Cowboys at Packers — Part I
Time to get some stuff up on the blog that has been sitting around while we’ve been generally busy and traveling. This is the first of two posts from the Packers vs. Cowboys weekend (October 15th and 16th). Above, we see some of the products we came across with Packers connections at the grocery store a couple of blocks west of Lambeau Field.
The Packers Alumni that were back in town for the game on Sunday.
The Lambeau Field Atrium is always buzzing on the Saturday afternoon of a home game weekend, with stadium tours, the Packers Pro Shop, and the Packers Hall of Fame being the main focal points.
The 1919 Kitchen and Tap is also busy throughout the weekend.
Just across Ridge Road to the west, the Titletown development continues, with progress bing made on the Lodge Kohler hotel.
Looking back towards Lambeau Field shows the proximity of the hotel to the stadium.
The Hinterland Brewery is also coming along. We assume they are striving towards getting them enclosed before the Wisconsin winter hits.
Walking to Lambeau Field early on Sunday afternoon for the 3:25 p.m. game.
A beautiful Autumn Sunday afternoon in Wisconsin.

Not sure what this personnel chart is for on the Packers’ sideline.
