Anyone have trips planned for the upcoming season? We have a group heading to Lambeau Field for the Saints-Packers game. We're going to stay in Chicago and thankfully the Cubs are in town that weekend, so we're also going to hit up Wrigley. The game is in September so we don't have to worry about freezing weather. Other than that, I'm going to make the easy drive to Houston for the Saints-Texans game and stay with a friend there. That game is mid October, so there's a chance the Astros could still be alive in the playoffs, so it would be cool to hit up Minute Maid for that if the dates work out. We might also do Tampa on 12/31, but that's dependent on how meaningful that game is since it's the 2nd to last game of the season.
If anyone can share advice on transportation from Chicago to Green Bay the morning of the game, and back to Chicago afterward, it would be much appreciated. Renting a car seems like the obvious answer, but we would prefer a shuttle or party bus.

A little research shows that is about a 5.5 hour drive. Probably add 1 hour on Game day and then parking and the drive back.
There is a listing for Amtrak which they say has 4 runs per day.

It’s only around a 3.5 hour drive, not 5.5. We were thinking get on the road around 6am, get there at 10’ish.

I’m going to Indy at the end of October. Underrated downtown good for a weekend. Going to eat my fill of steak and shrimp cocktail at St. Elmo Steakhouse, one of the best in America.

I've been to Atlanta a few times and twice to Tampa.
Looking to hit up Charlotte just to complete the division sweep.
The last time I went through the Charlotte airport, I was surprised by the amount of activity there.

I would sort of prefer it be colder and closer to winter time.
We went back in October 2017. It rained. I would have preferred it be colder and potentially snowy to experience Lambeau in the colder elements.

We are for sure going to Indy. We have reservations at St.Elmo Steakhouse the night before the game 
Will probably do a few more trips last minute depending on how the season plays out

Going to Carolina for the 1st time this year.

Going to Indy as well. Flying to South Bend the Friday. Notre Dame game Saturday, then driving down to Indy. Hoping the Pacers have a home game the Monday night.

Just booked my Airbnb in Minny. Should be a blast. Will need to find some Tiger fans that Saturday night as well.

Only one for me currently is Tampa on New Year's Eve. Live in Orlando so it's an easy 1 1/2 hour drive to and from.
Ironically I haven't been to a game against the Bucs in Tampa since the 2018 season. Didn't go in 2019 and then didn't have a desire to deal with the bandwagon Brady fans from 2020-2022. Plus ticket prices were crazy. Really glad I didn't go last year.
Now with Brady gone the Bucs go back to what they were before. By that point in the season I fully expect there to be 25,000-30,000 Bucs fans there at most so ticket prices will be nice and affordable.
Considering going to the Panthers game now that I have a friend who lives in Charlotte. Hate that it's on a Monday night but I might make it. If not I will definitely get up there in a future year. Check off going to every stadium in the division.
