for hunger relief. Taste of the NFL is hoping to score a touchdown with the "Kick Hunger Challenge", an online campaign which pits fans from all 32 NFL teams against each other to raise money for food banks in communities nationwide.

Damn Dolphins

2010-10-17T17:27:00.000-05:00

A tough loss in overtime and more penalties than we could count. The injuries are really hitting the Pack hard. It was good to see Rodgers up and at it after his concussion. The defense though, was weak at best. We had about 50 passionate Packer fans cheering on the team at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill. Next Sunday night won't be an official Packer party at the bar, but many fans will still get together. Then join us on Halloween, October 31, for a Packer tailgate outside on the deck. The festivities will kick-off at 10:30am. We have the food and the beer, just bring a side for folks to share.

Tough Loss - Big Crowd

2010-10-10T17:13:00.000-05:00

A heart breaker in overtime and several key players injured on top of it all. Let's hope the team can pull it back together next week against Miami. We had a huge crowd for the game at the Scoreboard bar and Grill on Sunday- more than 100 Packer fans cheered on the team, including folks from Tuscon, Los Angeles, Ohio, and Oneida, Wisconsin.

Next week is a noon game and the week after is the big Monday night football match up versus Mr. Favre and the Vikings. The next tailgate will be on October 31, Halloween starting at 10:30am.

Too Close for Comfort

2010-10-03T16:05:00.000-05:00

The Lions? A close game? This should have been a blow-out and while the Pack pulled out a win, the game left plenty of questions. There were plenty of push-ups to be done for each touchdown. We had 90 Packers fan watching with us at the Scoreboard and a bunch showed up early for the tailgate, despite (relatively) chilly temperatures. Pat and Jerry Walker are good friends who travel down from Green Bay on a regular basis. They are big supporters of the club and this week they auctioned the clothes right off their backs to benefit the club! Many of the items are one of a kind, made by Pat herself. They raised a bunch of money and a good time was had by all. We also had Packer fans in from Mauston, Fond du Lac and East Troy. We'll be back at it next week for a noon game against the Redskins.

Rolling Over the Bills

2010-09-19T18:48:00.000-05:00

The first quarter was good, the second quarter ugly and yet the Packers kept it moving in the second half for a convincing win. Clay Matthews had another standout day and Aaron Rodgers racked up the stats. We had about 75 people watching the game at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill. Folks dropped in from Racine and Green Bay. The day started with a potluck tailgate out on the Scoreboard deck. Packers fans can cook up some pretty amazing food. Fans will be gathering at the bar for the Monday Night Football game next week, however it's usually a smaller crowd. The next event up is the official tailgate (the club provides the food and beer and people bring side dishes to share) on October 3 at 10:30am. Hope to see everyone rooting on the Pack!

Pack Wins - Despite Fourth Quarter Worries

2010-09-13T07:07:00.000-05:00

The Packers started strong in the first half against Philadelphia and kept it going even into the third quarter. The fourth quarter was all Philadelphia and provided a bit of a scare. The defense did get the job done and Clay Matthews had a stand out game including a role in the big fourth down final stop.

We had a great crowd for the season kick-off: more than 65 Packer fans came out to the Scoreboard Bar and Grill. Tom, Linda and Michelle came to Nashville from Lacrosse for vacation and didn't expect to find a Packer bar. When they realized they needed Packer gear they ran out to the local WalMart and bought up gold t-shirts and green marking pens. This is the result. This earns them the award for the most loyal and creative fans of the day. We're glad they could join us. And as usual we open the doors to all traveling Packer fans.

Next week, September 19, we'll have a potluck tailgate. That means everyone brings a dish for the food and the club will bring the beer. It gets going at 10:30am on the deck at the Scoreboard. See you there!

Summer Party June 12

2010-04-30T16:20:00.003-05:00

The 2010 Summer Nashville Packers Club party is coming up on Saturday, June 12 from 1pm-11pm at Katie and Eric's house in Joelton. There is plenty of space to camp out, so feel free to bring a tent or camper and spend the night. We don't want anyone driving drunk, so please take us up on the offer if you plan to drink. We ask that people bring a dish to share. The club pays for the main food item and beer. The party is free for members and just $7 for non-members. There is a pool, so bring a bathing suit if you want to swim.

Katie and Eric's house is located at 5033 Rawlings Road in Joelton. Take Briley to the Clarksville Highway exit and head north. You'll go several miles and finally arrive at the top of the hill in Joelton. There is a stop light there at the BP station and Possum's Pizza. Keep going straight on Clarksville Highway until you get to the next traffic light. That is Rawlings Road. Take a left. 5033 is the third house on the left with the long gravel driveway. You can park in the adjoining field.

