[QUOTE="cheesey, post: 139493, member: 419"] It was a really great time there this year. I wasn't expecting much when i first got there, as the 4 autographs only thing kind of had me down. I got Coach McCarthy's autograph for Friday, and Cullen Jenkins, Don Beebe and Will Blackmon for Saturday. Saturday, while I was waiting in line, some people that I had met at the previous Fan Fests saw me and just GAVE me tickets for Robert Brooks and Nick Barnett's autographs. I was telling another guy how I wanted to get Aaron Kampman's auto on a pic I took of him at practice 2 years ago, and how i didn't get his ticket. The guy told me he had Kampmans auto allready, and gave me a ticket for his auto. Alot of the people had left early, so alot of the players had time left over after they had signed the "ticket" autographs, so they started just signing for anyone that wanted their autograph. So beacuse of that, i also got Corey Williams, Fuzzy Thurston, LeRoy Butler, Patrick Dendy Daryn Colledge and Nick Collins! I also got Bob Harlan's sig on a pic i took of him. Friday night, Fuzzy Thurston was signing copies of his book (for $40) and I didn't have the money to buy one, so i asked if i could get my picture taken with him. He motioned me to come over, and i had a guy snap it for me. Hopefully it will turn out good. I took the locker room tour, and it was really neat. They opened the training room and weight room, so we could see that too. I also learned that they have a full basketball court, and a couple racket ball courts, and a golf simulator. They also have their OWN barber shop, and they bring up a barber from Milwaukee to do the African American players hair for them the way they want it. Bart Starr was there Friday night as a surprise guest. I wasn't one of the lucky ones to get his ticket though. They had Fan Fest employees going around and handing out blank auto tickets for it randomly. They didn't even tell the people what it was for. One guy tried to trade his for a Nick Barnett ticket, but the guy wouldn't trade! (I bet the guy with the Barnett ticket was kicking himself AFTER he found out what he missed out on!) All in all, it was a fun time that turned out better then i thought it would! [/QUOTE]
