Green Bay, Wisconsin: A massive snowstorm is barreling toward Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region, and it may force the NFL to reschedule or delay the highly anticipated Thanksgiving clash between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the storm is expected to bring intense lake-effect snow and wind gusts up to 50 mph, significantly affecting travel, visibility, and stadium accessibility at Ford Field in Detroit. While Ford Field is a domed stadium, heavy snowfall on the roof and frozen pathways around the venue are posing major operational challenges.
❗️NWS Warning: “Travel on Wednesday and Thanksgiving Day across the U.P. and Detroit may be life-threatening due to snow squalls and high winds. Sporting events should consider schedule adjustments.”
With 2 to 3 feet of snow expected in parts of Michigan and surrounding states, game-day logistics such as gate opening times, broadcast scheduling on FOX, and team travel plans are all being re-evaluated.
