I have been to 2 Packers games and they were both memorable. The first was October 3, 2005 at Carolina. A Monday Night Football game. I had seats directly behind the Packers bench on the 50 yard line...14th row. The Packers came back and had a good chance to tie it or win it...but fell short and lost 32-29. It was an amazing time.
On September 10, 2006, me and my family flew from West Virginia to Green Bay to the home opener versus Chicago. I'm not going to mention the blow out....but...I was able to meet and get a picture with Reggie White's son and wife. My seats rocked. I was in row 2...directly beside the Packers tunnel. The 96 Super Bowl team was all there and I was able to shake Dorsey Levins hand. He's a VERY nice guy and it made my day. I yelled at every Packer that came through that tunnel. Al Harris gave me a nod, Mike McCarthy said hello, and Ryan Pickett gave me a thumbs up (which I have on camera.) I also was able to take a tour of Lambeau Field the next day, which Aaron Kampman was on the field running some drills and I got my picture made with him in the background. It was truly a trip to remember for the rest of my life.

2 that stand out for me were:

The win over 49ers in San Francisco in January of 1996. That's when I knew the Packers were in the big time even though they would lose the NFC Championship to Dallas.

I was in Lambeau for the Al Harris interception to beat Seattle. An incredible finish to a great game.

IF THAT FIRST GAME WAS THE JACKE 53 YARD FIELD GOAL I'd put that one up there too.

I was so pumped after that game I listened to Packer post game that Monday night til 3:00 AM in the morn and wasn't worth a crap at work the next day.

For me it was the NFC championship game against Carolina and the instant replay game against the Bears. I remember calling a bunch of friends after the Jackie kick to beat the 49ers in 96, I think I also got like 3 hours of sleep that night but it was worth it. One other great memory was being at the airport to welcome the Packers back to Green Bay after upsetting the niners. I think that the estimate for people at the airport was around 8,000 people. I took my two nephews and my wife. Reggie GAVE ME A HIGH FIVE 8)

For now it's seeing them play in Tampa, and after a solid win having some idiot Buc fan try giving me a hard time. I only had to remind him of the final score. My favorite will be seeing them play at Lambeau for the first time this fall.

No, he's talking about about the smackdown we threw on the 49ers out in San Fran the year before we won the Super Bowl. The one where Wayne Simmons leveled somebody and Craig Newsome scored on the fumble return early. Favre was near perfectin that game. Fell to the ground on one play, got up and completed a pass anyways. I must say that one ranks up there for me too.

'93 playoffs at Detroit. Favre to Sharpe. I was so happy that night. We had finally made the playoffs, and even won a game.

I think he leveled Derreck Levell.

I was home sick watching the game alone with my worst cold at all time. But when Favre and Sharpe hooked up I jumped up and yelled so loud I scared my dog so bad he ran down into the basement.

Re: New Thread

Kind of bored talking about the same things, so I'm just going to make one up.

Name your all-time favorite Packers moment. It can be an outcome of a game, meeting a Packers player, watching a big game with a special friend/family member, whatever.

One caveat: you can't choose a Super Bowl win (whether you are a young guy or an old geezer that saw Lombardi's Super Bowl wins).

Vikings - Packers only playoff meeting.

I'd have to say Favre on MNF against the Raiders.

Another good one was Al's INT to win it against Seattle in the playoffs.

That was sweet. I don't include the MNF game because of the circumstances. It was special, without doubt, but not a favorite.

one is yancey thigpen dropping the wide open TD in the north end zone, while myself and everyone else in the south end zone cried over the idea that we just lost (too far away to see the drop. then about 5 minutes after the game i got introduced to that old #66 guy

and another. me and a friend scored tickets to a packer bear game a year or two the renovation. we drove over from michigan and were staying in Appleton the night before the game. we went out for a booze run before some friends from uwgb came to our hotel, and we decided to drive up tp the stadium.

it was one of the coolest things i've ever seen in my life, this was old lambeau remember, we pulled into the parking lot and just sat there. it was dark out, and the only lights on were the stadium lights. the stadium looked like it had this angelic glow around it. it was very erie, and very cool. we sat there just staring at it, while the ghosts played inside

Favorite moment wasnt even when the Packers were playing! Cards Vikings thats all I have to say!

I remember having friends over for that game. While we were happy for a "meaningless win" we suddenly remember hearing the crowd so we we opened the front door and could hear the crowd just going crazy, so we knew something happened. Sure enough, AZ just scored a TD to knock the Queens out!!! That was awesome!

Another fav moment was golfing at Thornberry a few years back, we had to wait at every hole and the players behind us were Bill Schroeder and Ryan Longwell. They were both pretty cool, except Longwell was really serious about his golf game. Where Bill was there more so to have fun. We would order a round of beer and tell them that the group behind us was paying and then they would do it vice versa, etc. Also on that day, my friend drove a ball through Andrew Brandt's window. So we go to the door and his very pregnant wife came to the door and says "oh, I never heard anything, i was on the other side of the house". yes, they live in a house that big where a golf ball can crash through a window and they don't hear it! BTW, Andrew Brandt, absolute total @sshole.

Either the Instant Replay game, and running outside in wauwatosa to scream my head off only to be drowned out by the rest of the neighborhood, or having #66 sign a picture of him holding me taken when I was 2. And getting to wear one of his Super Bowl rings!!

BANGING THE BARBELL against the floor/ceiling of those Bears fans in college to taunt them after the referee used instant replay to overturn the Magic Man's TD pass and give the Packers the victory over da Bears.

1989, that's my best memory as well...

I was in a bar in Superior, WI - the bar was packed wall-to-wall b/c you can't get Packer games on regular TV up there if the Vikings are playing at the same time - so everyone packed the bars that had satellite dishes.

The place erupted when he threw the TD, then they disallowed it, and everyone was screaming at the TV b/c we could see it was a good TD, then replay overturned it, and the place went wild again...

That was the loudest I've ever heard a bar - it was bedlam - it was great!!!
