Sunday, September 7 starting at 2pm
Get ready for the ultimate game-day experience! Join us on Sunday, September 7th, as we kick off football season with a thrilling double feature. At 2:00 p.m., enjoy a special presentation of The Nine Devines. This deeply personal memoir by A. Darius Husain, co-authored by Deacon Devine—a proud member of the Chippewa community—explores former Green Bay Packers’ coach Dan Devine and his early years in Chippewa Falls, the struggles his family faced, and the impact of his rise to football greatness. Deacon Devine brings a unique perspective rooted in his Chippewa heritage, enriching the narrative with cultural depth and a strong sense of place. The book captures the resilience and strength that defined both Devine’s coaching career and his family’s journey, making it a compelling story of perseverance and legacy. The authors will bring historical items for viewing. Plus, they will be on hand to sell and sign books.
Then, at 3:25 p.m., the Green Bay Packers take on the Detroit Lions in their first regular-season game, broadcast live on the Heyde Center’s big screen. Whether you're a die-hard Packers fan or just love the electric atmosphere of game day, this is the place to be. No need to watch on an empty stomach—we’ve got you covered with concessions, including beer, wine, soft drinks, and delicious food items like pulled pork sandwiches, Sokup’s hotdogs, and other snacks. Gather your crew, grab a seat, and let's cheer the Packers to victory! You won’t want to miss it.
No cost for entry, and concessions will be available for sale.
