So many things to do, so little time

As already mentioned, Packer Hall of Fame is awesome. Seeing the Lombardi trophies at the end always sends chills up my spine.

Stadium tour is always good (better since the 2003 renovation) and I recently ran into Aaron Rodgers in the elevator going to the 4th floor of the atrium which was very cool (need to post the picture). Our tour guide said he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet which is always great to hear. That being said, if it was during training camp or prior to game weekend you run the good chance of bumping into a player doing an interview. The prior note on the players tunnel and the piping of music is cool as is the chance to get pictures of the family in Lambeau for Christmas card

We've always parked just NW of the stadium in a Church parking lot (off of St. Agnes Drive). Good cause and cheap ($10) and maybe 7-8 block walk.

My kids and I have great memories of touching the Lombardi era floor bricks on the way out of the tunnel. Now that I think about it, I was more moved by my trip to Lambeau than my trip to the Vatican.

I could see a trip to Lambeau being more moving for me that a trip to the Vatican...and I was Catholic...at one time...more or less.

They don't do the stadium tours on Sunday, right? I mean I can't see them doing tours on game day.

No, they don't do stadium tours on game day.....but if there is anyway you can go the day before or the day after it is SO WELL WORTH IT!

I don't know if the team always has a meeting the evening before a game, but a couple years ago when I took my kids we went to Lambeau as soon as we got in town. It was around 7-8pm and since we hadn't eaten dinner we decided to get a sandwich at Curly's Pub at Lambeau. We sat by a window overlooking the players parking lot and noticed quite a few people gathering down there. As soon as we finished we went down by the small crowd where they were getting player autographs as the players left the parking lot. Kids got some autographs and got to talk with Bubba Franks a bit...which they thought was really great.

1. Stadium Tour on Saturday and HOF after

Everything else is a bonus. If you have never been to Lambeau I'd walk around and take in the scenery

Stadium View Bar is Cool, Brett Favre Steakhouse is cool, there is a new bar that is amazing as well but I can't recall the name

Something must be wrong with me. I didn't like it there. And I really wanted to like it after all the hype.

then you should go to Storheims. Damn good custard. I prefer Krolls, but I'm old school Wisconsin.

Yes Krolls is great and right across from the stadium on the west side. I don't think there is any need to pay for parking. If you're planning on getting there early you can park less than 1/2 mile away for free on the street, I used to do it all the time when I was 16 and didn't think my parents tailgates were worth waking up at 7 am for. This will likely be easiest on the west side of the stadium, Blue Ridge, Valley View, April, Orrie etc. I've never come in from outside of the "city" but I'd assume you're taking 41 up from the FV, I wouldn't exit on Lombardi, probably get off at Waube/Oneida and then take Oneida to Pilgrim, then take Ridge to the area I described. Should be better traffic.

If you have to pee go to the endzones. This is a little known fact but super helpful. The endzone bathrooms are more than 2x the size of those between the 10's. I can't count the number of times I've run (literally, if you see a 6'4" dude sprinting to a bathroom after a punt that's me) from my seats to the endzone, pissed, run back and not missed a play while watching people still wait in line at the closer bathroom.

If youre not tailgating per se Fuzzys tail gate near Barts statue is not a bad deal. Fuzzy signs stuff if he's feeling ok too.

Naw...its just the three of us so we aren't tailgating. So I will have to check out Fuzzy's. Know the fee for the tailgate? Thanks for the info...much appreciated.

you can google fuzzys place-i dont recall, but its all you can eat and drink

I thought we went to Storheims? Hell....I can't remember...I got lost and had to call for directions and you guys were almost done eating by the time I got there. Custard was pretty tasty though......

Fuzzy was cool and I liked the way he groped Ziggy and GBM.

Place was smokey as hell....everyplace in GB was like that....it's probably better now that they have banned smoking.

Sorry, yeah we did. Ziggy and Madtown wanted custard. You mentioned burgers... Burgers makes me think of Krolls.

Wouldn't remember the name of the church, would you. I can put it into the Garmin. What's the good cause? Do the proceeds go to the church?

I didn't get any custard there. I thought I was supposed to get the butter burger.
