Jarrett,

I just saw your original post about Lambeau Field. It may be too late to answer, but here goes any way. My wife and I just attended a game at Lambeau on Oct. 12th. We're from Texas, and I am a died in the wool Cowboy fan. My wife, however, has been pulling for the Packers her whole life, and unfortunately the virus infected several of the kids. Two of my daughters forsook the sunny South for the frozen tundra (they moved to Green Bay), and I have now had the occasion to enjoy such things as eating in Bret Favre's restaurant, taking in the Packer Hall of Fame (where you can watch them beat Dallas's butt in the famous Ice Bowl over and over every day of the week-actually seeing the Packers do that once in real time was enough for a life time. You'd think the Packers only won that one game.), and finally my wife and I attended a Packer's game at Lambeau. My new inlaws work for a company with a permanent tail gate party in the Lambeau parking lot. They weren't going to the game, but they met us in the parking lot and took us to their tail gate party. I even wore a Packer sweat shirt, and let my wife take my picture in it. My wife threatened to divorce me, if I even mentioned Cowboys the whole day.

So based on my vast experience, all the seats in Lambeau are good seats, but they have no backs on them. Your inlaws need to take a stadium seat with a back for the few occasions when they can actually sit down during the game. They ought to get there very early and spend some time in the parking lot, which is one big tail gate party every where you look. And those folks will share their food with you. There's absolutely no doubt about it, Packer fans are the greatest fans any football team ever had. The next closest are New Orleans fans. And the Lambeau parking lot does remind one of New Orleans during Mardi Gras before, during, and after the game.

Your inlaws are going to have a blast!! Especially if they are Packer fans, you couldn't have given them a better present. If I lived in Green Bay, I'd still be a Cowboy fan (I've been supporting them since Eddie LaBaron was their quarterback and that's longer than most readers here have been alive), but I'd go to every Packer game I could. When you go to a Cowboy game nearly everybody has on some type of team clothing. But when you look out over the crowd, you don't just see blue and silver. There's every color imaginable there. When you go to a Packer game and look out at the crowd in Lambeau, all you see is green and gold. Everybody ought to get to attend a Packer home game at Lambeau, so they can go back home to their respective teams and know how a football game is supposed to be enjoyed.
