Anyone else get the email from the lady from VRBO about her house for rent for the weekend? There was a dozen or so email addresses she sent out a blast to this morning. Basically auctionion off her house and starting her bid at $3600 for 3 nights. She says to respond with reasons why your party should get the house. Read between the lines- she's asking people to bid higher and they will get it for the weekend.

Just curious if any other Ranters were looking at the property.

Im sure AirBnB will have more reasonably piced places to stay than that if you needed a house option.

That really isn't that much out of line. As you all know, hotels and other options in Green Bay are limited. The cool thing is is that Lambeau butts right up next to a neighborhood. So, if the woman's backyard view is Lambeau Field...it could be worth it.

My advice is to look for spots up Nicolet Drive/past UW-GB campus area. We've always found airbnb/vrbo for Lions-Pack games.

That's basically what the 4br houses directly across the street were going for. They advertise how they have an awesome back yard for tailgating then say they let people park in the yard for games to make extra money.

I've already made my own plans, I sent out several emails to people on VRBO. I just thought it was interesting that this lady was sending out a mass email advertising for highest bidder.

The price is a little high, but she said it will sleep 14 people. If you aren't familiar with Green Bay, it is a tiny town with few hotels. Most people with houses within a mile from the stadium rent their properties out on Game Day for mega bucks. My brother and I went up there a few years ago and parking is a premium. You park in yards, gas stations, etc. Very different from college campus parking or even Saints parking.

people on St Charles did not charge that much for a week during the SB/Mardi Gras...Lady is mad but luckily for her some Tiger Fan will pay the asking price.

For 3 nights, I believe we payed around $2,900. Of course, the house was as close to Lambeau as you can get. It really was awesome staring at one of football's greatest cathedrals while grilling and hanging out in the backyard all weekend.

After doing a little research, there are dozens of properties around the stadium asking similar rates. They have been doing this a long time and I'm sure they have a better idea of the market than you or me.

Email is from Patricia Blank:

quote:

Hello, I am responding to everyone that showed interest in staying at the
Home On The Ridge for the Wisconsin/LSU game next September. After a summer
of renting out the house and our first Packer game, we are comfortable in
booking the house for next years game. We have decided to price the weekend
at 3,600.00 for up to three nights. We charge no sales tax, or add any
extra fees for cleaning or make you buy insurance. Anyone who is interested
please email me back some information about the size of the group (up to
14) age range, where you are coming from, and why we should rent to you. My
mom will be choosing. Also, if the interest is quite high for people to
rent a house out, even if not next to Lambeau I will probably rent my own
three bedroom house out for the weekend. I rented it for the Chesney
Concert this summer for 1,600.00. I will send pictures to anyone
interested. Thanks for your time.

Is something funny about that price? If the house sleeps 8 that seems about right. That is the going rate.

14 people!? That house may go for $4500-$5k

At $5k that's just $120/night/person

Just did a quick search on Airbnb and you can get houses in Greenbay for $300-$600 a night pretty easily for Sept 3rd 2016 weekend.

Lambeau is basically right in the neighborhood. You step out the front door and you're tailgating on the lawn or across the street at a parking lot. Unless you need to re-up food/booze you're not going anywhere.
