When it snows in Green Bay before a home game, the Packers organization puts out a call for volunteers to come to the stadium and help shovel snow of the bleachers and walkways. I answered that call in what I would say is the best job I've ever had. ($8/hour)
It started at 9 a.m.. About 300 of us were led through the Mills Fleet Farm gate on the south-west side, into a storage area. There we signed in and grabbed a shovel. We came into the stadium on the South side. Make-shift slides were set up to set the snow on and watch it slide down onto the field, where it was scooped up by machines and taken out through the players tunnel. After we had a section done, we'd pick up the "slide" and moved it North. This happened 3 times until we were finished. Before we started, the put this blue stuff on the snow to help break up the ice. Think salt, but blue. It made everything slushy and got in your shoes and soaked your socks. After we were done, we handed in our shovels and got a slip of paper saying we worked, etc. We had to take those to the ticket window outside to get paid. I got a cool $18.
