The sale is taking place earlier than in previous years, due to the construction at Lambeau Field and the work that the Pro Shop team must complete in preparation for the new store, which will open this summer. Visitors to Lambeau Field should enter the Atrium through the Oneida Nation Gate. Parking is available in the lot on Lambeau Field’s east side near the Oneida Nation Gate, which can be accessed off Oneida Street and Lombardi Avenue.
The sale will feature the traditional mix of Pro Shop items greatly reduced in price and other special purchases.
The team’s football operations staff also has provided Packers team apparel no longer in use, including a large assortment of t-shirts, shorts, jackets, jerseys and pants. Some items are practice-worn gear not normally available in the Pro Shop.
The tent sale began in 1994 in the parking lot outside the former Pro Shop on the north end of Lambeau Field and grew into a popular event. Now in its 11th year in the Atrium, the tent sale also was held in the west side stadium concourse in previous years.

Tuesday, the first day of the 2014 Packers Tailgate Tour came to a close with a tailgate party in Escanaba, benefitting Lakestate Industries.
The Green Bay Packers continued on the Tailgate Tour, stopping at Renaissance Assisted Living Community and Bellin in Marinette. The traveling party played Bunko with residents.
Packers.com presents 'Prospect Primer,' a video look at an assortment of draft-eligible players who attended the scouting combine in Indianapolis. Missouri's E.J. Gaines intercepted five passes last season despite missing a couple of midseason games due to injury, almost double his career total of three interceptions coming into 2013. Gaines was a first-team all-conference selection in two different leagues in college, earning the honor in the Big 12 as a sophomore in 2011 and then in the SEC as a senior in 2013 after Missouri switched conferences.
