Dodd, I got there around 10am and didnt leave til 10pm. I did leave to poty and eat..LOL.. I actually would have stayed longer because there was still players cars parked outside.
I didnt make a sign but I seen that it was working for others so you may want to think about that. Lots of players do not stop going in some do, but you will get most of them going to their cars and out of the gates. Bob Harlan stopped by us around 8pm I first thought it was Bates and even called him Mr. Bates, he then said he was sorry but he wasnt who I thought he was, but when I looked at him I knew I had made a mistake and we both laughed, he signed a huge autograph on the arm of my Packer coat. I wanted to get Mike Shermans auto someone told me he doesnt come out til after 10pm but we were tired and left, I now wished I would have waited. This was in 2005.
This past August at training camp, is where I got an auto from Hawk, Bigby, Blackmon, Ryan, Rodgers and somemore I just cant think of at this moment. I also shook Drivers hand as he passed me on his bicycle. He said "Hey baby" so cool. I also walked along with some other players, we have pictures of them all. It was such a neat experience, everytime I go I want to stay.
Where are you staying Dodd after the game, or are you flying back out that night?
You will have an incredible experience.
