Packers players, fans to celebrate at rally

[February 08, 2011]  GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- Packers fans will finally get the chance to celebrate with the Super Bowl champions at a rally at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.

The city of Green Bay -- and the entire state of Wisconsin -- has been ecstatic since the Packers narrowly defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in Arlington, Texas, to win their fourth Super Bowl title.

The Packers have invited the public to a massive celebration at Lambeau Field late Tuesday afternoon. The gathering figures to be an emotional catharsis for everyone.

Fans lined the streets Monday to glimpse the Packers' motorcade as it returned from Austin Straubel International Airport to Lambeau Field, but the players didn't make any formal personal appearances.
