For those that go to Lambeau Field a lot.

What is the best time to go watch a game (in your opinion)

I've been once in my life, 2-3 years ago when the packers lost 35-0 to the pats (Favre got hurt right before half-time). It was a early November game from what I can recall, the atmosphere was nice and I had a blast (besides the terrible lost)

I want to make a trip up again next year. Which is the best time to go?

(This is regular season voting) Obviously the playoffs is the best time to go to a game to get the most excitement.

I like the late October, early November games. Not so warm but not real cold. Seeing a game in the snow at Lambeau is also fun!

You must have forgotten that it was 15 degrees for the NE game and a 15 mph wind. That game was cold!!

Yea I always wanted to see a snow game (but thats really hard to book, you gotta get lucky)

You should have seen me, I defiantly looked like I was from out of town, I was freezing my ass off, I had a sweater and jeans (I defiantly learned for when I go back next time)

Favre got hurt right before half-time.

Odd fact that may only interest me (I'm channeling Peter King!): I read somewhere once that Favre only has had six games where he couldn't finish a game due to an injury. In three of those six games, his back up QB suffered a season ending injury and ended up on injured reserve. So much for the WPS (Wally Pipp Syndrome) that Favre was always concerned about...

Point being, attending a game where Favre gets knocked out is such a rare event. More rare than come-from-behind victories, multiple TD games, multiple INT games, etc. Kudos! (Also, apparently it's your fault for being at the game. A butterfly flapping its wings...)

If you ask me, Christmas time games are always the best. It can get a bit chilly but the atmosphere is great and they often times have playoff importance.
I would have to say second is opening day. Its always a great feeling when football is back and everyone has great hope for the year.
BTW, I was also at the blowout against the patriots.

[Spaulding]

Seems like the Patriots game was well attended by Packerats. I was almost there. Have a co-worker whose a huge Pats fan and he wanted me to go with him but my wife had my time dedicated to other duties. Somewhat glad I missed as although it's always a good time at Lambeau, I've already been to my fair share of stinkers (Falcons playoff game and Holmgren's return being most memorable) and often start to wonder if the Pack is better off when I'm not there.

That being said, I'd have to vote with Packman_26 for the December/January games. Normally a home field advantage and it weeds out the posers and you always have a chance for a snow game.

Still kicking myself for not finding a way to make the Seattle playoff game that was like a snow globe - looked surreal.

They handed out Packer towels for the game souvenir that game. Only thing they were good for was putting under your butt to insulate you from the metal bleachers.

There were 5 people in our section at the end of the game, this is not an exaggeration.

[Spaulding]

When Holmgren came back and it was a Monday night they handed out Shopko Packeroni's to wave during the game. Towards the end and when Brian Williams went down with knee injury and out for season I asked my wife to put me out of my misery with the 'roni' but alas it was foam.

I get to go to Lambeau every other year of so.

A perfect October game is so great, all the smells, people walking around drinking brews, the comraderie, it's the best.

Many times, it's a late season, cold one for me.

When I take Kentucky people, they are always amazed. The people are so friendly, it reminds them of Southern hospitality. None of 'em can come close to handling the cold, tho. I try to get them dressed right, but they just don't get the layered thing, and they all freeze in the 3rd quarter.

The thing I've noticed is how warm the bathrooms are. When I tell the southerners that they can warm up in the bathroom, they all just ask to go back to the hotel. There isn't one of 'em that will go back for a late year game.

& that's a good thing.

quit yer bitchin' and use a shamwow diaper. you'll be fine.

[gbpackfan]

I've been to just about every game the past 5 years. There is NO BAD TIME to go. But, October and early November games are my favorite. It can still get pretty hot in Sept. and December games can get very cold. As long as you dress right, you'll be fine whenever you go.

finding the fucker is the biggest battle

you guys just have to worry about getting the pants down and landing your ass on the seat.

we gotta make sure everything clears everything else. and thats even tougher to do with a beer belly blocking your view
