Trip to Titletown-Doing the Lambeau Leap in Green Bay!

8-30-12

We were bound for Titletown!   We left Algoma at 12:45 and headed to Green Bay for the last pre-season game that was to begin at 6 PM.  My husband’s family owns season tickets, pased down from his late father.  We are big Packer fans.

Bridge to Green Bay

It was so exciting to be there, Lambeau Field is BIG, they underwent some renovations not too many years ago. They have been adding more seats as well. This is a drive-by shot. We found are big fans also of free parking so we found a spot in a nearby neighborhood not too far from the stadium.

Lombardi neighborhood 🙂

We began our walk to the stadium, Packer worship was quite evident, more here than anywhere else in WI.

We were with a large crowd of people heading to the stadium..

The excitement was high as we were admitted into the Atrium. it is HUGE! Here is a view from the 3rd floor.

We found our seats, it had a great view of the field and one of the screens.

Cheerleaders

The game began with a large Packer Flag and the National Anthem.

We really had fun at the game, being there is far different than watching it on TV, so real!

92 Degrees

Our favorite part of the game was a photo with “St. Lombardi”, a big fan present at nearly every game who has a cool Bishop-like costume adorned in Packer regalia. Our “crazy character” picture of the month.

What a great day, Go Pack Go!