Atlanta Road Trip Next Season

2010-01-25T11:38:00.001-06:00

The club is planning our first road trip. The Green Bay Packers will be heading to Atlanta, Georgia sometime next season. Date to be determined but we are defiantly on the schedule. In order for me not to bombard your email account with unnecessary emails I need you to reply back to me that you want the emails about the trip. As details become available I will email you updates, questions, and ideas for the trip.

When we have a date for the game we will set a date to meet and discuss transportation, lodging and any other details to make the trip successful. After the meeting I will be able to give you an idea on the cost. This is NOT a commitment yet ... once the date is determined you can make a final decision. I just need to know if you want to continue receiving the emails about the trip.

Overtime, Bad Call and the End of the Season

2010-01-12T08:47:00.003-06:00

Ah, the face mask. We all saw it. It certainly could have been a game changer. But alas, it doesn't matter. The season is at an end for the Packers. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who showed up for games this season. It was a great year and we look forward to next season.

To help everyone stay in touch during the off-season we hold the annual Nashville Packers Club Summer Party. It will be held on Saturday, June 12 at Katie and Eric's house in Joelton. All members are invited and non-members can attend with just a $7 admission. The pool will be open and something cooking over open coals (pork, chicken, beef?). We ask everyone to bring a side

We'll post exact times and directions for the summer party later this spring. Until then enjoy the playoffs and the hardest question of all: will you be rooting for Brett Favre and the Vikings?

Packers playoff game time is set for Sunday

2010-01-04T06:42:00.004-06:00

The NFL has announced that the Packers will play Arizona in the Wild Card round of the playoffs on Sunday at 3:40pm Nashville time. The game will be in Phoenix. We'll be tailgating outside of the Scoreboard Bar and Grill for every playoff game. We'll start at 2pm on Sunday. Lisa and Scott are cooking up chili, so bring a side dish to share. We will have some electric outlets to plug in crock pots and stuff. Remember all club members can come to tailgates for free, everyone else is welcome too, it's just $7 per person. It's going to be chilly so dress warm. We'll have the fire pit going.

Then we'll head inside and root on the Packers. Aaron Rodgers looked really good on Sunday and hopefully they can keep the momentum even when the Cardinals play full strength.

Packers make the playoffs!

2009-12-28T17:56:00.005-06:00

You can't beat a nice ass kicking of Seattle. It's just too bad Holmgren wasn't there to grimace his way through it. We had about 60 Packer fans at the Scoreboard for the game, which is pretty good considering how many regulars were out of town for the holidays. We did have a number of visitors, including University of Kentucky fans who also cheer on the green and gold. They were in town for the Music City Bowl.

The win means that the Packers clinch a playoff spot. The wild card weekend is Saturday, January 9 and Sunday, January 10. We'll be tailgating before the game no matter what day or time.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. A potential playoff rival is Arizona and we end the regular season with them on Sunday at 3:15pm. We'll be at the Scoreboard as usual so let's send the Pack off to the playoffs in style. Everyone is welcome to join us!

Do or Die Time

2009-12-22T18:08:00.003-06:00

It's down to the wire for the Green Bay Packers. They will have to be playing top notch football to make the playoffs. According to the latest scenario: "for the Pack to clinch a playoff spot this week, the Giants would have to lose or tie against Carolina – or Dallas would have to lose to the Redskins. The Packers can still make the playoffs themselves by running the table – which means they’d also have to beat Arizona in their regular season finale on January third in Glendale Arizona."

We'll be at the Scoreboard cheering on the green and gold. Come join us.

Go Pack Go!

2009-12-13T20:10:00.004-06:00

Ah, is there anything more satisfying than a win against the Bears? Sure, beating the Favre Vikings would be nice. We'll take what we can get and a Bears win is just fine. About 80 people turned out for the game and the Christmas tailgate party. Scott and Lisa were out in the Scoreboard parking lot at 5:30am cooking up turkey and ham with help from Dick. Thanks to their skill and dedication we had a true feast. We'll post more tailgate pics soon. In the meantime, a reminder that the game next week against the Steelers has been moved to 3:15pm. We hope to see you at the Scoreboard to help cheer the Packers into the playoffs!

Tailgate at 10:30am this Sunday

2009-12-09T18:22:00.003-06:00

Just a reminder that our Christmas tailgate at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill is this Sunday the 13th at 10:30 a.m. Bring a dish to pass ... come on it's Christmas make something special!!! The club will be providing grilled turkey and ham. It's free for members and just $7 for non-members. Everyone is invited.

Bring on dem Bears!!!

