His Harvey home is full of memorabilia

HARVEY -- Green Bay native, Fran Hyska, has been hosting a Super Bowl party in his basement for the past 45 years.  He calls his Harvey basement 'Packerville,' and if you take a look at it, it's no surprise why.  It's filled with Packer memorabilia and Packer fans, constantly.

It suits the theme of this year's Super Bowl where the Packers faced the Pittsburgh Steelers.

But there's something special about Hyska's party--he says the best way to watch the big game is to eat some game.

Those who attend have to bring something they hunted for a Super Bowl snack.

"Partridge, pheasant, all kinds of fish, there's also fish chowder, venison, and we got a special this year--it's rabbit, squirrel, and venison stew and you got to try some really," said Hyska.

(...maybe next year.)

Hyska says whether the Packers make it to the Super Bowl or not, he'll always host a party in 'Packerville.'
