GREEN BAY—They showed up in their best, and sometimes bizarre, green and gold to show their allegiance to the Green Bay Packers and to audition for a reality show about cheesehead fans.

Producers from Style Network plan to shoot a pilot about the Packers faithful and met with about 80 fans Thursday night at the Stadium View bar near the team’s headquarters at Lambeau Field.

Casting associate Kjerstin Johnson says they’re looking for the most energetic, loudest and passionate fans they can find. The Green Bay Press-Gazette says producers plan to film a pilot before the end of the year.

Fans wore cheeseheads, team jerseys loaded with Packer buttons and plenty of green-and-gold jewelry to the audition.

The Style Network’s shows include “Big Rich Texas” , “Jerseylicious” and “Tia & Tamera.”

a real show about Packer fans and what drives them to be good people and faitful fans would be an awesome show. Another show about the most outrages, loudest, and most obnoxious Americans they can find???? I think we have plenty of those.

Can't be any more useless than Honey Boo Boo or the Kardashians.
