In addition, we were one of those Chicago-area families who would escape to Northern Wisconsin (Eagle River) every chance we got, and always thought it was cool there was an NFL team in the northern part of Wisconsin. I moved to Wausau in 1996, and I and 2 brothers have Gold Package season tickets. They still live in Illinois, and make the trek to Green Bay twice a year for the Gold package regular season games.
