Posters Game - Tailgate Party Details

[GBRulz]

PACKERS VS BEARS SUNDAY OCTOBER 7, 2007

After speaking with the organizers of both America's Pack Tailgate Party (held in the BF Steakhouse parking lot) and Fuzzy's Tailgate Party (held in Bart Starr Plaza outside of the Resch Center), I finally have all the details set for our gathering. I was originally going to let you guys vote on which tailgate party that we attend, but since America's Pack will not let us in without purchasing tickets in advance, I don't think that is an option for us. Besides, I think Fuzzy's will work out better because first of all, it's closer to the stadium, plus it's right next to scalpers alley, for those that may be interested in getting a ticket for the game.

We will officially meet inside the gates of the tailgate party at 4:15 p.m. (Gates open 3 hrs prior to the game). You can buy your ticket at the entrance for $25 (or $45 if you want the VIP package, see link below for the two differences).

FUZZY'S HAS OFFERED US A $5 PER PERSON DISCOUNT IF WE BUY 10 PASSES IN ADVANCE. ANYONE THAT IS ABSOLUTELY 100% COMMITTED AND IS INTERESTED IN DOING THIS, PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA PM. I WILL PROVIDE FURTHERS DETAILS.

Here is the link for complete information on the two different tailgate parties. I've spoken to a few of you and it seems the majority is happy with the standard party vs the VIP party.

http://www.titletowntickets.com/tailgate_party/

By far the majority of you have indicated that you would much rather attend an organized outdoor tailgate like this vs having to bring chairs, coolers, grills, food, beer and cleaning it all up.

WANT TO START THE PARTY BEFORE FUZZY'S ?
Immediately surrounding the area of our tailgate party are three sports bars who all have outdoor tents set up for drinks, food, live music, etc. If some of you want to meet earlier to get a chance to walk around and experience all of this, we can certainly set up a meeting spot and time to do so. In fact, I recommend that we meet at 3:00 p.m. at the tent outside Stadium View. Then around 4, we walk over to Fuzzy's tailgate party. Walking around and seeing all the different parties going on is half the fun! People always walk all over the place with open containers, but I noticed this year that the city put up signs all over the place condemning open intoxicants outside of gated areas. Not sure if they will be enforcing this or not. They haven't in the past.

PARKING
Expect to fork out $25-$30 per vehicle for parking. Some of you (PIP) don't have to worry about this because your hotel is within walking distance. For others, you may want to speak to fellow rats about car-pooling or something if you want to save a few bucks.

For those that want to do stadium tours or see the HOF, these fill up very quickly on home game weekends. I don't think they take reservations, so you are pretty much on your own to do that. I know most everyone will be in town on Sat already and some will want to do the "tourist" things and others will not. We can talk amongst each other to see about perhaps getting together for things on Sat. I'm always up for going to the casino :lol:

DON'T HAVE GAME TICKETS BUT STILL WANT TO TAILGATE? There are alot of you in the same boat. So, after the tailgate party, we'll just walk over to an area sports bar and watch it on TV. Now, I can certainly understand people flying in from out of state not wanting to do this, but for those of us within a couples hours drive, it's not a big deal. On that note, Joemailman, BF4MVP, JustinHarrell, DigitalDean, etc... there is no excuse why your asses should not be at this tailgate party!!! :lol:

Anyhow, I think that's about it. If you have any questions at all about the area, fee free to drop me a PM.

[it's right next to scalpers alley, for those that may be interested in getting a ticket for the game.
Yuck...Scalpers' Alley is pretty much my least favorite place ever..

The rest of the thread is good though :wink:

[oregonpackfan]

Re: HOF and stadium tours, I took my HOF and stadium tour on the Monday morning after attending the Sunday night game.

The HOF was virtually deserted and the tour consisted of just me and two guides.

So if you are still around Green Bay Monday morning, you might give this time frame a chance.

This really is a good suggestion. The guided tours are still small and 'contained' but the HOF is mobbed.

Count my vote as two for the tailgate. Fuzzy's sounds just fine.
Stupid question, but having never met any PR's before, how will I know I'm partying with the right people??!! Not that any Packer fan could be the wrong people.........you know what I mean......right? :roll:

[Rastak]

GBM will be wearing one of those sandwich signs with Packer Rats on the front and back. The rest of us will be the drunk people nearby.

