I just got an invite to go into the Enemy Camp this Monday night. (And no, I don't mean West Point like Chris Matthews stated.) I'm going to Lambeau Field for the Green Bay Packer's game and guess what?! I'm going to cheer for them! (OK, maybe not the entire team, just the QB Aaron Rodgers because he's on my fantasy football team!) It's always been a dream to see a game at Lambeau Field and now I get to make it happen. Any suggestions and must sees? How about advice if I should drive all the way home Monday night to Minnesota or stop and sleep at a good place? Looking for any help to make the trip into the enemy camp good!
Craig will be there working! Check to see if Brett's restaurant is still there--2 blocks east of Lambeau. Do NOT eat at Krolls! The ride home is relatively boring, and it's hunting season so the dear are out. I would wait till morning, and I hate mornings!

I lived in Green Bay for a year, back in 94-95 during Favre's up-and-coming years. As a Viking fan, it was hard to put up with the fact that the entire city revolves around the Pack. That said, you should take the Lambeau Field tour if you have time and go through the Packer Hall of Fame as I did when I went back a couple years ago.
I hate to say it but Lambeau is a special place. The Vikings should build their own Hall when they get their new stadium.
Make sure you eat at Sammy's Pizza a few blocks south of Lambeau on Oneida Street!

You will have a blast at Lambeau even if you’re on the enemy’s side!!! I have been at Lambeau and there is nothing that comes close to the feeling that you get when you walk in that stadium. It does help that I'm a Packer fan, but something has to be said about Football out doors. It is an amazing place. Like stated above you should go into the Hall of Fame and take a tour if you can. I would also stay some where along the way home to MN. It is a long drive and after a Monday Night Football Game it will be best to stop for some rest. Anyway say hi to Aaron Rodgers for me and I hope he does well too. GO PACK GO. You will hear that a lot Monday Night!!!!
