After I picked up the new alternator in Green Bay Chris & I decided to do some exploring around the city. It was too hot outside to work on the engine so we decided to go and tour Lambeau Field, the home of the Green Bay Packers football team.

We had no transportation from the marina so we called a cab. We waited almost 45 minutes for the cab to arrive & then with our patience exhausted Chris asked a local boater in the marina if he could help us out. “Dave” was happy to drive us all the way out to the stadium. We offered him money for gas but he refused–asking that we simply pass on the word that people in Green Bay are friendly & welcoming to visitors–especially Packers fans! We’re very happy to do that! And I hope I will have an opportunity to return the favor to Dave some day.

Lambeau Field is an amazing place. It is named after “Curly” Lambeau, the founder of the football team (which was founded in the early 1900’s). Tours are given daily & Chris & I took one of the more detailed tours that goes all the way from the roof right down to the basement. After touring this facility & learning more about the football club & its illustrious history, it’s easy to understand why their fans & supporters are so passionate about the game & their team.

If you are ever in the Green Bay Area I encourage you to go to the stadium & take a tour. We even got to go right down onto field level & walk along the sidelines. I’d love to see a game there sometime.

Go Pack Go!
