Or.......when I live in Arizona, only six 10:00 A.M. starts.
Noon starts: By far the biggest complaints of people in gated communities.
Exactly. Gardeners like to start much earlier.
Leaf-blowing at 7:00 A.M is bothersome.
Well, if GB can't get a good home stretch to finish...can't complain about the weather in Oak or Phx:
14 Sunday, December 13 DALLAS COWBOYS *3:25 p.m. _____
15 Sunday, December 20 at Oakland Raiders *3:05 p.m. _____
16 Sunday, December 27 at Arizona Cardinals *3:25 p.m. _____
17 Sunday, January 3 MINNESOTA VIKINGS *12 p.m
GB dodges having to play on Oakland infield. That infield/grass combo has claimed some ACLs.
Taking my 15 year old son to his first game this year, he's (we've) been waiting an eternity for this! We would also like to take a tour and hit up the town but really don't have any other plans. Any recs?
Narrowed it down to 3 games... Sea, Det and Dal. Can I expect to pay $250+/each for decent seats? Will the Sea game tics be a lot higher than the Det/Dal game?
Besides the obvious, any advantage/disadvantage to going to the 7:00? 3:00? or Noon game?
My apologies if this has been discussed before, I did a search but couldn't find anything.
The regular season doesn't seem to be the issue. White noise.
Noon games are great. Tailgate. Game. Time afterward to hang out in town and soak up the win. 3pm starts aren't bad either. Opponents of the 7pm kickoff include those that have to get to work early on Monday like Kiels gardener and livers.
Detroit game will be the cheapest ticket. Seattle will be a tough get.
Make sure to check out off campus places like The Jersey Store for Packer gear but definetley walk the Packer Pro Shop. New HOF will be open so make sure to leave a wad of gum on the new Favre tribute. A "Dine n Dash" at Favres steak house feels wildly liberating.
No such thing as a bad Lambeau roadie. Especially the sons first. Have a great time.
I thought 4 week stint vs division foes is toughest stretch overall with short week Thur game on Thanksgiving. Hey the turkey returns on Turkey Day lol
I wanted to go to AZ but will be in Sconnie for Christmas, maybe SF...
Favre got rid of all the Tebow talk
Arizona game is lookin like the one for me this year.

Piss on Favre. Bring back the Johnny Football talk.
ARZ game crowd will be 50% Packer fans. Count me as one of them.
My 2015 wish list:
Super Bowl win 62 miles from home. I miss WI. Badly.
Kicking Seattles ass.
Kicking SFs ass.
Thanksgiving win.
The stammering caveman Jim Tomsula popping his NFL coaching cherry against Minny week 1
Peyton Manning breaking Brett Favres yardage record week 8 against GB throwing for 263 yards but losing 45-17 with Aaron Rodgers answering post game questions with "I hope this doesn't detract from Brett's retirement ceremony"...
The NFL really worked hard to accommodate warm weather/dome teams not wanting to play in Green Bay the months of November and December.
Can't think of a better birthday present than seeing us pummel the Cowgirls at home in December!
Hey Cheeze do ya have any plans on December 27th ? 
LOVE this schedule - can't wait!
back to back at home in October - beautiful.
no more than two games on the road at a time.
has a nice flow to it. stay healthy and SUPER BOWL! 
Is it better with more home games early? Some will say yes to help aid the passing game.
What if we draft Todd Gurley & pound the rock in December & January?
Think about it.....

Think about it.....
I think Gurley will be selected in the first 10 picks. Other than Fowler Jr. Gurley might be the best player in this draft.
Much better shot at getting Gordon.....not saying I would be for that.

Are you asking the Packers to cherry-pick the home games so the Gold Package gets at least 1 decent match-up?
Teams have a certain amount of say regarding their schedule. After Bears fans made too good of a showing at County Stadium they never played in Milwaukee again per Green Bay's request. Too close to Chicago (sound familiar Brewer's fans?) I never saw the Bears play until I started going to Lambeau. Even then it took quite a few years before the old Milwaukee folks got a Bears game. That's not just a coincidence of scheduling by the league office.
I'm with Hungry on this, I didn't think that the teams really had much say, but that is fascinating about the Bears fans at County Stadium, and GB saying we are done. I thought they moved from County Stadium because they wanted to update Lambeau and they didn't want to throw that money at the stadium if the Packers were playing in two stadiums. Either way, interesting take.
The thing I noticed about the schedule, are those 4 divisional games in a row from Nov-Dec. It should open the division up, but my worry is that those games are usually pretty tough, (in general). Not so much getting the W, but coming out of them healthy.
From Demovsky this am:
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- In addition to the announcement of the regular-season schedule on Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers also finalized the dates for their four preseason games.
They are:
Thursday, Aug. 13: at New England Patriots, 6:30 p.m. CT
Sunday, Aug. 23: at Pittsburgh Steelers, 7 p.m. CT
Saturday, Aug. 29: vs. Philadelphia Eagles, 7 p.m. CT
Thursday, Sept. 3: vs. New Orleans Saints, 6 p.m. CT
Rules of the collective bargaining agreement state that players can report for training camp 15 days prior to the preseason opener. That means players likely will report to St. Norbert College on Wednesday, July 29 with the first practice expected to be Thursday, July 30.
The Packers typically hold their annual Family Night scrimmage a week before the preseason opener. However, it is usually held on a weekend night, so it's unclear how that will fall given the Thursday night game at New England to start the exhibition schedule.
With the huge NFCC rematch game against the Hags week 2 in Lambeau,
I hope the Pack doesnt lose focus @ the bares the week before.
Weve owned them for a while now but John Fox will have them ready.
As poor a matchup as they are against us, its their Super Bowl

It's week #1.....Is it big, yes of course, it's the Bears & it's a division game.
Win or lose, it's 1 game...
Also, we have the ace up our sleeve....
Be patient! .... and Jay will throw us the ball.

They got a divisional game for the 5th home game, Gold Package.

I meant the Bears never played there again not the Packers. According to wiki I had it wrong. 1974 was the only year Chicago played in County Stadium and the fans up in Green Bay crapped there pants because they didn't get the Bears game. So it never happened again. As far as cherry picking good games for the Gold folks, it would be nice because they've been doing it for the Green Bay folks for years.
For Twin Cities viewers, it looks like this:
Week 4 - Maybe, both teams on road in late afternoon game on different networks.
Week 9 - Same time/channel as queens
Week 10 - Same time/channel as queens
Week 15 - Probably not as Packers are at 3:05 and CBS has National Game, They're also playing the Raiders so unlikely to be flexed.
PFT says that the NFL scheduled the Cowboys to play a saturday game on the same day as 3 HS rootball championships are to be played at AT&T field. Opppps! But this won't be a problem for JJ, he will simply plan to sell out the stadium 4 times on the same day. The only ones going thru pregame warmups will be the people counting the money.

If the Germanys can bomb Pearl Harbor, then Berlin can be in Japan. Just sayin .........

Awesome, thanks for the breakdown.
