Can I add a poll to this thread about what people want to do for tailgating? let me see if I can edit my first post.....

I'm pretty sure those of you coming in from out of state already have your hotels and stuff booked, but if you still need a copy of the hotel list that I put together, just send me a PM. Although finding one at this point is going to be extremely tough

Also, if you need a rental car... call the Enterprise on Military Ave. It is MUCH cheaper than renting a car from the airport. It's a $5 cab ride away. Car rental places at airports are always higher because they have to cover the airport fees, etc.
$13.36 a day for a small 4 door, $15 for a mid-size. Where at the airport those same cars are $45 and $52 per day.

but since i won't be their i expect someone to be taking pictures and posting them on packerrats for those of us who can't make it but can still be part of the fun from the comfort of our couches!

I dunno LW, I think what happens at the PR tailgate party, stays at the PR tailgate party. See, all the more reason why you need to get your redneck ass over for this

Thanks for the tip, I was alittle surprised at the price last year.

As for this poll, you have to go for a traditional party. It's cool to visit Favre's Steakhouse when you get to Green Bay, but that's not the place to be on game day. At least, not for me.

Harv, it's a regular outdoor tailgate party in the parking lot. It's not like the indoors thing at Marty's. http://www.packerfantours.com/tailgate/

Personally, I opt for either the half-half option or the tailgate party at Favre's. Unless we get enough vehicles to be able to haul the grills, chairs, etc. and do people really want to clean up after?

[MJZiggy]

NO CLEANING. (sorry, gut reaction, but I'm on vacation, dammit)

I know about the party, but it's also a few blocks from the stadium. We'll have a bunch of tourists that will want to take in the atmosphere. You're spoiled. You are used to the stadium.


I think you'll get more people to come and stay if you have it in the stadium parking lot.

edit: I am sorry, I have control and detail freak embedded in my blood.

Really? I hadn't noticed. :P

Well harv, I don't know what to tell you. Parking inside the lot at Lambeau is not an option for us. Only people with season parking passes can park there. Remember, the Packers lost about 3000 spots since the renovation and 400 spots we're losing this year due to that new "wall". Gone are the days where you'd approach the stadium and see a thick cloud of smoke in the stadium lot. The atmosphere is now everywhere around the stadium. You are not bound to stay at the Packers tailgate party (if we end up having it there) for the whole time. Def get out and walk around and see things! There are parties all over the place.

I do want everyone to experience the atmosphere, that is why I turned down the idea of Marty's right from the beginning.

[HarveyWallbangers]

When did this change? I tailgated two years ago for the Steelers game. That's after the renovation. Waited in line for them to open the gates, and got in the second row in front of the Oneida entrance.

[GBRulz]

I'm not sure how you got in either! We tried once and weren't able to, so we never attempted to again.

Parking

Game Day Access Map (PDF)
The Lambeau Field parking lot opens four hours prior to kickoff. With the exception of a limited number of first come, first served parking for people with disabilities, the entire stadium lot is sold out to holders of season parking passes. Reserved season parking customers must enter the lot at the entrance indicated on their parking pass and follow the directions given by the parking attendants. No busses, R.V.'s or oversized vehicles are allowed in the Lambeau Field lot.

Here are some FAQ's about misc things about game day, stadium tours, etc that some might find helpful.
