Road trip

artisMember

I'm seriously considering a road trip to Green Bay (from PA) should the Pack get to the Super Bowl. My stepson and I discussed a year ago, that if they go back in 2011 we would drive up and immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of the hometown fans.

I read yesterday that last year the Atrium and restaurants were closed on SB Sunday- is this what I should expect this year as well? Seems like they'd draw a great crowd if they showed the game in the stadium, no?

Just wondering if anyone has any relevant info to pass along, and looking to put a gameplan together..any help is much appreciated!

Since the Saints are clearly the best team in the NFC, you may as well not worry about it.

FS, funds are an issue, and making the trip will be enough without the cost a 2 tickets for a title game. It isn't a must to see a game, more to the point was hangin with fans in town for such a big game.

Seriously, the atmosphere around the whole state leading up to SB XLV was awesome. You'd have a great time if you came up to GB. I'm sure the Stadium View and other sports bars around Lambeau are open. I'd imagine getting a hotel wouldn't be too hard, but maybe a lot of folks do what you're thinking about as well.

It's kinda funny, I've laid out this plan to friends and co-workers, and they almost unanimously respond by saying, "Why don't you just go to the Super Bowl in Indy?". They don't get that to this Packer fan the best place to be is in the town itself, among the fans closest to our team. I've been there a number of times, for camp, and games, but a SB visit seems like it would be a great time.

Back in 1993 or 1994 (forget which) Packers were in Chicago for a MNF game (monsoon game Halloween night where Favre rushed for a 39 yd TD). We went up to Green Bay to watch the game. (No monsoon in Green Bay. It was dry that night)

I think Packer fans are the only fans that will understand what artis is wanting to do.

Went home to Milwaukee last year to watch the game with my 79-year-old father.

Just booked a trip home for this Super Bowl-----call me confident!

The vibe in Milwaukee was cool to absorb,

Bring alot of beer money and prepare for the old hangover or two when you join the rest of the Packer fanatics in the local establishments,I heard they pour a little green food coloring into the suds of each of their many glasses of brew.

All the Bars in Green Bay have good parties for the Super Bowl. You just have to get there early if you want a seat so plan an all day event. Make sure you have taxi money stashed away for the ride back to the hotel.

So I'm torn between staying at the Hilton,within walking distance, or a cheaper place like Super 8, in which case I'd have to drive to get near Lambeau....does anyone know if the stadium lot is open for parking in such a case?

Check the Best Western Midway Motor Lodge, Days Inn, and Roadstar Inn for cheaper options near Lambeau. All are closer than the Hilton. Super 8 is at least 4 miles away
