[QUOTE="NCPackerfan, post: 10681, member: 29"] This thread gives me the perfect opportunity to see if some of my fellow Packer fans can help me out with a dilemma. As you can tell from my forum name, I live in North Carolina, specifically Charlotte. A number of years ago, I met, through my work, a Packer fan that had moved to NC, but had control over his families 4 season tickets. We started flying up for one game a year starting in 1999 (we're going to the Saints game this year). The last couple of years, I've been thinking about bringing my wife and two daughters, ages 6 & 9 up to a game so they can experience the thrill that a game at Lambeau can be. As it turns out, my wifes brother is getting married in Minneapolis New Years weekend so I got this bright idea to bring my family up for the Bears game on X-mas day and then stay in Wisconsin the following week before the wedding. What I'm concerned about is, with the game at the end of the season, the Packers could struggle this year and basically be out of any playoff chances by week 15 and worse yet, Brett Favre could finally get banged up enough during the season to cause him to miss the game. One of the other reasons I want to come to this game with my family is that this could be Favres last year and I'd really like for them to see him play in person. My only other option is to gamble that he will come back next year (2006) and then bring the family up to an early season game when we could enjoy the great early fall weather up there and stand a better chance of seeing Brett under center. I wouldn't be agonizing over this if we lived within reasonable driving distance of Green Bay, but to fly a family of 4 up there is going to be expensive.
