Schools dismissed early Monday and people took off work so they could see the team as it traveled from Austin Straubel International Airport to Lambeau Field.

Seventeen-year-old Ashley Ellis and her friend, 18-year-old Erica Christensen of suburban Milwaukee drove to Green Bay at 5 a.m. Monday to stake out a spot for the team's welcome home parade and buy Packers Super Bowl gear.

The team also plans a giant rally at the stadium Tuesday. The Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 31-25 to win the Super Bowl on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.
