Sooo, today I sold my old motorcycle (still have my baby) for $800. It was worth more but hey, riding season is over. I didn't want to sell it but it was the only way I was going to be able to go to my Graceland.
Anyway, the wife and I will be buying tickets for the 1/1/12 game vs. Detroit. I've been looking on eBay and have found some nice seats in the $450-$650 range, which is what I am wanting to spend while saving the rest for gas money for our 11 hour drive each way. This way I can try to only use my own money for spending cash and the hotel rate. I've decided to wait a couple weeks before ordering in hopes I can stumble upon a great deal on good seats in the meantime. Any suggestions on where to find good deals on seats?
Anyway, I started looking for a hotel and quickly realized all hotels IN Green Bay are already booked up for the 2 nights we will be staying. So I found a hotel in Appleton with great rates and i think we will be booking with them in the next couple days. Is this a nice town? Any problem with staying here?
Unfortunately, we won't be coming equipped for a tailgate because of the long travel distance, etc. I was hoping we could stumble upon and be welcome at an already established tailgate (or 3). What are the odds of this? Having a beer and a brat at a Lambeau tailgate is HIGH on my bucket list along with a trip to Lambeau (I've been to Packer games in Detroit and Pittsburgh). You have no idea how excited we are for this! !
And lastly, any suggestions on something to do on New Years Eve in or around Green Bay? Keep in mind we are still pretty young (30, 29) so we are not afraid to party , hehe.
Thanks in advance!
