EVENT - BBQ, Bourbon and The Boys
TUESDAY JULY 22, 2025, NEW TIME: 6 PM
Ready for a championship night out? Come meet two of the most iconic Packers of all time—Super Bowl champs, fan favorites, and legends who left it all on the field (and in the end zone).
- Gilbert Brown – The “Gravedigger” himself! Famous for his bone-crushing tackles and signature celebration, Gilbert anchored the Packers D-line like no one else. Plus, his larger-than-life personality makes him an absolute blast to meet.
- Santana Dotson – Smooth, strong, and straight-up dominant on the field. Whether it was sacks or smiles, Dotson delivered. A key piece of that ‘96 Super Bowl run, now back in Wisconsin to hang with the best fans in the league.
Why this event’s a touchdown: Free Meet & Greet, Autographs & Photos, Packers Merch + Memorabilia, Food & Drink Specials All Night, New Outdoor Bourbon Bar + Lake Views = Vibes
