Eight months after the Green Bay Packers’ season ended on a cold January night in Chicago, many members of the team were back at Soldier Field on a hot September night.
But this wasn’t for a football game.
Several Packers were in the Windy City for Night 2 of Ye’s homecoming concert in Chicago.
The controversial rapper formerly known as Kanye West performed inside the Chicago Bears‘ stadium and brought 15 special guests with him to play before 70,000 fans.
Among the fans in attendance were Packers players Jordan Love, Micah Parsons, Evan Williams, Lukas Van Ness, Tyrod Taylor, MarShawn Lloyd, Dani-Dennis Sutton, Barryn Sorrell and others.
Parsons took a group shot with his squad, while calling Ye the goat, in his Instagram Story.
“Great night in chi town with some great guys!!” Parsons wrote on Instagram, surrounded by his Packers teammates.
The concert was pretty great, too, according to the Packers’ star edge rusher.
“I don’t think I can go to another concert after Kanye!!!” Parsons wrote on X. “Greatest concert and variety I have ever seen!”
Sutton, the rookie from Penn State who has developed a close friendship with Parsons, echoed his mentor.
“One of the greatest performances ever,” he wrote on Instagram.
The two-night Chicago concert continues Ye’s tour across the country in 2026, the first time he’s performing in the United States in five years following his history of antisemitic remarks.
And the Chicago shows are especially noteworthy since he grew up on the city’s south side.
His return to touring in the US comes after he was barred this year from entering the United Kingdom after backlash over his antisemitic rants.
On Night 2, when the Packers attended, Ye was joined by the likes of 2 Chainz, Rick Ross, Don Toliver, Travis Scott, Common, Kid Cudi and more for a 60-song, three-hour concert.
Parsons added that he was “still in shock!!” by the entire event.
Social media caught Jordan Love and Parsons leaving the stadium:
The Packers won’t be back in Chicago for football until late in the season when they play Caleb Williams and the reigning NFC North champion Bears on Christmas during Week 16.
