GREEN BAY, Wis. – Green Bay Athletics is excited to welcome the Green Bay Blizzard and Green Bay Packers for Football Night on Thursday, February 23 at the Kress Center. Green Bay basketball will hold a doubleheader starting at 5:30 pm when the Green Bay women's team takes on Cleveland State. The GB men will battle the Vikings at 8 p.m. with both games in the Kress Center. 

Several Packers alumni - including offensive lineman Junius Coston, wide receiver Chris Francies, and Super Bowl XLV Champion Jarrett Bush - will be in attendance. Fans can enjoy special football-themed promotions during the night, including an autograph session in between games with Coston, Francies, and Bush. 

Coston, a versatile offensive lineman, played with the Green & Gold from 2005-07, tallying 16 games played and seven starts. Francies graduated from Texas El-Paso - the same institution current Packers running back Aaron Jones was drafted out of - while appearing in eight games with the Packers from 2006-07. Francies is married to Chandra Johnson-Francies, who is a 1,000-point scorer for the Green Bay Phoenix and played professionally for the LA Sparks. Bush spent his nine-year career in Titletown, winning Super Bowl XLV in February 2011. He intercepted Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and helped seal the title with a pass deflection.