Maybe not, I'd rather not rile up the natives.....when you see Madtown you should greet him in Spanish as a nice touch.

Something like "Hello good Sir"

which would be "Hola Pendejo" pronounced (ola pen day ho ) in spanish.

Hopefully Mad won't see this and you can surprise him!

Ok, I don't know a lick of Spanish, what does it really mean?

[Rastak]

I can't translate directly but somethink like "hello asshole" or "hello dumbass"...actually that's an old Cheech abd Chong routine where Cheech Marin tells Tommy Chong to greet some guys using that.

[Partial]

Count me in for the 25 dollar one. It may be cold and outside but its never too cold for beer.

[oregonpackfan]

I also vote for the Fuzzy's tailgate party.

I'll wear an Oregon Ducks cap to identify myself--I doubt there are many Oregon Ducks fans in Wisconsin.

I am aware there is a town south of Madison called Oregon. They just don't pronounce Oregon as "ORE-ee-gun" the way it should be pronounced. :lol:

I've always parked in the residential areas around the stadium. You can park 5-6 blocks away for free. That might seem a long way in Green Bay, but for those used to parking in downtown Minneapolis, for example, that's nothing.

This is part of my plan as well. I vote we go to the 25 dollar one. This is Wisconsin and we drink beer and eat brats! Yum!

[GBRulz]

Good Point Harvey, I should mention that it is not mandatory to pay for parking, but you are going to have a 15 minute walk. Especially with losing another 400 spaces this year. Personally, going with a carload of people who each throw in 5 bucks and having a designated driver is worth it, plus we always park close because we usually are tailgating with our own setup.

[GBRulz]

[it's right next to scalpers alley, for those that may be interested in getting a ticket for the game.
Yuck...Scalpers' Alley is pretty much my least favorite place ever..

The rest of the thread is good though :wink:

Well, BF4, it's going to be helpful for those that are coming here without a ticket. You'd be amazed at how much the price drops on the ticket when it's 5 minutes to kickoff. I share your resentment with scalpers though!

[GBRulz]

This is part of my plan as well. I vote we go to the 25 dollar one. This is Wisconsin and we drink beer and eat brats! Yum!

from what I understand, it's all the same party, there are just different colored wristbands based upon which party you paid for. The VIP probably gets you inside the Resch for use of indoor bathrooms, more drinks are included besides beer and some other food is available as well. I'm with ya though, I'm plenty happy with beer and brats!

[Freak Out]

I'll do the $25 deal and will park the rental outside the area and walk/stagger to the party and game. I was wondering if there are any State or County parks around that I can camp in? Any advice from the locals? ..and don't tell me its to cold.

[Joemailman]

Freak Out,

Might want to check this out.

Check out this link, it's an article titled "Hunting for hotels in game weekends" - some very good info.

How they can find a room: "We pool all of our hotels, and any of the properties that do have space available, they'll contact us and let us know that. We know about availability even outside of the area, so if there (are) rooms to be had, we normally know where they are."
I highly suggest using this. Their # is 1-888-867-3342, (920)-494-9507

[GBRulz]

freak out, are you bringing a camper?

[Joemailman]

GBRulz mentioned that parking can run $25-30. I normally park in a lot just NW of the stadium for $15. I'm not sure where Fuzzy's is, so I don't know how long a walk it would be. For anyone interested, you turn north on to Ridge off of Lombardi. Go one block north to St Agnes Dr. and turn left. Go west one block to Briquelet and turn right. There are 2 lots on the west side of Briquelet

If I can find a deal for a rental Motor home I will do it otherwise I would just tent camp.

Parking over there is going to be a little different this year. The packers have leased some of the lots in that area to accomodate season ticket holders whose spots in the Lambeau lot that were lost, due to the new security wall. I don't know exactly which lots, but I read something about the lots in the area of St. Agnes drive.

The Fuzzy's tailgate party is in that area between the front doors of the Resch Center and Ray Nitschke field (behind the Don Hutson center). If you want free parking, your best bet is to drive south on Holmgren Way.

Try contacting www.vanboxtelrv.com - then you can park overnight in the Kmart lot (where all the campers park and yes, they allow overnight parking)You can walk to the stadium from there.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Park for free. It's like 6-8 blocks away. You get to walk by everybody tailgating in their yards. It's a nice stroll--although the thought of a party wagon with a designated driver does sound damn good.

