MILWAUKEE-- Packers fans throughout Milwaukee are scrambling to prepare for watch parties before Green Bay plays in San Francisco.

Fans across the state are preparing for a celebration on Sunday, whether that's at home or at the bar.

Management at Uncle Bucks on 3rd near Fiserv Forum believes that the crowd on Sunday night will be similar to their business on New Year's Eve.

"Three floors open, big screen on two floors, music, fun, food," said manager Ricardo Ramos. "We're going to have a blast."

Local residents also flooded grocery stores to stock up before the NFC Championship game.

In West Allis, we spotted fans looking for new gear before Sunday's game. Craig Howard purchased Packers gear for his three-month-old son.

"He's named after one of the best and greatest Packers fans known to Wisconsin. His dad," Howard said.

But nevertheless, fans are confident the Packers will succeed to the Super Bowl in Miami. Scott Fulton has been monitoring flight possibilities.

"Defense is playing better, Aaron Rodgers has zeroed in, we won six in a row, and Rodgers is the only quarterback left who's been to the Superbowl," Fulton said.
