‘PROJECT PLAY 60’ SET FOR MARCH 15 IN LAMBEAU FIELD ATRIUM, LEGENDS CLUB
Free event focuses on physical activity; event accessed through Oneida Nation Gate
‘Project Play 60’, the Packers’ event that was formerly known as Project LEAP, is set for Saturday, March 15, 2014. The free community event is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will take place in both the Lambeau Field Atrium and the Legends Club on the fourth floor.
The Miller Lite Gate is currently being renovated, so guests attending Project Play 60 should enter the Atrium through the Oneida Nation Gate on the stadium’s east side. Attendees should park in the lot on Lambeau Field’s east side near the Oneida Nation Gate, which can be accessed off Oneida Street and Lombardi Avenue.
Project Play 60 is focused on getting kids out of the house to enjoy non-strenuous physical activity.
In addition to the popular inflatables, climbing walls, bungee trampolines and face painting, the day will feature entertainment by the Chicago Boyz Acrobatic Team, a professional gymnastics group that was featured as a semifinalist on America’s Got Talent. The group is scheduled to perform six times starting at 10 a.m., followed by a meet-and-greet after each performance.
