A Sturgeon Bay native and artist was part of a huge mural painting series that featured past and present Green Bay Packer and Minnesota Viking greats on the Sunday Night Football broadcast. Zane Statz, a graphic designer from DePere, and friend Spencer Young worked for ten hours last Wednesday and Thursday to complete the eight-foot-high by 15-foot-long mural for the Sunday Night Football broadcast. The artwork will be one of the twenty murals painted nationally and displayed in Los Angeles for the upcoming Super Bowl in February. Besides NFL legends like Reggie White and Randy Moss,  Statz considered fan-submitted ideas for the mural that included Minnesota native and late musician Prince and a cow wearing a Packer cheesehead.

Statz, a 2010 graduate of Sturgeon Bay High School, painted portraits of Bart Starr on special helmets for the Green Bay Packers' 50th Anniversary of Super Bowl I a few years ago. He also paints the Packer fence across from Lambeau Field every summer leading up to the season.
