Despite the weather, there is a fair number of excited fans watching the game. Fans say they couldn't wait to get back to their normal drinks, food, and fun during Packers game.

While many fans at Deer District say there aren't as many people out as there have been in years before COVID-19, they are still happy to be celebrating.