If you don't need a rental for other things beyond the game, I can pick you up from your hotel. I still have 3 empty seats. This offer stands for anyone traveling.

No way! You've been to Camp Randall and have probably made the 10-15 block walk before because the parking at Lambeau can't possibly be worse than landlocked madison.

The best thing about the walk is mingling and saying hello to all the fellow fans. Sometimes you even get a free beer and brat for your troubles.

Parking for free and strolling a mile in a swarm of green and gold is a much better idea than dropping that kind of bank to park.

If you walk down Dayton street they often have apartments from the third story that have a fishing rod hooked to 12 ounce glasses of beer. They let the line down to the sidewalk for anybody to slam a brewski that wants to.

Absolutely frickin classic. :knll:

I love badger saturdays. I get up early and fire up the grill, play a little beer pong, etc. It's a great time!

Does the tailgate we're going to have beerpong :)

Think you can fold up a ping pong table in your car, Partial? :wink:

If I wanted to walk a mile, I'd just walk from my house! Actually we have done that a couple of times, but that was just to meet friends who were tailgating. I certainly wouldn't want to walk if I were carrying a bunch of stuff! I will be getting there earlier though with a friend. We're bringing a cooler with bloody mary stuff.

Half the fun is walking around the stadium area just visiting all the tailgaters. I have no doubt that many parties will be in full swing by noon already that day.

When is the game?

Is it the one on top of the page?

No thats the game that no one is going to all season long so make sure to avoid that one.

I am gonna call and ask if we can bring them.

[wist43]

Pretty sure I can make it... I work PT at a golf course on the weekends, but think I can get it off.

Fuzzy's at 4ish???

Earlier - 3ish near the tents by the Stadium View???

Last time I went up there to meet PR's, we had no idea who the others were... you all know how chaotic it gets up there on game day. Unless we have a specific spot, at a specific time, it's likely a lot of us will just end up wandering around in frustration looking for any sign of another PR.

Can we set up a specific spot to meet earlier, as opposed to just saying "by the tents"??? Or did I not get the memo with more specifics???

Let me know. Thanks.

[packinpatland]

Red carnations in the left lapel. :wink:

[Partial]

We'll have to have some sort of identification. We can make 20-30 really inexpensive t-shirts to wear over our hooded sweatshirts and whatnot. That will work perfectly.

[GBRulz]

We'll set up three different meeting spots. One for those that want to car pool together for parking. (Will be away from the craziness of the stadium). Spot #2 will be for those that just want to meet an hour or two before the tailgate party. Spot #3 will be the tailgate party itself.

If you guys are ok with this, I'd like to collect cell #'s of the people that are going. If you don't want to do that, that's fine. Don't worry, your number is protected by the PR Privacy Act. Your information will not be sold or shared to a third party :wink:

Or you can all wear Ferguson jerseys. Don't think you're going to find too many people wearing those. :wink:

What if we wear something or bring something with our avatars printed on them?

I'm just going to be there with my glass of wine in hand. :wink:

I designed this on a web site, but I doubt it will be t-shirt weather. I haven't bought it yet, It's a little expensive if you just buy one.

I thought the Madman had something in the works?

[MadtownPacker]

I have talked to several local place about shirts but I would need to have an idea how many posters wants one cuz it gets cheaper as you buy more.

[MadtownPacker]

So whats up with airline prices? What should I expect to pay for a flight from San Fran CA to GB WI and back? Any recommendations? I aint gonna lie, I have never been on a plane before.

The girls should go topless and the guys can dress in black T's; we can be Men n Black with da Babes :lol:

[MJZiggy]

Airline prices can vary wildly even for the same flight. Sign onto travelocity, expedia, priceline and then SW Airlines and get what's cheapest. The more they treat you like cattle, the cheaper the flight will be. Does Midwest fly out there? They are worth a few extra bucks.

Madtown,

Check out the prices to Milwaukee. It might be cheaper to fly to Milwaukee, rent a car and drive up to Green Bay.

[oregonpackfan]

As far as shirts, we could wear a shirt representing our state or our philosophy.

I could wear an Oregon shirt and cap.

MJZiggy could wear a Maryland shirt.

PIP could wear a Conneticut shirt.

