Is Wisconsin's love affair with the Green Bay Packers dying?
Probably not.
But, the charity softball game slated for next Sunday at Miller Park has been canceled due to lack of interest.
Several members of the Packers were to take part in the July 16 game. Defensive end Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila was scheduled to captain the "Greatest Hits" team and will be joined by teammates Colin Cole, Patrick Dendy, Cullen Jenkins, Michael Montgomery, Corey Williams and 2006 first-round draft pick A.J. Hawk. Twelve-year veteran fullback William Henderson was to serve as captain of the "Big Hitters" with a supporting cast of Junius Coston, Najeh Davenport, Samkon Gado, Noah Herron, Vonta Leach, Will Whitticker and Chaz Williams.
Fans who purchased tickets online or via phone will be contacted by the Brewers to arrange their refunds. Those who bought tickets at Miller Park should return to the box office for refunds.
