Five NEWisco residents nominated for Packers Fan Hall of Fame

GREEN BAY, WI- (WGBW) – Ten finalists have been chosen for the 2024 Packers Fan Hall of Fame. Five of them hail from Northeast Wisconsin.

A committee with the Packers organization chooses the nominees after receiving essays on why they should be recognized. This year, Bonduel, Combined Locks, Manawa, Pound, and Pulaski fans are nominated.

They are Regan Bucholz of Bonduel, Lori Coonen of Combined Locks, Ken Groholski of Manawa, John Brosig of Pound, and Scott Schwartz of Pulaski. 

Other Wisconsin nominees are Paul Gasper of Onalaska and Bill Port of New Berlin.

The nominees also include three out-of-state fans from Illinois, Florida, and New Jersey.

The Green Bay Packers are the first professional football team to have a Hall of Fame. They added the Packers Fan Hall of Fame in 1998. 

The nominee receiving the most votes each year is named the honorary fan and is inducted into the FAN Hall of Fame. In recognition of being selected to the FAN Hall of the Fame, the winner receives four club seats to a Packers home game, including four pre-game sideline passes, four passes to the Packers Hall of Fame, a $500 Packers Pro Shop gift card, custom Packers jersey; and a one-year subscription to PackersNews.com.

Voting is now open. The deadline to vote is 11:59 on January 31. The winner will be selected in late February. Each person who votes will be entered into a random drawing to win Packers merchandise.
