[QUOTE="weeds, post: 252478, member: 39"] December 7 should be pretty warm yet. Up here in NE Wisconsin, we start to thinkin' about MAYBE closing windows and stuff about that time...so, you should be ok. Now, the styrofoam is a MUST, particularly depending on where you're sitting in Lambeau. If on the East side of the stadium, particularly the NE side ... you're open to winds coming in from the southwest corner of the stadium that doesn't have full enclosure (future expansion you know). In addition to the styrofoam ... make darn sure that you've got more than one pair of socks on...and I'm talking real socks - sweat socks are 'second' best. When I used to hit the cold weather games, I had a pair of battery operated hunting socks that ran off a "D" cell battery for each sock - and I'd take an extra battery along for each sock. I only bring it up because (take it from a grizzled Lambeau veteran) once your feet get cold ... you're not going to be able to enjoy the experience. Words of advice #2 -- don't think for one minute that alcohol acts as anti-freeze ... hahahaha.... it makes you colder. Game day parking: No ... the stadium lots are sold to season ticket holders. If you're driving your own vehicle, there is a ton of parking available at a price of course. People plow out their back yards along almost all of the side streets surrounding the stadium. If you get there early enough or get lucky, you might even find an open spot on one of the side streets that won't cost you. Rule of thumb ... the closer you get to the stadium with your vehicle, the more it will cost you to park, and the longer it will take you to get out after the game. Suggestion: Marty's Boston Crab on Lombardi Ave (East of the stadium). $35 per all you can eat (and it's GOOD stuff!! they don't hold nothing back) and drink, including a Bloody Mary bar, parking and ride to and from the stadium. Tailgating ... I've advised this here before ... you tell any Packer tailgater where you're from and that it's your first visit to Lambeau and 200:1 you're going to get force-fed by these people...your buddy in his Ravens jersey will be treated royally if he doesn't talk ****, ya know? There is also a HUGE tailgate area constructed now in the East Lambeau parking lot .. it is put on by the Packers so... my guess is, it'll 'cost' - never been in it but they have live music and the whole schtick from what I understand. After the game... the spots on Holmgren Way ... you can essentially walk from bar to bar. [/QUOTE]