Silent Auction Raises More Than $700

2009-11-22T19:44:00.007-06:00

We had a good crowd at the Scoreboard to watch the Packers beat the 49ers today. Hopefully they still have plenty of juice left for the short week before the Thanksgiving match-up with the Lions. It's always a better turkey day when the Packers win and losing to the Lions is simply not an option. The silent auction was a real success, with more than $700 raised. Thanks to everyone who donated items. We had some good ones, including original Packer art prints, Preds tickets, cool jackets and a variety of Packer jewelry for the ladies. The proceeds go to fund club tailgates and the summer party.

Speaking of tailgates, the next up is on December 13th starting at 10:30am outside on the Scoreboard deck. It's the Christmas themed tailgate complete with a Christmas feast of turkey and trimmings. Make sure you bring a side dish to share. Everyone is invited. It's just $7 for non-members and free of course for members.

That Bears game may be the next for many folks at the Scoreboard. The game after Thanksgiving is a Monday night game on December 7th versus the Ravens. We get a smaller crowd for the Monday Night Football games, but you are still welcome to come down and cheer the Pack.

Take that Cowboys

2009-11-16T06:31:00.004-06:00

It appeared to be a blizzard of yellow snow in Green Bay. Actually those were penalty flags flying so often it was hard to tell at times if there was actually a football game occurring. Still, it ended in good fashion with the Packers beating the Cowboys for an important win...no matter how ugly it was getting there.

We had a smaller crowd due to the game being shown on Nashville TV. Make sure you get down to the Scoreboard next Sunday before noon for the 49ers match up and the Silent Auction. You can bring anything you want to auction off to benefit the Nashville Packers Club. We use the proceeds to support many of those great giveaway items and pay for the tailgates and the summer party. Bring plenty of cash so you can bid on the items. We always have cool, collectible Packer stuff and often things that would make great Christmas presents. You can bid before the game and up through half-time. Highest bidder gets the item. See Lisa if you have any questions.

Losing to Tampa?

2009-11-08T17:42:00.006-06:00

It just doesn't seem right to lose to a team that hasn't won a game. The Packers defense crumbled and the offense couldn't make it happen down to the wire. Packer fans had fun anyway, both inside the Scoreboard Bar and Grill and outside on the deck. We have giveaways at half-time for each game...everything from shirts and caps to bobbleheads and gloves. This week Heath stepped up as our new half-time host. As usual we had guests from Wisconsin stopping by for the game. We welcome all Packer fans to come join us for a game.

Be sure to join us next week as the Packers take on the Cowboys. It's a 3:15pm game. And don't forget to bring items you want to auction off on November 22 for the silent auction. All proceeds go to support the Nashville Green Bay Packers Club.

Favre Homecoming

2009-11-02T20:45:00.007-06:00

There were a bunch of reasons to yell and cheer during the game Sunday. The Pack played tough in the second half and gave us some excitement. In the end Favre and his new friends were just better. We had a packed house so to speak: 114 Packer fans filled the room and spilled outside onto the deck. Sorry if you had trouble finding a seat and thanks to everyone for sharing tables.

Here are a couple of our upcoming events:

-Silent Auction club fundraiser: November 22 before and during the game

-Tailgate outside of the Scoreboard: December 13 at 10:30am.

See you Sunday!

Fun with Cleveland

2009-10-25T15:57:00.005-05:00

Nice to have an easy game...you can relax and have a good time. There were far too many penalties. Still, it's great to see the Pack at 4-2. Of course attention quickly turned to that other game...Vikings-Steelers. Mr. Favre had a tough game and almost pulled it off. The Packers will be watching that tape to see how the Steelers kept breaking through the talented Minnesota offensive line. It all leads up to next week when Favre returns to Lambeau. The game time has been moved to 3:15pm. We hope to see everyone at the Scoreboard!

Tailgating in Nashville

2009-10-25T09:03:00.013-05:00

We call them tailgates and sometimes they really are...like when the Pack comes to Nashville. Usually though it's more like an outdoor party held just before a game. We try to kindle a bit of that Lambeau Field feeling in Nashville by having tailgates outside the Scoreboard Bar and Grill a few times each season. Brats, beer, Bloody Marys and plenty of side dishes help everyone get in that Wisconsin spirit. Rundi took some great pictures at our last tailgate...which we share with you today.

Favre vs The Pack

2009-10-06T06:56:00.007-05:00

It was going to be a hard game no matter what. In the end Brett Favre proved that he still has it and even better for him a solid team behind him and a star to run the ball. Oh, well. The Pack played tough, even trying a comeback in the final minutes. We had a big crowd to watch the historic match-up: about 80 fans packed the Scoreboard Bar and Grill.

