Yes, the rumors are true…. I finally made it to a game at Lambeau Field. Still in shock and replaying the day in my head. Little back story for ya.

When I signed my contract to come to Fond du Lac, WI, I immediately looked to see how far I was going to be from Green Bay. Close enough for me! As I am looking for tickets, my brother texts me saying, “If I buy you Packers tickets for Christmas, can you find someone to go?” Heck yes! Even if I go by myself, I am going to a game.

Fast forward, to a few weeks before the game, my dad texts me, “I will volunteer to go to the Packers game if you don’t have anyone in mind.” Well, could this get any better! Side note: my dad hates the cold and hates how long the TV timeouts are in the NFL. So, this definently surprised me and couldn’t tell him no.

Now, New Years Day has arrived and the Green Bay Packers are fighting for a playoff spot. They smoke the Vikings, in which turns their game on 1/8 vs. Detroit to be a “win or go home” type of game.

PRIME TIME BABYYYYY

You already know when game day arrived my dad and I were there at least 5 hours before kick-off to experience the true Green Bay tailgate atmosphere. Highly recommend:

-Johnson Tailgate Center (right outside the stadium)
-Miller Lite bar (inside the stadium; to keep warm and get draft beers)
-Hall of Fame (inside the atrium of the stadium)
-Cheese curds, Brats, and Beer = Green Bay Tailgate Package

These were all amazing and would go again in a heartbeat!

My dad said it best, “NFL game, college atmosphere, high school community.”
