Photos From The Green Bay Packers vs Arizona Cardinals 2011 NFL Football Game.

The NFL football season is under way. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the Green Bay Packers first home preseason game of the 2011 season at Lambeau Field. The Packers defeated the Arizona Cardinals 28-20. The Packers won the Super Bowl last year, so expectations are high for this year’s team. Check back throughout season as I blog about my favorite photos from each home game.

Preseason games can be a little boring to watch and a little boring for a sports photographer. Before the game started, I looked for some features as I entered the stadium and was happy with a couple that I found. The vibe outside of Lambeau wasn’t as electric as it can be before a regular season game. I did find one of my favorite features as I headed to our work area: a photo of a vendor wearing a Rodgers jersey, just taking in the empty stadium. As for action photos, it was a little meek. The starters only played a few series and then it was musical chairs of young players trying to make the team.

Thanks for looking!