Bretsky could wear an "I hate Ted Thompson!" shirt... :)

I could come with a Big Yellow Shirt with a circle around this big turtle and a line going throgh it

The No Turtles Shirt :lol:

[GBRulz]

Then I guess I'll wear a GB shirt :wink:

Mad, it's weird prices from San Fran to GB are much pricier than San Diego to GB...like $150 . I'm not sure how far you are from SD though but it's 306 round trip to GB.

In some cases Milwaukee is cheaper, but usually not enough to make it worth the 2 hour drive.

[MJZiggy]

San Diego is a helluva long way from SF, unless he took the train...(I can see this one turning into a comedy movie in a hurry)

That chorizo and I would have plenty to talk about. It'd be a great time!

[the_idle_threat]

I checked Midwest's website, and it varies quite a bit depending upon the dates of departure and return. Best deals are Thursday-Tuesday.

$254 to fly from San Fran to Green Bay on Thursday 10/4 and back on Tuesday, 10/9.

Leave Friday instead of Thursday, (still returning on Tuesday) and the price jumps to $377.

Leave on Thursday and return on Monday: $516.

Leave on Friday and return Monday: $639.

All of the SF-GB flights have a connection in Milwaukee.

If you fly San Fran to Milwaukee and catch a ride from there, it's $280.00 no matter how you schedule it, and there are nonstop flights available.

These are just the prices for Midwest, so you'll probably be able to beat them with someone else.

Midwest is well-known for having great customer service, though, so that might be a factor to consider---especially since you're a first-time flyer. Flying Midwest exclusively, I've never had a bad flying experience like you hear about so often from people. Food for thought.

[MJZiggy]

I love Midwest!!! Right down to the cookies. And forget Southwest (when did they stop flying into Wis.?)

[MadtownPacker]

That chorizo and I would have plenty to talk about. It'd be a great time!I am concerned that lil Dalmer Jr here refers to me as food.

Food for thought.As long as the damn plane takes off and lands without falling apart I am fine with any accommodation. Trust me it cant be any worse the a bus rides out of Mexico.

So all SF to MILW are $280 ROUND trip? I might consider doing that cuz its half price. I prefer to do the flying Friday night, sleep on the plane, get to GB Sat morning, hang out do whatever stay Sunday night and come back early Monday.

This is what I was looking at:
American Airlines operated by AMERICAN EAGLE
11:55pm San Francisco, CA (SFO)
9:00am - Sat, Oct 6 Next day arrival
Green Bay, WI (GRB)
7hrs 5min - 1 Stop
Change planes in Chicago, IL (ORD)
$494
per person

Good Lord how long is that layover??? JMO, I'd take the Midwest. Not only cheaper, but would be a much nicer ride.

[MadtownPacker]

Yeah I just noticed the time. I think I better check out Midwest.

[GBRulz]

Good Lord how long is that layover??? JMO, I'd take the Midwest. Not only cheaper, but would be a much nicer ride.

It's only an hour and a half layover, considering he will board his GB flight around 7:30-7:45 and when flying into O'Hare, it's not necessarily a bad thing. It certainly lives up to it's rep as the highest percentage of flight delays and late arrivals vs any other airport.

That chorizo and I would have plenty to talk about. It'd be a great time!I am concerned that lil Dalmer Jr here refers to me as food.

THen how I am suppose to get there GB? I dont plan on renting a car cuz then I will get pulled over and have to pull a Briggs. I guess I could catch a bus.

[MJZiggy]

If you read down further, after a 3 hour layover, you hop on another flight that gets you into Appleton at 11:42 a.m. Then you take the bus...

[packinpatland]

Then I guess I'll wear a GB shirt :wink:

Mad, it's weird prices from San Fran to GB are much pricier than San Diego to GB...like $150 . I'm not sure how far you are from SD though but it's 306 round trip to GB.

In some cases Milwaukee is cheaper, but usually not enough to make it worth the 2 hour drive.


When I've flown to the west coast, it's almost always been cheaper to fly into Oakland rather than SFO. Might want to try that.

[GBRulz]

The only bus service I'm aware of is Greyhound. We don't exactly have a state of the art public transportation system around here. Which is why I highly recommend renting a car. $14 a day...pick Enterprise, they'll pick you up :lol: BTW, avoid renting cars at airports..then you get socked with the airport fees, which are seriously like $40 a day.

By the way, thanks for that one. I rented from the Military Ave. branch like you said and it's costing me $29 for the whole weekend!!

