The inaugural Packers Fan Fest begins tonight and the lineup is set.
The event's kickoff ceremony begins at 7 p.m. in the Lambeau Field Atrium, followed by Bart Starr and Ron Wolf autograph sessions, as well as a reception and entertainment.
Additionally, the Green Bay Packers' 2004 Highlight Film, "Belief Within," will premiere Friday night to kick off Fan Fest. Lambeau Field's TundraVision video boards will broadcast the film. The indoor club seats on the Associated Bank Club Level will be open to view the film. It chronicles the '04 season as the Packers capture a third straight NFC North title. Included are highlights mixed with locker room speeches by Head Coach Mike Sherman and radio calls from the Packers Radio Network. Produced by NFL Films, it is narrated by Robb Webb.

Food and drink will be available for purchase at Curly's Pub and Atrium eateries, and fans will be able to "take a break," if needed, in the indoor club seat area on the fourth floor, as well as at tables and chairs located in the north balcony on the fourth floor.
