Packers Calendar: Annual Team-Building Exercise
According to a report, Packers players will go bowling on Wednesday.
On the second of a three-day minicamp in Green Bay, the Packers appear to be holding their annual team-building event, according to local media:
#Packers won't practice today. They're having a private team event. Minicamp wraps up with 11:30 a.m. Thursday practice.

Practice wasn't scheduled to be open to the public on Wednesday in any event.
Every year, Mike McCarthy plans a fun event for his players to build team chemistry.
There's been no official indication of what Wednesday's event might be, but Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports that the plan was to take the team bowling:
As expected, the #Packers are not practicing today. Instead, they are holding a private team function. The plan was to take them bowling.

In previous years, the team has also gone clay-pigeon shooting and played dodgeball.
The official website of the Packers still lists that McCarthy will hold a press conference at 1:35 p.m. CT to be streamed live, but it's unclear whether that will happen or not with the change in plans.
UPDATE: Packers.com has provided video of the Packers at a local bowling alley in a "cosmic bowling" atmosphere.
