Louisiana Cheesehead

All roads lead to Lambeau on Saturday. The direction you are headed will be backed up. Especially from the south heading into town.

The last couple of weeks have definetly changed things. I looked at hotels get up to $563 per night at Comfort Inn on Saturday of flood. Looked on Tuesday after and they dropped to mid $200's. I think it will definetly be few less than it would have been. For those that do make it, we are looking to having a good time and great number of good drinks, smiles and good times. For those of you that were going and can't, we will think of you, toast you and know you will be here in spirit. It's gonna be fun, but it wont be the same as it would have been.

High five to all you purple and gold. Geaux Tigers!

For me, Geaux Badgers!

Tigers would be more conditioned having endured a summer in this insufferable South Louisiana heat. A less humid, cool environment would only intensify that advantage

This wont matter so don't worry about it. Temp is not an issue on Labor Day weekend. Usually. Very Rarely is it cold like that. But it would not be an advantage to LSU it would be like when WI played Miami in 2009 Champ Sports Bowl.

Hopefully it's 99 and humid. Btw frick a 2:30 game. But I guess that is essentially prime time for big 10 at least it's not 11 am. Don't know how drunk you can get that early anyway

Meet you half way on the temp. Grew up in a bar. I was always amazed how much beer was drank on the early games. Personaly, I could only do that once or twice a year. I think if you eat brats with sour kraut on them you can go all day.

This game will be close. I say a field goal will determine the winner. 24-23 WI. In the blood and the mud and the beer.

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.

Got my tickets 9 tickets from WI today! Figured they would be all fancy with WI and LSU. Plain with a Packer G.

It's good to be the King

Was asked about parking etc. I came across this for those staying in GB. Free city buses to Lambeau. From the GB metro link select Game Day Routes. Downloadable pdf's of WI-LSU Game day routes (pick & drop off locations) & Game Day route brochure (map)

GB Metro

GB newspaper story about free buses

My thoughts exactly, putitng the Boundary Waters in on this is huge. Jealous.

Word on the street is the OL might be the best in years. Cant wait to see how they do.

If you are making a trip out the game in GB and want to see some things in WI, check out Wisconsin Dells.

Its definetly worth seeing for an afternoon or a few days. Tons of things to do. It's the "Waterpark Capitol of the World" Things to do in all price ranges. Several links below.

If you are passing by it i would at least drive down the main drag.
