The San Francisco 49ers are set to face up against the Green Bay Packers. The second-round wild-card game will take place in Lambeau Field on Sunday. A couple of 49ers are very excited to play in Green Bay. The tight end George Kittle and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk cannot wait to step on Lambeau Field.

Every game in the home ground of the Packers is special, but this particular wild-card round has some pretty high stakes. The oldest stadium in NFL history will be the host of this storied rivalry. The mystique surrounding the stadium is especially intriguing to George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk. 

George Kittle on playing at the Lambeau Field

The last time the 49ers visited Green Bay was in 2018. The tight end George Kittle was in his second season with San Francisco. The 2018 game did not go too well for the 49ers, but Kittle had a good showing. He caught four of his six passes on target for 30 yards. Green Bay won the game with a score of 33-30. Mason Crosby scored a field goal and won it for the Packers.
