Green Bay Packers, Green Bay Wisconsin

Easily one of the most exciting stops we made on our trip through Wisconsin and Michigan was stopping at at Lambeau Field in Green Bay Wisconsin to see the home field of the Packers!

Let me take a moment to say that this is a CLASSY organization!  Our entire experience was tops.

We drove here early on a weekday in April- a very off day for NFL football.  Still, there was a good continuous crowd taking tours, going through the museum, and just hanging out.

AND the Packers organization STILL had the place looking perfect, even on this very day they still brought their A game.

When we got to Lambeau, we went to the ticket counter to purchase our tickets.  The very nice lady selling tickets had on a Super Bowl ring!  We said something about it, and she let my wife try her ring on!  VERY COOL!

She told us about how the organization actual took employees that had been there for a while to the Super Bowl!  She was also among the many employees who were given rings!

AND, everyone we talked to at Lambeau had a similar attitude.  Our tour guides, the people in the gift shop, the staff at Curly's....  everyone was great!


We ended up pretty much spending the entire day at Lambeau Field, which I hear is common.  We looked around the museum before our tour started, then we took our, tour.  After that, we had lunch at Curly's (GREAT FOOD by the way), next we finished up touring the museum, and lastly we spent some time in the gift shop. 

The tour of Lambeau was fun and casual.  It was easy to get from one point of the stadium to the other.  Our tour guides were a lot of fun.

The thing that impressed me the most was how the team is owned by the community- and the community takes great pride in this!

One of our tour guides mentioned that he is an owner, which, it seems provides a payout of only bragging rights, but those are some impressive rights!

For reasons relating to geography, I have always cheered for the Colts and the Steelers.  I love Indianapolis and Pittsburgh, and I have spent a lot of time in each town.  After hanging out there for so long, the local sports teams have grown on me (the same way of thinking does not apply to my former home city of Cleveland).

But, after touring Lambeau, and seeing how the team started and is ran today, I love this team!