[GBRulz]

That's awesome, Zig. I never knew the price difference until my sister from FL flew in last year and for whatever reason couldn't get her car from the airport and had to call around to other locations. Couldn't believe the price difference.

Well I guess I could just park in your driveway. You can just move you ride somewheres else. :tup:

[Cheesehead Craig]

I've done Fuzzy Ticket Tours (with hotel and tailgate) both times I've been to Lambeau. Fuzzy does a real great job and the food is plentiful and delicious. Inside the center, there isn't that much room to sit down or many places to. I went 2 years ago and that was my recollection. They had a DJ there and it was a real fun atmosphere. The lines at the bar move pretty quickly.

Wish I could come along but it is not to be this season. Have fun kids!

[Rastak]

Maybe worse places than me but the sound of squad cars in a couple of my neighborhoods was pretty much all night back in the day. I remember getting woken up back in 1980 at 3:00am because a guy in a car was literally chasing his girl around the parking lot in his car.....she's screaming and I was so used to the crap I'm yelling, "shut up, I'm trying to sleep".

Pretty cold looking back. She eventually ran off and all ended well.


I recall seeing a place in Las Vegas I damn sure wouldn't have wanted to enter under any circumstances. I can't imagine Green Bay's Ghetto....LOL...

[packinpatland]

Two police officers came and shot a raccoon in my neighborhood yesterday afternoon.
.....just thought I'd share. :wink:

[MJZiggy]

Was it resisting arrest?

[packinpatland]

In this town, with these cops.............probably.
I think they drew the chalk outline around it afterward. :lol:

They make the 'Keystones' look good.

[GBRulz]

Zig, are you available tonight for a drawing? You did such a good job in FF getting people ticked, thought you might want a chance for redemption...lol. I have a an extra ticket for the game ($63 face value) and the people that have PM'd me that still need a ticket will have a shot at it. Hence, if you guys didn't PM me, you have until 7 pm tonight to get in the drawing. Payment will be expected within 1 week. Sorry, but these are my friends tickets and she doesn't want to get stuck with them. Actually, it's more like I need to take these from her before she changes her mind about selling them at face value...her and her hubby have a kid on the way and can certainly use the extra $$$$ !!!

[MJZiggy]

Well, in this one I'm guaranteed to piss off everyone except for one person (who will be very happy with me and better be buying the drinks...) so why not.

Send me the list (before bedtime if you want my kid to do it again--and there is NO getting pissed at my kid. He's completely neutral and doesn't care about any of you)

Congrats, OPF, you now owe GBR money and both of us lots of drinks...

[GBRulz]

Thanks for doing that, Zig.

I MAY, MAY, be getting 2 more tickets. Make sure you PM me if your ticket needs status changes or not. Of course I can't find a ticket at face value for everyone, but I am doing my best. And to be fair, I am having a neutral party draw names.

The thing is, when these tickets come available, I need to be able to tell people ASAP if I want them or not. I have a list going, which is why I have asked you to PM me if you need tix. Thanks everyone.

OPF - I like Miller Chill with a lime :wink:

Lambeau Field Atrium To Feature New Pregame Party This Season


posted 09/05/2007

PREGAME FIELD PASSES AMONG FEATURED DOOR PRIZES; OTHER FAN NOTES FOR SUNDAY

Packers fans attending games at Lambeau Field this season will have a new option for pregame festivities as the Lambeau Field Atrium comes alive with a new pregame party.

Beginning at 8 a.m. when Atrium doors open to ticketed fans, the main floor area will feature live music and concessions. This week's band is Spin.

All party attendees are encouraged to sign up next to the guest relations desk for a number of door prizes that will be awarded at 9:30 a.m. Fans must be present to win. The featured door prize is two pregame field passes to that day's game. Other prizes include Curly's game cards, Packers Hall of Fame passes and Miller Brewing company items.

The pregame party will take place prior to each noon game this season.

* * *

FANS CAN EXIT ATRIUM AND LATER RE-ENTER STADIUM PRIOR TO GAME: A new policy allowing fans to exit the Atrium and re-enter the stadium prior to kickoff will make its debut Sunday. Game attendees who wish to experience Atrium attractions such as the pregame party, Packers Pro Shop, Packers Hall of Fame and Curly's Pub, can exit the stadium at the designated door at the Miller Brewing Company Gate prior to 10:30 a.m. (for a noon kickoff) and receive a readmittance pass to re-enter the stadium at any gate. Each attendee must have his or her ticket stub AND the readmittance pass to be allowed back inside the stadium. Fans should note the pat-down process will need to be repeated when re-entering.

