Inbox: It’s a distinct possibility

Benjamin from Burlington, VT

No question today, just wanted to take an opportunity to say “Thanks a Brazilian” for what you guys do.

You and all else who sent in a similar joke, please see yourselves out.

Do we know what time the game will be played in Brazil? Who would have thought there would be a conflict with a Packers game when making plans for a Friday night in early December.

I assume you mean September, and I also assume it’ll be a primetime game starting in the 6-7 p.m. range, Wisconsin time (8-9 p.m. range, Brazil time), give or take.

Bom dia, Insiders! Some info the São Paulo game: The playing field is a mixture of natural grass with interwoven synthetic fibers, very similar to many NFL fields. September is dry season here, rain should not be a concern, BYNK. Temperature-wise, be prepared for anything between 60 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit (it´s South America, people). And, by the way, North, Central and South America are part of the American continent. We´re all Americans…

Appreciate the knowledge. I’d like it noted now I could do without 90 degrees, thank you.

Spoff, are there good brews in Brazil? Do you intend to find out?

If granted the opportunity, for sure.

Wes’s comments about Arena Corinthians led me to do some research. Normally with a capacity of about 47,000, the stadium was apparently augmented during the 2014 World Cup to seat about 18,000 more (total 65,000). Any thoughts on whether they would add those extra seats again for a Packers game?

I’m curious myself. I would imagine it’s a distinct possibility.

II, prior to announcing that the Packers would be playing in Brazil it was often mentioned that the Packers are one of the two most popular teams in Brazil. What is the other team?

Miami has laid claim to Brazil as an international home market through the NFL’s initiative, so I assume it’s the Dolphins? If not, I don’t know. And to fend off the next round of questions, the Packers have not claimed any individual international home market to date because the fan base is spread so worldwide.

Could you guys please clarify which local TV markets will be allowed to watch the Brazil game for free? Is it just Green Bay; Green Bay and Milwaukee, all of WI, or something else?
