It turns out Ronika Stone Love isn’t just really good at playing professional volleyball, she’s also a natural at interviewing Green Bay Packers fans.
Ahead of the “Thursday Night Football” game against the Washington Commanders at Lambeau Field, “NFL on Prime Video” sent out the wife of Packers quarterback Jordan Love to chat up fans, and she didn’t disappoint. Not when she covered Spotted Cow, cheese curds, Bears fans and a giant mouse all in one outing.
Fashionably dressed in head-to-toe white for the team’s “Unite and Wear White” game, Stone Love was on a mission of “hopping around some tailgates” to get to know fans. Among her finds was Mick, a Cheesehead-wearing mouse statue that once resided at a cheese factory but has been coming to Packers games for the last 12 or 15 years.
At one tailgate, a fan had a message for her to pass along to her husband: “Make sure you tell pookie after the game that he did a good job, because I already know he’s going to do a good job.” (Love threw for 292 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the 27-18 win over the Commanders, so he clearly wasn’t wrong.)
At another stop, Stone Love ran through a list of things, including curds, Spotted Cow beer and the Lambeau Leap, and asked a fan if they were overrated or underrated. (Let’s pretend we didn’t hear his answer to the first two.)
There was a heartfelt find, too. A father talked about how his family has been donating his late son’s seasons tickets to other families for the last 13 years, including two nights hotel lodging, $1,000 to spend while in Green Bay and a tailgate party in their honor.
Stone Love even snagged herself a custom Mick the mouse can cooler. “Only at Lambeau Field,” she said.
Judging by the comments section of the Instagram post, fans wouldn’t mind if she made navigating the Weber grills and crocheted beer can hats a regular gig at Packers home games. Among those who chimed in was Frankie Bakhtiari, wife of former Packers offensive takle David Bakhtiari. “KILLED IT,” she wrote.
