Green Bay born and raised Packer fan and now located in DePere, Wi about five miles from Lambeau Field. My hobby is giving information about the Green Bay Packer and City of Green Bay, especially to football fans conimg to Green Bay for the first time.
Green Bay Packer fans always reserve their rooms on the first day when Packers announced the Packer home games schedule . The" rule of thumb" for Green Bay Hotels for Packer home game weekends is premium price and a two day minimum. Premium price in most cases is to double the price of the room. As an example -if the hotel room rates iare regularly $50.00 a day, during Packer home game weekends there rates may be " jacked up" to $100.00 a day during the Packer home games weekend with a minimum of two days. would be $200.00 (this would be a smaller older Motel in GB area and there are still a few around
So most Green Bay hotels & motels are sold out right away when the Packer home game schedule is announced. how ever there are smaller cities about 15 miles to 50 miles around Green Bay who might have Hotel rooms available and at less cost per room. Such Cities as Oconto, Algoma, Kewaunee, Sturgeon Bay, (Marinette, and it's twin city Menominee, Mi.) Peshtigo, Appleton, Neenah/Menasha, Manitowoc, Sheboygan, Shawano and others.
I don't know who the room rate system works in Motels and hotels in the cities in the area around Green Bay on Packer home game weekend .
Green Bay is the smallest city in NFL and has of metro area population of only 220,000. It just doesn't have enough hotels & motels to take care of all the Packer fans needing hotel rooms, for a Packer home game weekend ,so the cities around Green Bay "pick up" the fans who need hotel rooms for Packer games and can't get them in Green Bay. .
I Suggest yellow pages for these cities mentioned, I think are available on websites
The Packer Country Visitor & Convention Bureau is the "clearing house" for hotel rooms in Green Bay. They can tell you which hotels in Green Bay have hotel rooms available. They can advise you how to find information about the other cities I have mentioned.
Toll free number for Packer Country Visitor & Convention Center Bureau is 1-866-867-3342 and E mail address in www. packercountry.com
If you want economy prices, you have to look at smaller motels that may have been built in 50's , 60's and 70's etc in the Green Bay area. They are clean and neat. Such as as:
Mariner Motel (920- 437-3760) North Star (920-499-6253), , Sky-lit Motel (920) 494-5641), Tower Motel (920-468-1242), Village Inn (920-437-0525) , Bay Motel (920-494-3441) The Bay is good Motel with good room rates & and has a good family priced Restaurant . The Bay Motel usually has no vacancies at this late date. But you can try.
There is the Oconto Motel in Oconto, WI. Located 25 minutes away from GB on HIWAY 41 north (920-834-2000)
tHERE IS THE Classic's Motel located 15 minutes from GB on Hiway 32 north in Pulaski, Wi. (920-822-8339.)
Also the Sunset Beach Hotel located 15 minutes from GB on hiway 57 north in Dykesville Wi. (920-866-2978)
The above small motels are just some of the motels available located outside of GB which might have reasonable motel room rates.Thsy might have room vacancies.
You might find a good smaller motel with good rates ,even at this late date, but you are going to have work to find it.
Be sure to leave time to see the Atrium at Lambeau and take in Tailgating at Lambeau Field before the game, it will starts early - All day!!
Because Kick off is at 7:00 pm for the Packer -Bear game on Sunday October 7th. Packer fans now how to tailgate in style here in GB.
If you need any other information about Green Bay, such as popular Sports Bars & Grills, or points of interest to see while in GB -just ask me on this topic or use PM (private message) function on this packerforum. to contact me. I will monitor this topic.
