A few years ago my two oldest sons made that possible. I'd go again in a flash. You just have to know how to dress for the occasion. We also did the whole Field and Museum tour. It was fantastic and I'd love to go again. I'm emotionally invested in what the Packers are *as a whole franchise* and not just in the wins and losses. They are the only publicly owned, non-profit team in the NFL (Or NBA, or MLB). They embody the small town all american life. The history of the Green Bay Packers is rich and deep. As I understand it, the charter even specifies that money over and above operating expenses set aside for the next year are given to charities, not some fat cat owner or swindling owners (ala Wilfs). There is a long list of charities the Packers support. If the team ever goes belly up, a rich fat cat owner cannot buy them. The liquidation goes to the Green Bay American Legion I think. The Packers can't be considered for a move to London, or LA or such places.  So going to a game in Green Bay is like travelling to football Mecca for me. Yup, I'd use the tickets because (cue the oom pah pah music), I LOVE MY GREEN BAY PACKERS.<a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/commentary/news/story?page=hruby/110131" target="_blank">http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/commentary/news/story?page=hruby/110131</a></blockquote>
