The former Hardee's restaurant has been torn down and Green Bay Packers contractors are removing the underground gasoline storage tanks at the old Citgo station. Kmart will soon follow.

The Packers are removing empty buildings on property they acquired west of Lambeau Field, along Lombardi Avenue and South Ridge Road. Team spokesman Aaron Popkey said earlier this week they wanted to raze the buildings before winter to save on maintenance, fire protection and security.

The team plans to develop land west of Lambeau Field to provide it with non-football sources of income, similar to New England's Patriot Place adjacent to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. Patriot Place includes restaurants, retail shops, a movie theater, a hotel and a Bass Pro Shop.

Popkey said the Packers are working on several concepts for development.

The Packers recently acquired the Mobil gas station at 1031 Lombardi Ave. Paperwork on the purchase of the nearby Citgo station at 1922 S. Ridge Road has not been filed with the county.

Seems like a huge hotel would be a good idea...not only so people won't have to stay in Oshkosh overnight for games, but to potentially bring a Super Bowl here as a home game.

Honestly I don't see a Super Bowl game coming to GB even with an awesome hotel. The NFL removed the temperature rule for New York for a year, but that's their home area with lots of stuff around. NFL would also have to minimum number of 5 star hotels with swimming pools in the "local area" among a number of others big city stuff.

They could build 5 hotels and the SB would never come to GB. Unless the NFL switches to a rotating schedule so every city gets a chance to host (which they will never do) it just isn't going to happen.

I can't speak about the Patriots set up but St Louis has the retail shops and restaurants next door. Their hall of fame as well. It is plenty busy all the time.

With jacked up prices and a 2 nite stay required people will still stay in Oshkosh. It is only a 45 min drive.

What about the Road Star Inn? Is that gone too?
I stayed there a few times, and it was nice. Not fancy, but nice.

dfosterf (20h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (23h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (23h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (23h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (23h) : Against tbd
dfosterf (23h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (23h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (23h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (23h) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (23h) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (23h) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (23h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
