So my 3 favorite were all unique, except for 1 thing: we didn't win any of them.
1: preseason game in 96 at the rca dome against the colts. Got smashed. It was my first real football game (if you exclude the Racine Raiders vs kokomo mustangs). Also learned then that indiana sports fans are horrible fans of all sports. I was 15 and we got beer dumped on us on the way out of a 30 pt loss bc we were wearing green and gold. Ever since then have lived in indy and the fans of all teams here are both fairweather and ridiculously obnoxious at the same time. Half of them are broncos fans now (they are selling broncos sb gear locally like I live in Colorado).
2: nfc championship game 2007 season. Coldest I have ever been. So cold that ay halftime, people were crowding around the exit to the bathrooms to catch the heaters blowing. As a gift, purchased 2nd row at goalline for my dad and i. I was out there while Plaxico was warming up in nothing but under armour and a full face mask before the game right in front of us on the sideline. I asked him sarcastically if it was warm enough for him. He just laughed and said " warm?!? Boy... I'M HOT OUT HERE!". He was right, it was one of his best games ever. It was favres last game as a packer. I will always remember 3 things: 1. favre during TV timeouts looked tired, cold, and like he didn't want to play that day. 2. The crowd surging when they missed the fg at the end of regulation. It warmed up about 40 degrees it seemed in moments. 3. We got really good parking close to the stadium when we arrived. It took us 2 hours to get out of our parking spot after the game. I still blame myself for the loss, talking trash to plax before the game.
3. 2014 packers vikings lambeau. Horrible ugly game. Wife's first trip to gb. She is a colts fan, and was in awe of the atmosphere inside the stadium. Said it reminded her of high school games as close as she felt to the field. It was the Matt Flynn in after halftime game. We were ugly that game, but each time I left my seat to go get a beer or pee, we would score. I knew we had the playoffs, as long a shot as it was at that time, on the line. After the 2nd score to get us back in the game, I knew what I had to do: I went down, kissed my wife and told her the team needed me. Everyone around us was yelling " go back inside!" bc we kept scoring when I left my seat. I went back into the concourse and watched the entire 2nd half and full ot with my hand on a pillar and watching on one of those 17 inch tvs. We went to a tie, which kept our playoff hopes alive and gave birth to beating the Bears at the end of the season on a ridiculous pass from AR to get us into the playoffs in dramatic fashion. My wife understood!
Those are my hands down most memorable packers games attended in person.
