[QUOTE="greenbegas, post: 100568, member: 510"] Here it goes: Not only my favorite tailgaiting story, my favorite Packers story of all time! In 1989, the Pack was back. Majik was the new leader and everything was looking up. The Chicago Bears were in town and my dad, uncle, two cousins, sister and I made the trek from Marinette to Green Bay for the game. None of us had any tickets and for those of you who have been to Packers/Bears games, you know how much scalpers charge. For this game they were through the roof because the Pack actually had a chance to win for once. We were going to tailgate and then if we couldnt get cheap tickets we were going to go to Showbiz pizza to watch it in their bar area. So anyway, we started about an hour before the game started to search for tickets. 300 dollars each, 250, 225.... we were going to have no chance. But then, about 20 min. before game time a man came up to my father and started talking to him. This man remembered my dad from the pizza parlor he owned about ten years before that in GB. The man was an undercover police man! My dad asked him if he could help us get face value tickets. He said sure. So we went up to a scalper with six tickets in a row. My dad said "how much?" The scalper replied, "250 each." Then out of no where, the cop slapped the cuffs on the guy! His face turned as white as a ghost and the cop told him "either you sell these fine people these tickets for face value or you're coming downtown." The guy thought about it for two seconds and agreed to sell them to us for face value!! This story wouldnt be that great, but it was one of the most famous Packers games in history, the "instant replay game!!" I will never forget that day and the luck that a guy who like Brother's Three Pizza and my dad hooked us up with great seats to a great game! [/QUOTE]
