Peek Into a Packers Superfan’s Man Cave

For many football fans, creating a man cave is more than just setting up a TV and a recliner — it’s about curating a space that embodies their passion for the game and their team. For Roarke Moody, a dedicated Green Bay Packers fan from Franklin, Wisconsin, his man cave isn’t just a retreat; it’s a shrine to the team that stole his heart when he was just eight years old. And though he spends home games at Lambeau field, his man cave is the perfect place to enjoy away games among his memorabilia.

The Journey to Packers Fandom

Moody’s devotion to the Packers began during a fateful Monday Night Football game in December 2003. As an eight-year-old in Indiana, he watched in awe as Brett Favre delivered an unforgettable performance playing through emotional pain the day after his father’s passing. That game, coupled with iconic moments like the Packers’ dominant win over the Broncos and Al Harris’s playoff pick-six against Seattle, cemented Moody’s love for the green and gold.

Years later, a move to Wisconsin solidified his connection to the team. With the blessing of his fiancée, Moody’s Packers man cave came to life.

A Collector’s Dream

Moody began collecting Packers memorabilia at the age of nine, starting with trading cards, jerseys, and autographs. Today, his collection is a testament to his unwavering fandom.

One of his most cherished pieces is a set of items signed by Bart Starr. Moody had sent photos and a mini helmet to Starr’s Alabama home, and Starr not only signed them but also included a thoughtful note. Another standout is his collection of items signed by Clay Matthews, including a canvas highlighting Matthews’ Packers Hall of Fame induction ceremony — an event Moody attended in person.

Even with an enviable collection, Moody continues to explore the autograph circuit, keeping his man cave fresh with new treasures.

Football Weekends in Style

Watching football is the centerpiece of Moody’s man cave experience. While he used to dedicate 16 hours every weekend to both college and NFL games, life’s responsibilities — homeownership and wedding planning — have scaled that time commitment back. Still, Moody carves out time to cheer for his beloved USC Trojans and, of course, the Packers.

His game-day rituals are as consistent as a Packers playoff appearance. Whether at home or attending games at Lambeau Field, Moody dons the same jersey and hat, along with a pair of limited-edition Packers Nikes. For home games, his two-hour drive to Green Bay includes listening to pregame coverage on 97.3 The Game and a stop at Buffalo Wild Wings in De Pere.

Becoming a Packers season ticket holder was a long-awaited dream. Moody first put his name on the list in 2012, anticipating the expansion of Lambeau’s south end zone. His patience paid off this year when he received his tickets for the Green Package, granting him access to nearly all home games. Whether attending solo or with family, Moody relishes every moment at Lambeau Field.

Advice for Aspiring Man Cave Builders

When it comes to creating the perfect man cave, Moody has one piece of advice: “Find a great wife.” Her support in allowing him to design his Packers haven was instrumental in bringing his vision to life.

For those looking to emulate his success, Moody’s story highlights the importance of incorporating personal touches and lifelong passions into your space. Whether it’s treasured memorabilia, comfortable seating, or a carefully crafted game-day routine, a man cave should reflect your personality and interests.

Roarke Moody’s man cave isn’t just a room; it’s a living tribute to two decades of Packers fandom. From his collection of autographs to the rituals that make every game day special, Moody has created a space that’s as legendary as the team he loves. For anyone dreaming of building their own sanctuary, his journey serves as both inspiration and a blueprint for turning passion into purpose.

So, as Moody would say: GO PACK GO!