Favre fans still wore his number even as they rooted for the Packers to win. Former Packer player (1966-67) Dave Hathcock joined us for the game which is always an honor.

Lisa painted Joe up in the green and gold to get the festivities started.

It turned out pretty darn good.

There's a bye next week so we'll see everyone back at the Scoreboard for the tailgate on October 18th starting at 10:30am. It will be out on the deck at the Scoreboard. See you there!

Good Day for Packer Fans

2009-09-27T16:07:00.007-05:00

Bright sunshine, a fun tailgate party and best of all, a Packer win. You can't beat a day like this. We had 76 Packer fans at the Scoreboard for the tailgate and the game. Special thanks to birthday boy Harley and the polka band for some good drinking music. The Monday Night Football crowd may be smaller next week. If you want to come down to the Scoreboard there will still be Packer fans there for the big Vikings match-up.

Tough Loss - Good Crowd

2009-09-20T16:21:00.013-05:00

It was an ugly game that went down to the very last second - until the refs ended it. You gotta give the Pack credit for getting the onside kick. All those penalities though...depressing. Luckily we had an enthusiastic crowd of 85 Packer fans at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill. We checked out the new Packer theme inside the bar. The murals are pretty cool and everyone felt right at home. We had a lot of new faces this week...great to see you! We also had the usual assortment of Packer fans traveling through the area. You're always welcome to join us.

Samantha took home a Packers sweat shirt that may be a little too big for her...but probably will fit perfectly on mom. That's just one of the many prizes given away at half-time.

We'll be back next Sunday, September 27 cheering on the Pack. And don't forget it's our first tailgate party of the season. We start at 10:30am just outside of the Scoreboard and everyone is welcome. Members eat and drink for free. Non-members can pay $7 for brats, beer and plenty of sides. See you then!

Nashville Green Bay Packers Club.

Nice Way to Start the Season

2009-09-14T19:23:00.005-05:00

The Pack looked solid against the Bears and it was kinda fun watching Mr. Cutler throw all those interceptions - sorry Buddy you're a Bear now. We had a good crowd for the season kick-off at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill. About 50 Packer fans showed up, including a bunch of new folks.

We think the next Sunday game will be even bigger - Sunday night is always a little off. Anyway, come on down and check out the new Packer decorating inside the Scoreboard. Everyone should feel right at home. We'll be there for every game, especially Sundays.

Here are the tailgate and special event dates for the season:

First tailgate - Sunday, Sept. 27th 10:30 a.m.

Second tailgate – Sunday, Oct. 18th 10:30 a.m.

Scoreboard Silent Auction club fundraiser - before and during the game Sunday, Nov. 22nd

Season Kickoff Party

2009-09-07T17:48:00.003-05:00

Join us for the season opener against the Bears! We're having a season kick-off party on Sunday, September 13 at the Scoreboard. Nothing special, just a bunch of loud Packer fans cheering on the team. If the weather is nice we plan to spread out to the deck, which has wide screens and a bar. The Scoreboard is making the Packer section much more green and gold this season. Come by and check out the new decorating. Packer fans will begin to arrive around 6pm and the kickoff is at 7:20pm. So, even though the game is on TV you need to be with fellow Packer fans to get this season started right! If you are new to the club, come on down and check it out. Everyone is invited (well, maybe not Bears fans). Directions to the Scoreboard are on the right side of your screen.

Join us as the Pack comes to Nashville September 3rd at LP Field. We'll be tailgating in Lot A...we're not sure of the exact location in Lot A...just look for the Packer flag.

If you want to bring something else to grill we will have grills available. This tailgate is BYOB and once the food runs out that is it, so get there early.

We look forward to seeing everyone again and getting ready for a great season.

Packers-Titans Ticket Exchange

2009-08-17T18:24:00.004-05:00

We've had a bunch of folks contacting us about having or needing tickets for the September 3rd Packers-Titans game at LP Field in Nashville. We decided the best way to handle it is to open up the comments section to anyone who wants to post about either tickets available or tickets needed. We're not going to act as intermediary, you'll make the deal directly with whomever you contact, so make sure you include contact information and plenty of details.

2009-07-22T08:22:00.006-05:00

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for football again. It's always like this in the summer. I miss the colder days with everyone inside a crowded bar, yelling at the TV and having far too much fun. The Nashville Packers Club has been gearing up for the season. We have set dates for some of our signature events. We'll be meeting at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill next to Opryland again this year.

We're asking everyone to bring a side dish to share. If you need directions just e-mail Kelly by clicking on the "contact us" tab on the right hand side of your screen. Hope to see you there!

End of the Season...Summer Party info

2008-12-28T19:17:00.002-06:00

At least we beat the Lions, and that's about all we can say about that game.

