I loved it. It felt sacred to me, which is something I haven't experienced at a stadium. Stadium's usually feel like gigantic party venues, but this one felt almost like a church. It was still a party, but it was classy and clean and full of great history. Hallowed ground. Which is why it sucks so bad that our team performed so poorly.


My sentiments exactly. Enjoyed everything about it. I was also impressed with the parking around the stadium. The couple who owned the home where we parked did everything they could to accommodate us and give us our money's worth, including the use of their bathroom and providing water. I felt welcomed the entire time.

But blown away no it's just a stadium.


uh, no. Lambeau isn't just a stadium. Or Fenway. Or the old Yankee Stadium. Or our own Tiger Stadium.

Great history has been made at both those places, so they're not merely bleachers surrounding a patch of grass. So much more than that.

hate to be picky, but the signage inside the gates left a lot to be desired. Difficult to find gates/ramps/ and sections.

But it was indeed awesome to have attended a game there.

I've been to old Yankee and Fenway and wrigley, LSU and FSU. They all felt sacred and amazing. I guess the difference Is I watched the teams that made it that way. I wanna go back and watch GB for sure

Wisconsin was awesome. Everything was neat and orderly and people were very friendly. The Lambeau tour was terrific and the charter fishing trip on Lake Michigan was great even though we only caught a couple. Great experience minus the outcome of game!!

Green Bay was awesome. Wonderful venue and people there. We met some Wisconsin students we drank with who were all nice.

The rest of every run in I had with Wisconsin fans were awful.

In their section in the stands. Guy behind us was an absolute douche. Him and my buddies argued. It settled down later and I offered him some cheese curds as a peace offering mid game. On our way out he told me "frick you and your dick friends". I asked him if that was necessary and another Wisconsin fan stepped in and apologize for that dude. He continued to tell me to frick off and I wasnt even involved in the original conversation.

2 days later the cashier at Jimmy johns asked us if we wanted more napkins to wipe our tears away with.

Same day a Wisconsin fan was giving us shite again at the gas, unprovoked just like the others. I asked when he graduated from there and he said he never went.

We also ran into probably a dozen Alabama fans while at the game.

A lot of you probably had better experiences and might disagree. But over half of the Wisconsin fans we interacted with were absolute dicks. Most of which was during or after the game.

Didn't get this at all. We stayed about 45 mins out of GB, and the majority of the people we overwhelmingly nice. Only had some young fans say something after the game, while other fans continually thanked us and were almost ashamed they won. In Chicago, they had no idea why we were there but were gracious still. This was one of the best road trips I've been on.

It seems most everyone was actually Packer Fans so it wasn't a big deal. If we were Saints fans playing the Packers it might have been different.

I have been to Wisconsin before and the cleanliness and order really stood out. I didn't feel they were overtly friendly before as they were this time.

Door County was great, Lambeau was amazing, and Wrigley was great as well.
Beyond the game play it was perfect. Also, hard to beat the weather.
