Packers vs. Vikings: A tear and wear rivalry

Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 1:45 AM



The idea was simple: wear a Favre jersey during Monday night's Packers-Vikings game and drink free if you wear it - or tear it.

Alan Tolzmann, co-owner of Arena Sports Bar & Night Club in La Crosse, Wis., said the idea was inspired by an Eau Claire, Wis., bar where the plan was to ceremonially burn a Favre jersey during the game.

"We wanted to do something like that," Tolzmann said, "but we didn't want the fire department down here."

Arena's owners came up with an idea fueled by the intense rivalry between the NFL football teams:

Vikings fans could wear a Favre jersey and drink free during the first quarter.