While it was a hard season, with a number of tough losses, we'll still get excited about next year and prepare to root the Pack on again. In the meantime, don't forget about the summer party scheduled for June 20th in Joelton. We'll send out an email with directions and times later in the spring. If you are not on the e-mail list simply click on the contact heading on the right hand side of the screen and e-mail Kelly. She'll get you hooked up. See you next year!

Upcoming events and fun

We will have Packer fans from around the country that found out about us from this website. You can find directions to the Scoreboard by clicking on directions on the right hand side of the screen.

Game Day we will be hosting a tailgate in Section/Lot F. We will begin at 10:00 am. We will provide grills to use but it is a bring your own party. We were thinking if everyone brought their own meat item along with their beverage of choice and a side or appetizer to share. It should work out just fine.Lot F is located between James Robertson and the Woodland Street bridge on 1st Street on the riverside near the guard shack or old bus shelter .. near the front fence that faces 1st street. You can drop off your coolers .. (we will try to stake the tent in the grassy area next to the street) and then you can park your car. If you do not have a parking pass please email Kelly.

Great win...here's what's coming up

2008-10-19T19:00:00.003-05:00

It's always nice to see Peyton Manning unhappy and when it also means a Packer win...well, all the better. We head into a bye weekend and then it's the big Titans-Packers match-up on November 2. The Packer Club will be partying in Parking Lot F of LP Field, which is at 1st and Woodland. Look for the Packer flag flying high. We'll have a grill...bring your own meat and stuff to cook, and we'll share sides. Also make sure you bring beer! The tailgate will start at 10am. Everyone coming into town for the game is welcome to join us...especially any Wisconsin folks coming down for the game. Make sure you stop by to say hello!

The next Sunday, November 9, will be the Packer Auction. There will be all sorts of Packer items up for bid in a silent auction. The winning bids are announced at half-time.

Oh, and one final note. Packers fans are coming by the busload for the November 2nd game. They are having a party at the Scoreboard on Halloween, October 31, and the club is invited. We don't know when it starts and we don't know what it involves, or if people will be in costume. Just show up at the Scoreboard and we'll see what happens. If you're from out of town and you need directions just click on the right hand side of the screen. If you need better directions click on the contact us section for phone numbers.

Catching up....

2008-10-13T20:16:00.003-05:00

Okay, so we haven't posted in a while. Time to get caught up. The Pack looked good Sunday against Seattle. Sure, the Seahawks kinda suck this year and Hasselbeck is out, but we'll take it. It's another 3:15pm game at the Scoreboard next Sunday and we'll be there, so come on down and join us. Also, we're making plans for the game against the Titans here in Nashville. The club will be meeting under the big Packer flag. We'll have directions and details on this blog coming soon. Come down for the tailgate and game. With the Titans 5-0 it should be interesting to say the least.

Rodgers may play Sunday

2008-09-29T20:38:00.002-05:00

Here is the latest from ESPN on Aaron Rodgers:

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers intends to play against Atlanta on Sunday despite a sprained shoulder that his coaches will be watching closely in practice.
Packers coach Mike McCarthy and his assistants will spend this week monitoring Rodgers' progress and preparing rookie backup Matt Flynn to start, just in case.

"Speaking with Aaron this morning, he has every intention on playing," McCarthy said Monday in Green Bay. "But I think Wednesday's practice will be a pretty good indicator for us. It's just something we'll have to continue to rehab and see where we are on Wednesday."

Good news for Packer fans. Join us on Sunday at 10am for the second tailgate of the season.

Who Hates the Cowboys?

2008-09-23T18:34:00.004-05:00

Of course we all do. The Cowboys always manage to cause the Packers trouble, but they were certainly the better team on Sunday.

Enough of that.

Time to get ready for Tampa!

It's a noon start at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill and the Packer faithful will be on hand. Don't forget the club logo design contest. Bring your design for display and everyone will vote on their favorite. The winning art will adorn the next club t-shirt.

Tailgate and 2-0!

2008-09-14T16:11:00.010-05:00

We had the first tailgate of the season, despite a visit from Ike. The deck at the Scoreboard makes tailgates easy and even more fun. It was a great game by the Pack, even with a rather poor third quarter performance. The defense certainly got reved up in the final minutes of the game and Rodgers looked like a star. About 80 Packer fans watched at the Scoreboard and cheered him to the very end. We're on a roll at 2-0.

Aaron Rodgers leaps into the record books

2008-09-09T06:52:00.004-05:00

Way to go Aaron! A solid start on Monday and one for the record books. He had the second-highest completion percentage in NFL history for a quarterback making his first start. Not too shabby and thanks to some big plays by other folks, the Pack went on to win. Now, we could have done without all those penalties, hopefully that will smooth out quickly.