This program was developed from fan feedback over the past few seasons.

* * *

OTHER REMINDERS FOR FANS: The parking lots will open for parking clients Sunday at 8 a.m. (four hours prior to kickoff). The Atrium opens at 8 a.m., as well, for ticketed fans to enjoy all the Atrium has to offer.

Gates to stadium seating areas will open at 9:45 a.m. (2 hours, 15 minutes prior to kickoff).

All fans entering Lambeau Field are reminded that they will be subject to and should expect to be patted down by security personnel before going through stadium gates as a continuation of security measures in place since 2001. Fans are encouraged to arrive early at stadium gates to help facilitate this security measure.

Fans also are reminded of the carry-in policy which prohibits bags, backpacks, duffel bags, fanny packs, umbrellas, food and beverages, video cameras and still photo cameras with lenses over 12 inches. Stadium seats consisting of no more than a seat cushion and back rest are permitted as long as they are not wider than 18 inches. Fans should note that any items left at the gate will not be able to be picked up after the game. More detailed gameday information can be found online at www.packers.com/gameday/lambeau_field_a_to_z_guide.

[GBRulz]

I really thought that Favre would have broken the TD record before this game. Wouldn't that be the coolest thing ever for it to happen with all of us there? AND against the Bears, no less. AND on National TV !

[MJZiggy]

That would be spectacular!!!

[GrnBay007]

If anyone is looking for a hotel room for the posters game Sat/Sun, PM me. I have an extra room.

[MadtownPacker]

How far is it from the stadium?

[GrnBay007]

It's only 1 mile from the stadium and reasonably priced.

BTW - You will be sitting next to me so consider yourself warned.

[GBRulz]

Guys, these are going to go really, really fast but my friend is selling his two tickets at face value to the first person to claim them. Section 118 (35-45 yd line). Bad part is, they are in the first row, which kinda blows as you can't see very well from that low, but they are what they are....

PM me if interested $72 each. yes, that is face value.

I am not having a drawing on these because I don't officially have the tickets, unlike the other one that OPF bought.

[GBRulz]

BTW - You will be sitting next to me so consider yourself warned.

Unfortunately I can't make it to the game because I have to be out of town for work on Monday morning. That's why I have a room open for Sat/Sun night. I reserved 2 the day the schedule came out back in April. I may go just Sat. to meet up with my fellow rats, but if I do that I will just stay with a friend.

[Partial]

Are we all getting together Sat or Sun or both? I would be up for both I suppose as long as it is Sat night because i'll have to work in the day.

[GBRulz]

I like to go downtown the night before a game.

I haven't done this for many years, but we used to start off in Appleton and harass the opposing team who always hung out at the hotel sports bar where the visiting team always stays. Then we'd come back to GB and party.

I don't think we have officially planned any kind of get together other than Sunday though.

Start throwing out ideas for Sat nite....

[MJZiggy]

What's the coolest, must-see bar in town?

[GBRulz]

What's the coolest, must-see bar in town?

There are a ton of sports bars all with different kind of memorabillia on display. Then there are places for good live music. Then places for dancing. Places for the drinks you won't find anywhere else. Places with great microbrews, etc.

I mean each place is good for something different, it's kind of a vague question there, zig! It depends on what you want to do or see.

If I'm able to come up Saturday, I think you should give us the grand tour beginning early. Start in Appleton (can you show us the Paradise Club for quick entertainment :wink:

Then tour of GB

[MadtownPacker]

Nah, if there is anybody I would want for a bouncer or a security guard its Mad. He's a badass mexican. Not one of those stereotypical short guys. Mad will F you up.P I aint gonna be able to be your bodyguard over there. WHen you come here I will show you the ropes.

In fact I was hoping you where gonna make sure I have a get out of jail free card. :lol:


Are we all getting together Sat or Sun or both? I would be up for both I suppose as long as it is Sat night because i'll have to work in the day.I might even end up in WI or somewheres in the midwest on Friday night. I probably will catch a bus or get a renta ride. Planning on just walking around where the stadium is on Saturday checking stuff out. Im down for whatever that night.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Mad, you should send your photo and a little story to packers.com. They like to post those cute little stories about people that travel long distances. Tarlam should do the same.

