WTF

[red]

total classless move by a classless organization

and shows how little class their fans have if the team is scared of something stupid happening

[Cheesehead Craig]

Who cares, the Pack won the damn game... at their place. Suck it Chicago!

[gbgary]

they should have brought the confetti cannons into the lockeroom.

[Deputy Nutz]

I think it is BS. Tough nuts to Chicago they didn't win suck it up and let a team celebrate like all other NFC Champions have done in the past

[esoxx]

Gee, look at that. The Steelers get honored with the AFC Championship trophy on the field, like it's a big deal

We get the NFC Championship trophy in a turkish bath house disguised as the visting locker room at Solider Field.

Gawd I hate the Bears. No class punks.

[green_bowl_packer]

Should bring that trophy with us every time we play in Chicago from now on and display it on the sideline to remind them.

[Scott Campbell]

The Bedpan is so fugly that I'd rather we celebrated in the bowels of their filthy stadium anyway.

[Gunakor]

I've never hated the Bears more than I do today. Ever.

Security concerns? That's the issue? Hire better security guards if that's the case. Demand that the Chicago Police Department do their jobs first and support their team second. Green Bay earned the right to celebrate at the 50 yard line. They earned the right to dance on Chicago's C while America watched. The Green Bay faithful who remained in the stands long after the final whistle blew deserved the right to celebrate with them. Shit just got more personal. I fucking hate the Bears.

yup

[pbmax]

When did they change the trophies? The old ones looked like bookends, but the new one looked like my digital TV receiver.

[GrnBay007]

Really disappointed they pulled that BS in Chicago! Didn't really sink in until I saw the Steelers celebrating on the field with their fans being able to witness it. I feel bad for the Packer fans that were at the game and couldn't do that when they received the trophy. Really, really low class!! I hope there are enough complaints about this that it will never happen again.

They just changed the trophy this year. It's a branding thing. The NFL wanted to update the conference championship trophies to coordinate with and build-up to the Lombardi trophy. I don't like 'em either.

I think the celebration in the lockerroom is a non-issue. Just my opinion.

It's a non issue to me, other than my dream of seeing Thompson and McCarthy holding the Halas trophy while standing on the C in the middle of Soldier Field. I was watching from the climate controlled comfort of my living room sofa. But I'd imagine it may have been somewhat of an issue to the Packer fans that had come down to field level and stayed there for quite awhile after the game was over, in the cold, hoping to share in the celebration like the fans in Pittsburgh were able to. I'd think maybe some of those fans felt a bit cheated. I know that's how I would feel if I were there.

It's the excuse that really bugs me. Security concerns? There were no Bears fans left in Lovie's spaceship. And even if there were, you can't possibly expect me to believe that CPD is ill-equipped to deal with liquored up out of control Bears fans. The celebration should have taken place on the field. That's the way it's done. Had the Bears won the game that's the way it would have happened. Had it been any other NFC opponent the Bears were playing today that's the way it would have happened. But because it's the Packers, all of a sudden stadium security and the Chicago Police Department can't handle it? Bullshit. They're sore losers. Fuck the Bears.