We watched it all at the Scoreboard. Katie showed her team spirit by doing the push-ups that always mark Packer touchdowns. A fun time was had by all.

Sunday is our first tailgate of the season. We'll start the party at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill at 10am. It looks like the new party deck will be open for the occasion. Tailgates feature food and beer and are free for members and just $7 for visitors.

Also, on Friday the Scoreboard is celebrating the new look with a little party, featuring a free fish fry and shrimp boil. Come down and take a look at the remodeling. Otherwise we'll see you at the game Sunday.

Season Kick-Off Party Monday

2008-09-04T07:53:00.003-05:00

Okay, enough of the pre-season. We're ready to see some real football kick-off. It's time to see what Rodgers can do for an entire game. It all starts on Monday night, September 8 at 6pm against the Vikings. It promises to be a tough match-up for the first game. It is an earlier game than usual due to the double header that night. We'll be at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill in Donelson cheering on the Pack. Come on down and check out the new outdoor deck and remember we're going to have a raffle each week to see who gets to sit in the VIP section for the next game. Every game features free giveaways, raffles and beer specials, plus some of the loudest and most loyal Packer fans around. Everyone is welcome to join us.

Here are some of the other season highlights:

Monday September 8.....Kickoff party and game
Sunday September 14.....tailgate at 10am
Sunday September 28.....t-shirt design display and vote
Sunday October 5....tailgate at 10am
Sunday November 2....tailgate at LP Field for Titans vs. Packers
Sunday November 9....silent auction
Sunday December 14....tailgate 10am

Last Pre-Season Game

2008-08-25T13:01:00.003-05:00

Aaron Rodgers had some nice moves and a few really good passes last weekend against Denver. We especially like the 1970's porn star mustache. Now it's time for the final pre-season game and against the Titans, which is always fun. We'll be at the Scoreboard on Thursday at 6pm for the game...come out and join us if you can. And a reminder that if you scroll down the posts or click on events you can find the tailgate and special event calendar for the entire season.

Rodgers Looked Good

2008-08-13T08:10:00.003-05:00

Aaron Rodgers took the field at Lambeau and looked pretty good for his first start. Packer fans at the Scoreboard were treated to a free dinner buffet courtesy of Sean and the Scoreboard folks. We also held the first raffle to determine who gets to sit in the new VIP section for opening day. It will be Rindy and Randy Richards. Congrats guys. The VIP section is still under construction, but will be where the stage currently is located. Each week you will be able to participate in the fundraising raffle which will determine who sits in the VIP section for the next game. Check the schedule section in the posting below for details on the rest of the season fun. And GO PACK!

Ready for the Season

2008-08-03T17:43:00.006-05:00

Football is back Packer fans! The club has been putting together the calendar for the year. We'll be back at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill in Donelson (right across from Opryland hotel) as usual and they have some fun new things planned for the season. The Scoreboard will be dressing up the bar with even more Packer stuff. There will be a special VIP section with a couch and a couple of La-Z-Boy type recliners and a flat screen. The best part of that is Packer fans will be able to participate in a raffle to see who gets to sit there each week. We'll do the raffle the week before so you'll know ahead of time. The drawing for the regular season opener VIP access will be held at the August 11th pre-season game. The Scoreboard will be hosting a big welcome back buffet that evening....and it's FREE! It's their way of showing the Packer fans how much they appreciate the business.

The pre-season games on the 16th and 22nd are up in the air. The Scoreboard folks will be happy to host, but they need the satellite coordinates to get the game, so call ahead to see if they will have it. Everyone will gather on August 28 for the final pre-season game at the Scoreboard.

The Scoreboard will be having a breakfast buffet this year for early games, including a Bloody Mary bar. They'll also be serving fried cheese curds this year to get you in the Wisconsin mood for the game.

Membership dues this year will be $15 again per person. That includes tailgates and giveaways. The tailgate guest price will be $7. One final note before we get to the schedule for the year. Club members can design the new club t-shirt. Everyone is encouraged to submit a t-shirt design, with Nashville Packers Club and Packer Backers on it. They must be submitted by September 28. During that game all the designs will be on display and everyone will vote on the favorite.

Here is the special event calendar for the year:

Monday, August 11..........welcome back buffet

Saturday August 16.........maybe game on TV at Scoreboard. Call ahead.

Friday August 22.........maybe game on TV at Scoreboard. Call ahead.

