Those in attendance were not just celebrating the Packers but also a birthday.

“It feels good,” said Brett, who turned 46. “I can't ask for anything better when they come over to celebrate two things at one time. That makes it. That's the best feeling in it that a person can have.”

Brett was even so kind enough to let over an Eagles fan—well, not quite.

“I lost in fantasy football last year, so this is my punishment,” said RJ Rogaczewski.

RJ is still a diehard Packers fan, despite wearing a different shade of green just for the night.

It’s a night that Brett will remember for a long time, surrounded by the ones he loves.

“We got all family here,” said Brett. “We have friends. It's better than sitting in a bar. We got everything you want out here.”
