Packers vs. Falcons

On the drive up to Green Bay on Monday for the Packers-Falcons game, the snow started between Sheboygan and Manitowoc, Wisconsin. It was a wet, heavy snow since the temperature was around 35 degrees. 

That’s the glow of Lambeau Field off in the distance, as seen from our parking spot a few blocks to the West of the stadium.

Thank you, kindly. Always good to be in Lambeau.

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.

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.