Monday September 8.....Kickoff party and game

Sunday September 14.....tailgate at 10am

Sunday September 28.....t-shirt design display and vote

Sunday October 5....tailgate at 10am

Sunday November 2....tailgate at LP Field for Titans vs. Packers

Sunday November 9....silent auction

Sunday December 14....tailgate 10am

All other games will also be at the Scoreboard, although sometimes a smaller crowd for Monday night and Sunday night games. Come down and join us! Everyone is welcome!

One final note. Everyone wanted a date for the Summer Party next year...so what the heck...it will be on Saturday June 20th. Mark your calendar...if you have one that far in advance.

Summer party fun

2008-07-08T09:21:00.011-05:00

We had about 55 people for a great summer 2008 Packer party in June. There was fantastic barbecue, pool fun, a bonfire and camping. Thanks to everyone who came out. We'll see folks soon for football again at the Scoreboard. We'll post with whatever pre-season games we may want to get together for, depending on satellite availability. And who knows, perhaps we'll be cheering Favre on again? I think we all knew these rumors were going to surface. Whatever the case may be: GO PACK!

Summer Party June 21

2008-04-09T09:38:00.004-05:00

It's almost here....the annual Nashville Green Bay Packers Club Summer Party. It will be held on Saturday, June 21 this year from 1pm-11pm at Katie and Eric's house in Joelton. As usual there is plenty of space to camp out, so feel free to bring a tent or camper and spend the night. We don't want anyone driving drunk, so please take us up on the offer if you plan to drink. We ask that people bring a dish to share. The club pays for the main food item and beer. The party is free for members and just $7 for non-members. There is a pool, so bring a bathing suit if you want to swim.

Packer Club Bowling Party

2008-03-14T15:54:00.001-05:00

Join us for a Packer Club bowling party on Mar 30th .. Sunday at 3 pm at the Donelson Strike and Spare. Everyone is invited. I believe it is a pay your own way sort of thing. Contact Kelly for more details. You can reach her by email at nshvlpackerclub@hotmail.com

We'll miss you Brett

2008-03-04T11:37:00.003-06:00

Number 4 brought us to our feet more times than we can remember. His passion for the game was unmatched. His enthusiasm spilled over to energize the Packer faithful and show everyone what football is really about. We'll miss you Brett.

End of the road...for this year

2008-01-21T09:01:00.000-06:00

We cheered as loud as we could and up until the very last seconds. Still, it was not to be. The Pack was clearly outplayed throughout most of the game. It's the end of the season, which was a great one at the Scoreboard. More than 100 fans showed up for the NFC Championship game. Our special guest was Dave Hathcock DB for the Packers in 1966 and 1967. He even joined us for the pregame tailgate. We loaded up fire pits, braved the cold and had a great time. But all good things must come to an end. It was a great season. It's just sad it had to end this way. Next up for the club is the Summer Party, which will be held in Joelton at Eric and Katie's house on Saturday, June 21. As usual it's free for members and just $7 for non-members. We'll have more information, including directions later this spring. Until then enjoy these pictures from the day and GO PACK!

Doing it in the snow!

2008-01-13T09:49:00.001-06:00

It started out like a horror show and ended like a damn Disney film, complete with a fairy tale snow storm and a bearded, grizzled and smiling hero: Brett Favre. Along the way we yelled ourselves hoarse and the Scoreboard Bar and Grill literally rocked with 100 loud Packer fans. Thanks to Max and the folks for setting up extra plasma screens for the game. Everyone had the best seat in the house. The party started in the parking lot about three hours before game time with our tailgate. We even had a special tailgate only giveaway. We're doing it all again for the NFC Championship Game and we expect a bigger, rowdier crowd, if that's even possible. The tailgate will officially begin two hours before game time on Sunday. That means the tailgate starts at 3:30pm and the game starts at 5:30pm. Once again anyone can come to the tailgate. It's $7 for non members and free for all members. We had plenty of faces we haven't seen before at the game and that's cool..we keep the doors open to all Packer fans as long as they promise to cheer loudly!

A nice end to regular season-Playoff dates set

2007-12-30T20:57:00.000-06:00

It was great to have a game where you could relax and cheer all day long. About 50 Packer fans joined us at the Scoreboard, including a number of Wisconsin residents passing through for the holidays. The date has been set for the first playoff game Sat., Jan. 12, at 3:30 p.m. CT That means we'll be starting our tailgate outside the Scoreboard Bar and Grill at 1:30pm. It looks like brats and stuff will be on the menu. We ask that people bring a side dish if they can. The tailgate is open to everyone and it's free if you are a member and only $7 per person if you are not.

