Current Events > I just bought tickets for Packers-Bucs at Lambeau Field in December

(+) Yeah! (+)

I've been a Packers fan since I was 6 years old, so this feels like a long overdue pilgrimage. At the same time, I'm a native Floridian, so this might be suicide. But at least I'll die a happy popsicle?

You going to any games this year, CE?

Nah too lazy to go to MetLife

Oh shit, I might actually go to that game as well. Already done the plane/ticket/hotel research.

Nice! I'm going with my friend who is a Bucs fan. We're also both Gators fans.

But we both hate the Penguins (as much as we hate any hockey team, and assuming I'm interpreting your name right).

Green Bay during a game is a magical place. You'll have lots of fun there, TC.

You are indeed. I'd be going with a lifelong Packers fan.

Might go to the Giants vs Chargers game. Went to the amazing Jets vs Rams game last year.

So we're like mirrors!

I kinda hope it snows. If I'm going to the frozen tundra in December, it may as well snow, right? I hate snow and cold under any other circumstances, but this time it would feel right.

I'd be pretty happy with snow, would kinda be like the cherry on top. Just hope its not too crazy.

If you're flying, which airport are you using...if you wanna answer. Seemed like the further ones in Wisconsin were cheaper but then with the rental car who knows.
---

I looked at a few options a month back but didn't reach any conclusions. Gotta get the rest sorted out now that it's official. Rental cars can be pretty cheap if you get one from an airport. But then I'd need good weather.

Nice. I've toured it but never seen a game there. My wife has 3 sets of relatives with season tickets, one of which works for the organization. I've held his 2011 Superbowl ring. My wife has seen 3 games there and one day I will too even though I'm not a GB fan.

All pretty cool even for a non-fan. Got another team?

The team that will win it all this year, the Raiders!

I was looking at the tours but don't think we'll have a chance. But I plan on being one of the first people in and waiting till they kick us out to leave.

Unlikely football tickets are way too expensive

Hadn't thought about this yet either, but sounds like a great idea. May as well take it all in.

I view this as a pilgrimage, but I actually think my fooball holy grail might be a Packers and Bears game at Soldier Field, where the Packers win, of course. Some day I'll be there for it.

Freezing builds character.

UW Huskies game (Cause they play Cal)
Plenty of Seattle Mariners (Actually like this team, plus lol Giants)
Tacoma Rainiers game coming up (go there 1 time a year)

Probably no NFL since I like the Raiders and will be busy when I'm down there.

I hate the Seahawks and their fanbase

But then they're going to Vegas! It's your last chance! (in Oakland)
