'08 PackerRats.com Posters game Falcons @ Packers Oct 5th

[Joemailman]

I haven't voted, but I thought I'd throw this into the mix:

There is a possibility that the game that gets picked will be the Favre jersey retirement game. I suspect this could be prohibitively expensive for some. The Packers have been noncommittal on which game they will choose, but I would expect it to be a prime-time game. I also imagine it will occur in September or October. http://www.packers.com/news/stories/2008/03/19/2/

Wait, if the date's the first home game in October, then why do we need to mess around voting for a team?

OK...

The game will be the first home game in October based on our top 4 selected. This is the first of 4 polls. The winner of this poll is removed and we vote on the remaining 7. We do that again and again until we have picked 4 games.

Then when the schedule comes out next week posters will know that the first home game in October based on our ranking is the game. This allows for immediate ability to book a room, tickets etc.

What? It still sounds like we're going to the 1st Oct home game regardless of this poll. What am I missing? Are you saying it's going to be the first home game in Oct that is one of the 4? Like if the 1st Oct home game is Minn, we disregard that and go to the second home game in Oct? I'm confused. It's like you're speaking Mexicanese at me.

I voted for the first home game in October

Why bother with so many damn polls? Just look at the results of this one...if Atlanta happens to be at Lambeau in Oct, that's the game. If Chicago comes, then it's Chicago. etc

[Bretsky]

I vote for a game that is not a night game; my guess is with Favre gone we will not have many of those anymore though

[packinpatland]

With all of us coming from 'near and far'.......logistically we need a game where there isn't a fear of bad weather......any game in Oct. should fit the bill. I say we wait for the sched., wait for the Packers to announce which game will be the Favre game., and pick accordingly.

[The Leaper]

Atlanta?

Really?

Yuck. Poop.

I voted for the first home game in October

I agree with this sentiment. It simplifies compiling polls, making travel arrangements, etc. Go with whoever the opponent may be, whether it is the Bears or the Texans.

As far as lodging goes, whatever happened to the option of just pitching tents in GBR's backyard? She could rent a couple of Port-a-potties for the weekend and we could be one happy family!

[packinpatland]

No tents, no portalets............

I like the simple creature comforts........a soft bed and a flushing toilet.

OK, the first home game in October based on this poll.

Cant believe you aholes dont want to exercise your right to vote. Damn commies.

[Tarlam!]

Er.... I think we said the most interesting October home opponent last time we met...

The night game nearly killed me. I apparently "saw" Brett Favre play at Lambeau. If it weren't for Zig's, Mad's and PiP's photos, I wouldn't have remembered!!

Please let it be a day game!!!

Day game sounds good. List of hotels with phone #s would be good. Didn't someone get a really good deal on a room last year? Also did anybody get a good deal on tickets last year? What's the best site for tickets? Could we get a better deal if we bought tickets as a group? How about rooms, could we get a better deal as a group?

The list is available to anyone who would like to attend. Shoot me a PM.

The prices werent too cheap because it was the bears game and the Pack was undefeated. Guess it will depend on what game we gets. THe group purchase things seems hard to do but if you are down to go I will get in on some tickets with you. Last year I bought 4 seats together. There is also talk of splitting room. Ask Partial how that worked out.

[Partial]

Are 28 people actually going to attend? Fuck... don't vote if you're not going to go.
