Of this, Yoda has no knowledge. Much training we need.
I firmly believe the Patriots are the antichrist.

Titletown Brewing Company was the name of a microbrewery Mrs BearSkins and I stopped at a couple of years ago. Some nice beers and I can recommend the Bison on beer bread. Tasty.

The place is an old train station if memory serves. Here's a pic I took.

Thats funny.
You obviously have never been to Green Bay!

I went for the Redskin Pack game several years ago, Sunday 4:00 game. They started drinking at noon. We tailgated, and I was anxious to eat. Trouble was no one brought any food.
I'm not talking about the people I was with.
I'm talking everyone.
They drink, and drink, and drink some more.

To eat you have to go to Brett Favre's place. Just ask anyone in GB about it. They all know wher e it is.

After the game I swear the entire town is one big tent.
And guess what theyre doing under the tent?
Thats right; theyre drinking some more!

No worries though; the street corners have little kiosks, street vendors, operating til all hours of the morning. Greatest bratwurst I have ever had.

By the way, dont for a second think I am belittling the fine folks of Green Bay.
Nicest stadium I have ever seen.
Greatest football experience.
I wore my Fred Smoot jersey and they ribbed me the entire game but always good naturedly. No matter where I went.
By far the nicest people I have ever met.

Hope you have as wonderful a time as I had!!

Eric

PS That stadium is built on an Indian reservation, so do NOT wear any Indian headbands!!

The Raddison is right across the street from the airport and just a few blocks from Lambeau. I fly up to Green Bay from Arkansas every July to an airshow. There is also a casino attached to the raddison. Have Fun!

I'd suggest Brett Favre's Steakhouse also (about 2 blocks away from Lambeau), or Curly's Pub (located in the Stadium) or if you like wings then Buffalo Wild Wings (on Odeida St.). I believe that there is a Best Western right on Holmgren Way/Lombardi AVE (same block as Resch Center and Don Hutson Center) which is only a block away. If you are bringing kids you might want to check out the Tundra Lodge which is right off Lombardi AVE about a quarter mile from the field, they have an indoor waterpark and nice rooms. Pretty much everyone at the field will be drunk and you will most certainly get heckled, but it's still a good time and you get to sit on sweet benches.
