Dating back to 1958, St. Norbert College has hosted the Green Bay Packers for training camp started under Packers Coach Scooter Mclean and remains the longest partnership between a college and NFL franchise. This half century old partnership has become a tradition for rookies to "earn their keep" and gives veterans a chance to show their comradery. It is a highly cherised tradition not only between St. Norbert and the Packers, but within the community as well. Included in this exhibit are photos and stories that showcase the Green Bay Packers' stay at St. Norbert for trainging camp during the Lombardi era.
Currently, Players stay in Victor McCormick Hall and make a 6.62-mile, 11 minute, trip to the facilities at Lambeau Field every day for practice.
