Packers cheeseheads are selling in London for almost THREE times what they cost at home but merch demand is still crazy
GREEN BAY PACKERS fans took over London - and spent some serious cash on merchandise.
The franchise played its first game ever in the UK on Sunday but lost to the New York Giants.
And cheeseheads were on sale in the NFL store at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for an incredible £60.
That works out at $66.50, which is almost three times what they sell for on the Packers online store at $24.99.
The shop sold out of gameday souvenir merchandise before Sunday's game even kicked off.
Green Bay was the only team never to play a game in London before today.

The 31 other franchises had all been part of an International Series game in the UK at least once since 2007.
The Packers had by far the strongest home support ever seen for a London contest.
But the team let a 17-3 lead slip in losing a shocker 27-22 to the Giants.
This was a designated Packers home game, and 90 per cent of the fans in north London were dressed in green and gold.

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdown passes in the loss.
The 38-year-old said on Friday that this trip to London had been a long time coming for the franchise.
Rodgers said: "We’re too big of a draw in the States. So finally, with 17 games we get to come over.
"This has been something that we wanted to do for a long time.
"We have a great fan and we travel well, so it’s hard for teams to want to give up a home game when Green Bay’s coming to town.
"And obviously we play in one of those iconic spots in all of sports at Lambeau Field.
"The London games have always been great - but it’s about time we were here."
