The call went out seeking Green Bay Packers fans born in October, November, or December 1967, and those fans answered in a big way.

The Green Bay Press Gazette had reported that House Casting of New York wanted "die-hard Packers fans" born during those months to appear in the NFL's Super Bowl 50 commercial.

House Casting followed up Wednesday morning to say the agency has been inundated with responses, and the casting of the commercial is now closed.

So what role might these 48-year-old Packers fans play in the commercial? You'll have to wait until the Super Bowl to find out.

In case you forgot, the Packers won the first Super Bowl in 1967, defeating the Kansas City Chiefs at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Super Bowl 50 will be held Feb. 7 in Santa Clara, Calif.

I remember and you ought to show up for the commercial regardless!

Packers should have also asked for those fans who remember and those who were at the game.

So, they want kids born 9 months after the first super bowl? What are they trying to say about Green Bay fans?

And for all the hype about Super Bowl 50, its the 50th Super Bowl, but is the 49th anniversary of the Super Bowl as the “world championship” of American football.

13 overall World Championships.
4 Super Bowls
5 consecutive NFC North Division titles
16 out of the last 20 years in the playoffs.

Shouldn’t they be looking for the children born about 9 months AFTER the first superbowl win?
That would be funny and make a lot more sense!

Sorry, I see my mistake, please ignore.
