Longtime “lurker” here, and a pretty much lifelong Packer fan. Born in 1987, lived in Sheboygan from 1992 through 1997, and have been a diehard Cheesehead ever since. I will be FINALLY heading back to my homeland for the Bears game in September, timed to also watch my alma matter (Utah State) attempt to take down the Badgers at Camp Randall two days later. I am looking for a little advice as I plan this trip, and am hoping I can get some advice here.
1) Traffic: I was initially thinking about flying into Green Bay and out of Milwaukee, but the rental car price for 3 days is so much higher ($270) than flying into and out of Milwaukee ($72), and the flights are also about $70 cheaper. Considering this is a “Gold package” game, will the traffic from the Milwaukee airport up to Green Bay be insane? I plan to fly into Milwaukee by about 10, so I would be on the road by about 11. Would I have any issue getting to Lambeau considering it is a Thursday night game? I plan to stay in the Sheboygan area after the game.
2) Tickets: Right now stubhub is listing tickets starting at about $225 a piece. Should I expect prices to go up or down as gameday approaches. I realize that the combination of playing the Bear, along with a Gold package game, make the tickets that much harder to come by. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
3) What to do on the off-day? Friday is wide open, and I would like to find something to do that my better half would enjoy. She is also an Aggie alum, and a converted (somewhat) Packer fan, but to get her excited about the trip I need a killer Friday planned. We’re open to staying pretty much anywhere in the Green Bay, Milwaukee, Madison area on Friday night considering the football game is not until Saturday night. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any and all assistance!
