Glad I did it.

I got two tickets from a VA benefactor to Thursday night's Packer game at Lambau field. Could not have asked for a better night. The temperature was mild shirt sleeve weather. It was way better than any of the times I've been to see the Brewers. I don't know if it was televised, but the game was an edge of your seat ending. Our third string offense really sucks. Remember the name Jason Hurel. The lad is a bone head, and we do NOT want him having to fill in for an injured Rogers. Because of how weak the third string offense is, we came within seconds of a loss. Defense however was excellent and I hope they have room or a few of those lads.

I was surprise to learn Green Bay is just 2:40 hours away. We made good time up and had an excellent tail gate even with parking costing FORTY DOLLARS! Ye-ouch! The Brewers give disabled permit cars 1/2 off parking. No such luck with the Packers. The night was mildly spoiled to find that some dirtbag decided my $15 Smokey Joe knock off was something he wanted. I'd gotten a few uses out of it so it wasn't a real bad loss.

All in all, glad I went. Good seats, good view, lots of nice people. Thinking about it now that I've been there, I would NEVER go to one of those frozen tundra games. LOL I'm delicate!!

The game was televised I was watching it. I seen that it was packed there. I am glad you enjoyed yourself. I can't believe that it cost that much to park there. But then again the money does go to the players. I hope you did get good parking.

I agree with you about the third string. They do suck. I would never want the third string to fill in at all. They need a lot of practice time to get better.

We had to rely on the computer to watch so that was good. I have to agree the third string needs some help.
I saw where the Today Show will be there next Thursday for the opening game. I wish it were me.
Glad you had a good time Huck.

sounds like great fun, glad you had a blast (tho that parking fee still has me in shock, wow!) and really glad the weather cooperated nicely :)

Glad you had a good time, Huck. That parking fee is a ripoff and too bad about the grill.

Maybe the person that stole you grill will use some of that Gel Fuel that was recalled, and set himself on fire. Hee, Hee.

Glad that you had a great time Huck!

I've been to Lambeau Field twice to see Packer preseason games and both times I had a great time. The second time I brought my son, whom was completely bored out his mind by the second half.
