Fitting that his building ends up like so many of his big game opportunities over his last 10 seasons.
Putting up another overpriced hotel. Brilliant.
Interception Tech would have been a good replacement business.
GBFanForLife, GB does need more hotel rooms and the price will depend on the amount of traffic and the season.
I'm guessing this is in the 'Titletown' plans.
The linked article stated it will be "nearly 80 rooms". Seems a little on the small side but it was TOG's place, after all.
Limited availability and location will likely keep the in-season price on par with other upscale hotels.
They need more hotel rooms for when they host the Super Bowl.

And draft
Build the hotel. But plan for each suite having an immersive VR setup, just in case.
Did anyone ever eat the restaurant when it was owned by Favre? Or did it just have his name on it...
I did.
The noodles were limp.
Thanks for teeing that one up.

We would eat there occasionally after it opened. I think initially Favre was a partner in it, and then he was bought out but and just allowed the use of his name. It was good not great, overpriced in my opinion. I think they wanted it to be a more upper class dining experience, which is a little out of place considering the location. Prime rib was good though.
You tried the limp noodles?
Not judging.
I actually ordered a hamburger, but it was intercepted by the table next to me.
I ate there once when he owned it. It was such a memorable experience, the memory has been locked in a hidden compartment in the "way back" vault of my brain. (I.e., I don't remember anything more than I had been there and paid too much for something.)
I ate there once when my son was in high school. We went to the Packer HOF, did the stadium tour, went to a practice, and ate at Favre's restaurant. We were seated and the waitress gave us menus. All at once my son's eyes light up - "Dad, dad, did you see these prices!?" I told him this is a once in a lifetime thing - we will find what we want to eat and order it. So we did - and had a great time. Every once and a while he would mention it to me with a big smile.
Ate there after game vs. Vikes in 1999 on my first game at Lambeau. Waiting for a table at the bar, a number of players came in and went to a private room in the back. Every time one of them would come in the room would erupt and part for them to walk between. Nice memory!
Great story GoL. But....
I never ate there...ever. Why? Because Prime Quarter is the place to be.
Take your son to Prime Quarter & create even better memories while you both cook your own steak that you choose.

You mean I have to cook????? I am not good at that like a lot of you are. Anyway, that was around the year 2000. My son is now married, in the USAF, and has 3 kids - I think the ship has sailed on him and I doing anything together in the near future. But thanks for the idea. 
Ate there once. Very unimpressed. Lombardi's Steakhouse in Appleton was much better.
I made multiple reservations but then cancelled them. Until they traded me to another steakhouse.

Better yet, take him some place where they let him kill his own cow.
I guarantee you he won't forget that.

Been there, done that. At home growing up on the farm. All day event. Lots of blood and lots of meat. It wasn’t bad until my mom cooked the steaks (pre-grill days). She cooked anything and everything out of them and they were almost unchewable. It took me a long time to learn how to grill a good steak medium rare with incredible juices.
Nothing beats medium rare. When younger, my wife and I would go out to eat, she'd order a steak medium well, leave half of it and would eat the baked potato. Drove me nuts. She said she's never "liked" steak. Finally got her to try my medium rare ribeye off the grill one night.
She's never gone back.
EC, Cograts on getting your wife away from well done steak which in my opinion is a crime against humanity. The only thing worse in my book is plain cheese pizza.
My wife was kind of the same way. Everyone in her family are crazy picky and won't eat anything and they all like their steak well done until I got her to try it medium rare and she will now give them crap for eating it well done.

On the one hand I have a few grand kids who would disagree. Don't worry though, by the time they are 10 they will be telling me about pizza's I've never heard of.
On the other hand, I would never go to Brett Favre's Restaurant and over pay for a plain cheese pizza.

I grew up on the farm also. The roasts were great, the steaks not so much. I won't bad mouth my mom's cooking - that's just the way it was back then. When I met my future husband, he talked about the best eating places to order a steak. And I'm "Why would anyone order a steak?" I have since been enlightened.

Same thing with my mom and mother-in-law. Always suspected it was a product of the era they grew up in (my mom is 96).
Is that what that is?! Christ, I used to hate roast beef until I left home and actually had non-incinerated meat. A chalk outline and an arson investigation wouldn't have been out of the question.
Maybe the thinking was parasite prevention. "Trust me, nothing could live through that". You knew what was for dinner when mom had the welding helmet on.
Maybe we just need the "Man's Kitchen" ...........
Chicken & Turkey are even worse when over cooked. We could never get to in-laws house early enough on Thanksgiving to "save the bird". She's be cooking the damn thing overnight. When I'd take it out to carve it the bird would fall apart.
Gravy. Absurd amounts of gravy. We made sure there were buckets of gravy.
I think everybody knows somebody who orders steak or prime rib, well done. When asked why they do that, they usually say something to the effect that if it is cooked medium rare, it's still alive, or that the cut of meat is bloody when cooked medium rare and who wants to eat blood? I wonder how they cook burgers? I guess it's good to have extra charcoal for the next incineration. I'll take my steaks and prime rib medium rare, thank you!
That's when you point out that the red juice isn't blood. It's myoglobin, a protein stored inside muscle.
Then you can contrast between blood and myoglobin after being stabbed with a steak knife.

To me its cool if grandkids only eat cheese pizza I think that's kind of normal thing for kid up until about 10 or so. My step kids are in their mid twenties and you can almost see them convulse turning up their noses if pizza has anything on it.
