Aaron Rodgers says he is “bummed” that the Packers’ preseason opener against the Steelers is not being played at Lambeau Field, which would have been his final trip to the stadium in a Packers uniform. The game is scheduled for Thursday and marks the start of the teams’ preseason slate.
In discussing what he misses about Green Bay, Rodgers highlights personal and sentimental aspects of returning to Lambeau. Multiple outlets report that he lists several things he will miss, but the central point across coverage is his disappointment about the venue. While the reporting focuses on different minor details—some emphasizing his remarks about what he misses, others centering on the Lambeau connection—they all frame the comments as reflection ahead of the Packers-Steelers preseason opener.
Overall, the sources agree that Rodgers’ comments are driven by the lack of a Lambeau appearance, described as a final opportunity for him with the Packers, and that his outlook is shaped by what that home environment represents to him.
