Packers Morning Buzz: Trying to find an undrafted gem

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers and the NFL from around the web and here at PackersNews.com. Grab a strong cup of coffee and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers.

We’ll start with Rich Ryman’s look at the ongoing saga between the Chicago Bears and Packers fans on the sideline at Soldier Field, especially a couple in particular.

From Rich:

Whether Van Ehrenkrook was the cause for the jersey ban or the Bears' sensitivity to promoting the other side got to be too much, the Bears began warning fans in advance about apparel.

His co-workers, who were all Bears fans, said the Bears added the prohibition because of him. The co-workers called it "Chris' rule."

Von Ehrenkrook became a Bears season ticket holder in 1982 because getting Packers tickets was difficult. A friend was moving from the area and, the Bears, who at the time were pretty awful and had not yet begun their climb to a Super Bowl XX victory in 1986, allowed fans to transfer tickets to non-family members.

Von Ehrenkrook, who is 58, moved to the Chicago area with his family in the early 1960s, when the Packers were the toast of the NFL and the Bears were mostly not. He was young and the Packers were really good, so he imprinted.

Beckman, who lives in Green Bay, had a similar, though not identical experience. He tried to use Bears personal seat license reward points to get onto the field before a Packers-Bears game in 2016 and was denied. He believes that was a violation of his free speech and equal treatment of the laws rights because he contends Soldier Field is a public, not private, facility.
