    Its also works well for non-weekend games when we don't get there very early.

    You are two blocks from the Stadium and close to a bunch of establishments to enjoy a beverage. BTW, unless you like large, drunk crowds (and sometimes they can be fun) stay away from the Stadium View.

    Someone I know with season tickets stops on the outskirts of town (or even De Pere) to eat and drink. They then drive to their parking spot and walk right into the game. Probably not as much fun as the carnival atmosphere around the stadium, but your stomach and ears will love you for it. With the guaranteed Resch parking spot, you can choose whatever food or watering hole you want and still get close to the stadium at any time.
    Good stuff for anyone attending a game for the first time.

    Packer Hall of Fame is a must as is a Stadium Tour

    I also have fond memories of Caramel at the Oval Office.... scratch that idea ....haha
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    I think it all depends on where you want to tailgate at.

    You should decide if you want to be East or West of the Stadium. I can't tell you much about the West side, that is the new Title Town area. There are a couple of bars on that side of the stadium but that is the side that the Interstate runs by not too far away and the Packers have grabbed all the land there for the Title Town district.

    The East side is where all the bars are. You have Stadium View, The Bar, Anduzzi's, Green Bay Distillery, Brett Favre Steak House. There is a great lot just behind the Green Bay Distillery, that charged $15 per game last year, that is 3 blocks from the stadium and just on the edge of all the bars on that side of Lambeau. They also have plenty of room if you have your own grill and want to cook out.

    Definitely take the stadium tour, see the Hall of Fame and go to the Packers Locker Room "under/below" the stadium.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    We basically treat packer games as our vacation. Have to pay hundreds to get in via ticket broker. So $35 for parking isn't that steep. Supply and demand.

    BTW cheapest single game tix for Browns Packers rn are $70 for nosebleed.

    and so you can compare, parking at Foxboro the last time I was there for the Packers was 60 so even 35 seems like a bargain

    We used to park in people's yards for less than one would in the parking lot or businesses around Lambeau if you don't mind walking a few blocks to the stadium.

    First Packers game I went to we were running late. We were going to arrive a few minutes before kickoff.

    I think there is a fence there now but we drove down what had to be Lombardi Ave (memory of how we walked across to the Stadium), pulled into some guy's yard one space from the sidewalk and parked. There was no time to quibble about where to park, just took the first spot we saw that was close.

    $20

    We were less than a block away from the Stadium Parking lot. Saw them play Boomer and the Jets. Brooks, I think, did a Lambeau leap in our corner of the end zone about 20 rows in front of us.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    It's neither. No one is taking your money. You don't have to go. And it's not inflation; it's a result of increased demand. Parking at 'the pit' in Cleveland for tailgating is still dirt cheap. Most regular parking is inexpensive there too. Enough people are willing to pay more for a choice parking spot at aPacker game. Thus $35.

    Yep. The TitleTown construction has led to the elimination of some former parking spots which has altered the supply/demand. For years I've parked in a vacant lot a couple of blocks north of Lombardi. They charged $15 and wouldn't fill up. Last year they started charging $30 and did fill up. I could park on the street but it's a great tailgating spot.
