Wisconsin '08: Green Bay

On our way from Door County to Madison, we drove right through Green Bay. So of course, my football loving husband wanted to stop for a tour around Lambeau Field - home of the Green Bay Packers. I think it was one of the biggest highlights of the trip for him :)

Even at 10 in the morning on a Friday there were lots of people there. They have tours at 10, 10:30 and every 15 minutes starting at 11. The first two were already sold out when we arrived at 10. We got to see a little of the behind-the-scenes, but mostly they took us to the expensive private boxes and out to the field sidelines. We learned how much they've done to the field fairly recently, adding a lot more sets and all the private boxes around the stadium - which started at $30K a game and went up from there!

After the tour we had lunch at the pub above the Atrium. It was actually reasonably priced for an attraction like this - and it was really good.

Here's some more pictures from around the stadium - it was very impressive, I'm glad we stopped.