Ugggh...not again

2007-12-24T12:46:00.000-06:00

The crowd at the Scoreboard had one fun touchdown to cheer about, after that there wasn't much applause. Losing to the Bears sucks, even if the Pack is headed to the playoffs. Many folks were in Wisconsin for the holidays, so we had a smaller crowd. We'll be back next week for the Detroit game, with hopefully much more to cheer about. Don't forget that we'll have a tailgate before the first playoff game. We'll have a more exact time once the times and dates are set.

Nashville Green Bay Packers Bar.

Congrats Brett!

2007-12-17T08:17:00.000-06:00

Another big day for Mr. Favre. Breaking the all time pass yardage record brought a smile to his face, but you know that win was probably just as important to him. We had about 60 people at the Scoreboard for the game. We will be there for the next two regular season games as well. If you are in Nashville for the holidays and looking for somewhere to watch the game, feel free to come down and hang out with us. We will be having a tailgate before each playoff game. As usual members will be free and non-members just $7. We'll have more details on the tailgate once the dates and times are set. For now, keep rolling Packers!

Plenty to cheer about!

2007-12-09T16:40:00.000-06:00

A solid win for the Packers gave everyone reasons to cheer. The push up crew, headed by Dean and Rob, really got a work out with this one. We had more than 70 people at the Scoreboard for the game and many beforehand for the breakfast tailgate. If you didn't get a chance to sample smoked gouda grits, pepper eggs, crispy bacon, moist biscuits and many other fine breakfast treats than you really missed out. We'll see you next week at the Scoreboard.

Well, that was scary

2007-12-01T10:46:00.000-06:00

Texas Stadium must be the entrance to the gates of hell, as far as the Packers are concerned. Brett Favre injured and on the sideline. Aaron Rodgers taking the helm against a 10-1 team. It sounds like a nightmare and it kind of was. You have to give it to Rodgers for making it a real game. I suppose it is nice knowing that he can remain calm and effective under stress. In the end Brett says he should be fine to play against Oakland.

Join us for a tailgate on December 9 in front of the Scoreboard Bar and Grill before the Oakland game. It's free for members and just $7 for everyone else. That price includes lots of food and beer. The tailgate start time is 10am.

Pack Win Again...Good Times at Our Tailgate

2007-11-20T18:42:00.000-06:00

Another solid effort from the Pack. 9-1 certainly feels great. We had more than 60 people on hand at the Scoreboard to cheer the Packers to victory.We had a tailgate party outside the Scoreboard before the game and fun was had by all. Here are some pics.

Viking Stomping!

2007-11-12T06:29:00.000-06:00

The Pack had all their tools available Sunday and it showed. Mr. Favre had 33 of 46 passes completed for 351 yards. Favre joined Dan Marino as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for 60,000 career yards. Grant had a 119 yard running day. It's always nice to see the Vikings get beat, but we haven't seen this sort of thing in years. Perhaps a reminder of the 8-1 start in 1996, and you know where that led. See you next week at 10am in front of the Scoreboard for the tailgate party. Even if you are not a member come and join us, it's just $7 per person for non-members and free as usual for members.

Mile High Favre!

2007-10-30T08:08:00.000-05:00

Brett and his receivers turned an otherwise miserable performance into a real party. It was nice to have Favre shine on Monday Night Football again. You have to hand it to Jennings, Jones and Driver...they had great receptions. Even Grant stepped up for the injured Wynn to show that the Packers could actually have a running game this year. The image of Favre's incredible OT field long pass to win the game may just erase the nasty thoughts about a certain Safety with a video game name who should have been taken out of that game at major penalty two. It would have been nice to see how Holmgren would have reacted to those penalties. Something tells me he would not have been quite as calm at McCarthy. Oh well, Favre is still king of the heart stopping bomb. Long live the king! We'll see you back at the Scoreboard on Sunday. Remember the silent auction is coming up on November 11th and the tailagate on November 18th.

Ugly....but we'll take it.

2007-10-14T16:00:00.000-05:00

Defense stepped up and provided some big last minute plays as the Pack win on a rainy day at Lambeau. The refs certainly had some interesting calls. An ugly win is still a win.

We have free giveaways during half-time. This week prizes included a Packer tote bag, gloves, ear muffs and a Packer Backer License plate.

A reminder that the silent auction is coming up on Nov. 11th. Lisa showed off a bunch of cool stuff that you'll be able to bid on.

Ouch...

2007-10-08T08:15:00.000-05:00

Painful is the only way we can describe that Sunday Night game. It's time to look ahead to next week. See you at the Scoreboard Sunday.

Favre Hits the Record Books...Again!!!!!

2007-10-02T18:52:00.000-05:00

84 Packer fans gathered Sunday to watch Brett Favre head into the record books as the Packers beat the Vikings to keep the undefeated streak going!
