Packers facilities manager Todd Edlebeck told the Green Bay Press-Gazettethat 450 people helped with shoveling, but nearly 800 were told they had to leave.
It takes about four hours to clear snow from the stadium bowl. Fans were paid $10 per hour -- that's $2 more per hour than last year.
Some say it's a great way to make extra money. Others just wanted a chance to work a day inside Lambeau Field.
Edlebeck said the turnout was awesome.
