Me and my wife will be taking to the road on wed before the game. She was asking if there was any attractions along the way we should stop off and see. Anyone here would like to share some thoughts on places along the way? Thanks in advance! And Geaux Tigers!

I would definitely make sure to check out the Grand Canyon on the way.

stay in chicago thursday night and go to the giants/cubs game on friday. if you're into that.

you'll also be going through memphis or maybe st. louis. could find something to do there if you want.

there, i tried. that's all i've got.

Its a pretty boring drive (especially all of Mississippi & central Illinois) but you can go through Memphis or St Louis depending on what route you take. And of course Chicago will be a stop a few hours before Green Bay.

If you coming from BR up I55, the turn to I57 is at Sikeston MO, that's the home of the original Lamberts.

How long time wise are you making your trip? If you have time go up one way and come down anothr, long boring drive second time around. Seeing something different will help it stay moderately refreshing.

Get yourself Roadside America app for your phone. You can find all the crazy things along your route and project your rooute to plan. Things like the worlds largest ball of string etc. you can check it out first on roadsideamerica.com

Beale Street, St. Louis Arch and Chicago are all musts if you have not seen or been there before.

In Wisconsin if you have time:
Madison - City and Campus - Camp Randall has a Confederate graveyard from the civil war if you are a civil war buff.

Wisconsin Dells - Water park capitol of the world. Giant tourist trap but fun.

House on the Rock - Home turned museum that is pretty cool.

Devils Lake State Park - Between WI Dells and Madison. Nice stop if only for a couple of hours.

Cave of the Mounds

Cubs and or Brewers Games.

Histotic Route 66 I have never taken this portion so not sure what that will be like.

If you have time it is a nice drive along the Mississippi River. From state to state. The western lower half of the Mississippi in WI is a great drive. But that is a time thing and on the other side of the state.
