Packers vs. Patriots

It’s time to post our gallery from Sunday’s Packers-Patriots game at Lambeau Field. Before we head inside, here is an example of just a few of the Packer-themed party vehicles one might encounter on game day.

Entering Lambeau a couple of hours before the game.

As you probably know by now, we like to go down behind the Packers’ bench area and see what’s going on.

A couple of views (above and below) of the sideline area as things are being set up for the game.


K Mason Crosby and P Tim Masthay are always out early to warm up and judge the wind, etc.

New England QB Tom Brady comes out for pre-game warm-ups.

The Packers come out for their pre-game warm-ups.

WR Jordy Nelson.

Another reason we like to go down behind the Packers’ bench area is to be close to QB Aaron Rodgers as he makes some warm-up throws.


WR Randall Cobb was Rodgers’ “ball catcher” so that the QB wouldn’t jam a finger or something while playing catch with Nelson.

Rodgers greets an official before the game.

Nelson and QB Matt Flynn were on the other end of the Cobb-Rodgers throws.

Apparently, some folks don‘t know when they should be loud at a game.
