Accomodation in GB for Vikings Game

[Tarlam!]

I am thinking of going to this game and I wanted to take my kids along. I thought renting a motor home and seeing a bit of the country might be the way to go.

Can anybody tell me if there's a decent camping site within a taxi ride to Lambeau? Is the availabilty for sites as scarce as hotel rooms?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Depends how much you are willing to pay for the Taxi.
AJ Hawk paid $1K for a taxi ride from Minneapolis to get to OTAs last year!

Lots of campgrounds within a $1,000 ride from Green Bay!

I wonder if Hawk remembered to tip...

If you have an RV is shouldn't be a problem to find some parking nearby....even if it's the Walmart parking lot. Don't they still allow RV parking in there lots as long as it's not for a long period of time?

if it was in detroit, i'd say the RV would be better than most of the homes!

City proper for sure - I think you can buy a six pack (of houses) there for about $10.

There are some really nice places outside of Detroit proper.

by outside of detroit proper do you mean west of lansing?

No - That's where i used to live and all there is there is the dutch!!!

Ann Arbor is a ways out, but there are also suburbs much closer in that are very attractive. I'd certainly rather live in the detroit area than in lansing!

Dutch in Lansing? i thought they kept them in Holland? or do they just make their annual pilgramige for tulip-fest?

A few of them escaped years ago, and live in hiding.

MPF, where did you hail from? My wife used to hire a really nice old guy from Holland to carve shoes for their Dutch festival. He was a hoot, and an old coot too. :P

We visited them a couple years back. Was interesting. Also ate at a fantastic Italian/Greek restaurant in Grand Rapids.

Dutch are in Grand Rapids and Holland. I lived in GR (near downtown) for 14 years before moving to DC last summer. What was the restaurant you ate at? Or at least where was it?

It was this place. It's been over two years, but my wife still talks about it. I think they have banquet facilites too, and there was a very large wedding the night we were there. Restaurant was very good and almost empty, but there were people everywhere attending the wedding...

Didn't even click the link. I was there once - celebrated my college graduation there YEARS ago. It was quite good as I recall. We looked at doing our wedding celebration there, but it was Waaaaaaay over what my wife and I wanted to spend on it (and when your wife is actively monitoring the budget for that event, you KNOW she's a keeper!)

If you do this, you need to pick me up on the way.

He's taking his kids. No way he gets within a hundred miles of you.
