Events / [09/07/2025] GOPAC GO!
« Last post by Kevin Huang on July 07, 2025, 04:13:30 AM »


The GOPAC3 arrival into Milwaukee General Mitchell Airport snakes through the American heartland and just over arriving O'Hare traffic, and paying homage to the Green Bay Packers, the most exciting thing that exists in all of Wisconsin.

But there's more going on in the Midwest than those Packers, their seemingly perennial quarterback success, and fancy schmancy Super Bowl titles -- the Detroit Lions have risen from the abyss into real contenders, winning 15 games in 2024 for the first time in franchise history. The Minnesota Vikings will debut a new quarterback and try to make the playoffs in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2009. And finally the Chicago Bears are hoping for something, anything good to happen.

In honor of Opening Weekend of the 2025 NFL season, join the Chicago, Minneapolis, and Cleveland ARTCC's in celebrating the toughest, grittiest, most old-fashioned division in the league!
