Packers QB Aaron Rodgers Gets Street Named After Him

Minnesota Avenue on Green Bay’s northeast side was renamed Aaron Rodgers Drive on Thursday morning to honor the Packers quarterback.

It was one of the city’s cheerleading gestures for Sunday’s game between the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings, the new team for former Packers quarterback Brett Favre.

“No more Minnesota Avenue,” Mayor Jim Schmitt declared as he and Department of Public Works employee John Krock replaced the street sign at the corner of East Shore Drive and Aaron Rodgers Drive, near the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary.

The short dead-end street will revert to its previous name Monday.

Afterwards, Rodgers plans to autograph the sign, and it will be donated to charity, Schmitt said.

Also Thursday, Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak and Schmitt agreed on a bet of local food and beer based on the outcome of Sunday’s game between the Packers and Vikings.