OK Mr. BallHawk..............in another thread you said you were 8 years old at the time of 9/11...........that makes you 14 now. How come you're posting in the pm hours, when you should be at school, or late pm when you should be doing homework? This inquiring mom wants to know!

I must of been 9 when it was 9/11, because I'm 15 now. My B-Day is Sept 3 so my birthday was a week before 9/11. My mistake.

I get out of school at 2:00. If I ever post during the day it's because I'm using one of the school's laptop. If you get your work done at home when everybody is working during school you can be on PR. How great is that? :D

[BallHawk]

What happened to Columbia?

Columbia was a nice place, I liked it. The layout and plan was very nice, very green. The high schools were good, not so much for the middle school that my younger brother would of gone to, but it was still satisfactory. However, the real estate market was either really high or really overpriced. For a nice, modern home, 2,700 sq ft + basement, was $700,000. Look at Mequon and you can get 3,200+basement for $550, 000.

Besides, there's just no place like home. :D

It's a work from home job with maybe one trip to Chicago a month. Can't imagine anyone trying to commute from the Milwaukee area to Chicago. That's got to be about 5 hours driving per day.

Nah, more like 2. Plenty of people commute from Kenosha. The fat 6 figure a year in Chicago is a hell of a lot of money in Kenosha and gets you a nice palace and a nice suv.

[BallHawk]

Kenosha is manageable, even though it is still 65 miles each way. You'd have to be crazy to try to commute from places like Waukesha, Mequon, New Berlin, etc. Kenosha would be the farthest I think anybody would be willing to go, even though I did know somebody that commuted from Oak Creek. :shock:

[the_idle_threat]

If a person works right downtown in Chicago, then the commute from Milwaukee is doable. People take the train from downtown Milwaukee to Chicago.

[MJZiggy]

Just a reminder, people, the party's in Green Bay which is not a doable commute from Chicago because the Bears suck and we're gonna beat the tar out of them after one hell of a tailgating party. So we're at Fuzzy's on Sunday, what about Saturday? I will call the stadium and see if they do group tours if anyone is interested in doing that. Please either reply or pm me and I'll see what the options are.

[Partial]

Who is in for a Saturday night get together and what are we going to do? I think it would be a great time just to chill somewhere.

[GBRulz]

Downtown is pretty packed the night before a game, that's kinda my plan on where to be.

Is everyone set with a hotel now? The GB Visitors Bureau is the best place to call for a room as they have the latest in cancellations and availability. hotels usually call them when they have a room available due to a cancellation or something. Must easier than calling each hotel, that's for sure. 888-867-3342

Zig, tours are on a first come, first serve basis and fill up very fast on game weekends. They only take about 12 people at a time on the stadium tour.

While you guys are on your tourist sight-seeing, I'll take the non-tourists to a bar and a drive by of Brett's house :lol:

Well I got some ideas what we can do they mostly involve watching women taking off their clothes. But I really can't comment since I don't know if SkinBasket likes those sorts of places, I have to respect him as a person you know.

Ay yi yi, people, my kid has more focus than this. And if you knew him, you'd be shamed...

I have heard from a couple people about doing the stadium tour. Is anyone else interested, otherwise we'll be a small, but very nice group.

So if you guys are serious about the titty bar thing, maybe B (the local titty bar expert) should head that one up (not really fair to ask GBR to research). The rest of us are going downtown? Where should we meet and what time? And we still don't know how we're going to find each other?

Sunday, is everyone agreed about Fuzzy's for tailgating? Anyone know what time to be there?

OK, so should I come up Sat night or Sunday during the game and catch the game at a sports bar? I'd go to the tailgate with you guys, then.

Good chance I may be in the same boat now. If I can make it up there it will be one or the other. I wonder how soon everybody is getting in Saturday ? Do you work Saturday at all ? Mad, I might have to ask to rent your floor if that is alright and if I can make it up. Or maybe the Paradise Club will let me stay there all night. Yes, that would be fun :lol:

Part of this will depend on how certain things are going family wise for me as well.

[4and12to12and4]

How much will scalpers be asking for, in the 3's?

[Bretsky]

How much will scalpers be asking for, in the 3's?

