The former Philadelphia center toured Green Bay’s stadium with his dad ahead of the Monday matchup between the Eagles and the Packers. Jason was in Wisconsin to cover the game for ESPN.

He shared the story on Wednesday to his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

"The owners are the fans, and it's just, it's a very special place," Jason said (13:58), via the "New Heights" podcast. "It's incredible to go see.

"I got to shout out Diane, our tour guide. Diane, was amazing. So much energy. Dad didn't wear his hearing aid. So that was a complete f*cking debacle. But the whole thing was outstanding. And she was just a great person, and you could tell how big a fan she was of the Packers and the NFL in general."

Lambeau Field opened in 1957. Green Bay operates under a community ownership model, with local fans holding public stock.

"They've done a great job of showcasing all this history," Kelce said on Wednesday, via "New Heights." "There's Heisman trophies, Vince Lombardi trophies, pictures, old newspapers. And then the stadium itself is from 1957, and they've added on obviously, since then.
"But the tunnel that I walked out as a player is the same tunnel that current Lambeau freaking walked out of. And it's really, really cool to take in all that history and then go and watch a game there."

Kelce spent time outside the stadium chatting with fans and filming pregame content. He joined Peyton Manning for a "changing places" feature. They swapped uniforms and roles for laughs, a segment that aired before kickoff.

Kelce also appeared on ABC’s pregame coverage from Lambeau Atrium. He predicted that the Eagles would beat the Packers thanks to the extra rest from their bye week. Philadelphia proved him right as the team defeated Green Bay 10-7.
