There’s an upcoming documentary that captures the far-reaching influence of the Green Bay Packers — all the way around the world to Tokyo:
For Wisconsin native Ty Morse, his scheme to bring two dozen Green Bay Packers fans from the heart of Tokyo to Lambeau Field seemed surreal.
“It did not feel real until they arrived at Austin Straubel airport in Green Bay,” Morse told WPR’s “Wisconsin Today.” “When they finally arrived, and then they saw everything was taken care of, that was literally the first moment for me that (I thought), ‘Wow. This is all happening.’”
Morse is one of the central figures in a new documentary following a group of fans dubbed the “Japanese Packers Cheering Team” and their first trip to Green Bay.
…
Morse invited members of the cheering team to travel across the world and stay with two friends in Green Bay. Twenty-four members showed up. Morse said having the fans attend house parties in Green Bay and stay in his friends’ homes was an interesting wrinkle of their experience.
“In Japan, you don’t go to people’s homes often. The homes are small. Home life is very private,” Morse said. “So, I think that the component of hanging out at these homes, having meals with people, having a beer, sitting across the table in somebody’s kitchen or living room, that was a huge part of the bonding experience, as well.”