If there are tickets available near gametime I'd bet you can swing one for double the cost or much less. It's all supply and demmand.

Some may be coming up knowing they might watch the game at a bar though as well.

[4and12to12and4]

The last time I went to Lambeau, I was with my sister and we didn't have tickets, it was against the Bears, the game that Sweetness made us miss the winning field goal the week after he died. Had to watch it at a bar across the street, cuz scalpers were still asking for 300 even 15 minutes after the game started. But, I want to go. So, if you're scalping maybe we can meet up somewhere, and if we can't get in, we can watch it at a bar. Thoughts?

Right now I can't say I'm sure of what I'm doing one way or the other due to family stuff going on. Probably will not be sure until the week before as my better half has been sick off and on. If I make it up I may come up Saturday to party and then go home Sunday morning, or come up Sunday to party and either scalp or watch the game at the bar. Just won't be sure for a bit.

[4and12to12and4]

Dude, I would love to meet you and party my ass off Saturday, you could give me a tour of the Bay and teach me much. Maybe we can meet up with other rats, i've never met any of you. I want to go to this game so bad, and I especially want to get completely wasted Saturday night!!! Try to make it happen. We'd have a blast.

OK, my name is on every friggin thread, no one is responding, I'm going to bed. Go Pack. Talk to you guys tomorrow.Have no fear big homie, seems like a few if not most who are going to the game will be there Sat. I might even end up there Friday night but I got a room for Sat and Sun and anyone who I can fit in there is welcome to spend the night for free.

I sent you a PM about the ticket.

[HarveyWallbangers]

It would be nice to go 4-0 going into that game. Who would have thunk we had a chance at this point? The only bad thing: tickets will probably cost $1,000/piece. I'll likely be watching from the bar, but I'm cool with that.

[Deputy Nutz]

Skin and myself will most likely be watching the game from a bar as well. We will be coming up on Saturday afternoon. So for all of you that will be up on Saturday night pm me and I will volunteer to be the Saturday night group coordinator unless someone like GBRulz want to volunteer since she knows where the fuck to go in Green Bay, I only got a sniffer for the nudie bar.

[Partial]

If I get up there by 11:30 or midnight on Saturday am I going to miss the fun?!?

I would rather work all day Sat, then head up there that evening after work and then skip work on Sunday and watch the game with Harv, Nutz and Skin at a bar.

[GBRulz]

OK.... a quick rehash on the situation......

The tailgate party on Sunday....$25 ...doors open at 3:15. It's the Fuzzy Thurston Tailgate party in the Bart Star Plaza, which is between the Resch Center and the Don Hudson Center on Armed Forces Drive. Just head towards the main doors to the Resch and you'll see it.

Please see the first page of the thread for website info, etc about the tailgate party. Just an FYI, I spoke to Bill from Titletown Tours (they do the party) and there are absolutely no carry in's to the tailgate party. no drinks, no chairs, no tables, no coolers...nada.

I can't say where exactly we will meet once inside the tailgate area.... sooo, if you haven't given me your cell number, please PM that to me. I will recognize some of you, but most are new faces, sooooo we can call/text each other on where we are. I really don't know how else to do it and am open to any ideas that guys might have.....

As far as Sat nite, be at Anduzzi's at 7:00 pm. It's near the stadium and I think easier for people to meet vs somewhere downtown. From there, the guys can go to the nudie bars, I will find something else to do with PIP and Zig, lol.

Anduzzi's is on Holmgren Way, 1 block east of Lambeau Field.

I think that is something that can be decided at the tailgate party. We are right next to scalpers alley, so I'm hoping you guys can snatch up some tickets for a decent price at the last minute.

There are 4 bars within walking distance of the tailgate party, so don't worry about finding a spot somewhere.

[Deputy Nutz]

I was thinking that tickets were going to be tough to get, but now that the Bears have had such a poor start maybe the FIBS will decided to leave this game alone.

[Joemailman]

Tickets for the Bears game at http://www.buyselltix.com/ have gone up since the win yesterday. Cheapest are now over $200. Maybe it'll be different on game night though.

How far is Miluakee from GB? Can I catch a train or bus easily from the airport? Thinking of landing there on Saturday.

The airport is on the south side of Milw, so I would allow 2 hrs to get to GB.

There isn't a train here that I know of, but I could be wrong. I know there is bus service through Greyhound.
