What a day for the Green Bay Packers

Day 2 of 2 in Green Bay covering a great celebration of the Green Bay Packers win at Super Bowl XLV. The Packers hosted a big shindig at Lambeau Field, but I had tons of time to shoot other stuff before it started.

The sun rises over Green Bay, Wis., the home of Super Bowl XLV champion Green Bay Packers, Tuesday morning, Feb. 8, 2011.

Green Bay Packers-styled formal wear sits in a display window at DuBois, a store on Military Avenue in Green Bay, Tuesday morning. (ed's note: You really can't make this stuff up. Only in Green Bay.)

Michael "Doc" Doyle, a tattoo artist with Doc's Tattoo in Medford, Wis., spray paints "Welcome to Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood" on a giant pile of plowed snow in front of Lambeau Field along South Oneida Street prior to "Return to Titletown," a celebration of the Green Bay Packers’ victory in Super Bowl XLV, in Green Bay, Tuesday afternoon.
