Myles Turner might not yet be a full-on cheesehead but he’s getting awfully close.
One trip to Lambeau Field does that even to a Dallas Cowboys fan.
“Lambeau Field is ELECTRIC!,” the new Milwaukee Bucks center wrote on X after taking in the Packers’ 27-18 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday night, Sept. 11. “Great Experience & I Highly Recommend.”
Turner, who grew up in a suburb of Fort Worth, Texas, before playing college basketball at the University of Texas, made it clear that the Dallas Cowboys are his first love.

But Turner will pull for the Packers when they aren’t playing the Cowboys. So, come Sept. 28 when the Packers and Cowboys meet at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, Turner won’t be seen wearing that cheesehead he was sporting in Green Bay.
But on this night, he was all green and gold.
Turner had a custom cheesehead made for him that read “Myles” on the back.
And he had a teammate to enjoy the game with in his suite: AJ Green. The Bucks guard also wore a cheeshead that included his Dairy Bird nickname.
Before the game, Turner took in the sights and sounds on the field.
“First Lambeau Field experience, man,” Turner said on the Packers’ official X account. “It’s the place to be right now. Shoutout Green Bay.”
Turner and Green weren’t the only sports stars from Milwaukee at Lambeau Field.

Several members of the Milwaukee Brewers were there and on the field pre-game. Joey Ortiz and Caleb Durbin were even wearing white cheeseheads to celebrate the Packers’ “Winter Warning” whiteout game.
The Bucks and Brewers met up for photos on the field.
Turner, signed by the Bucks in a massive free agent deal this summer, arrived in Milwaukee last week and quickly started immersing himself into the community, seeking out recommendations for local hotspots from fans on social media.
And now it doesn’t get any more Wisconsin than a Packers game at Lambeau Field while wearing a cheesehead.
