My birthday isn't until tomorrow (9/16) but my mom couldn't keep it a secret.

She got me tickets to the Packers vs. Redskins game week 5 AT Washington.

The seats are at the 50 yard line, 8 rows up right behind the Packers bench.

I'm pretty pumped.

Anyone have any tips or anything?

Live it, breath it, love it.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

congrats. have a great time. Take a few photos. If you get there early your should be able to get fairly close to get a few of the players pix.

Binoculars are nice to have when the game is down at the other end of the field. they are ok to check out the line and blocking and for a run but you have to pull them down to see a pass play.

Get there early to park in the neighborhoods so you avoid the $20 or whatever it is for parking.

Common sense, but you want to enjoy the game, not stand in line to whiz, so don't drink much.

DO NOT LEAVE THE GAME EARLY! Fortunately most packer fans don't, but we need to take pride in not leaving until the final whistle, whether they're up or down by 50. I've always done my part and stayed to the bitter end even during the vick/falcons playoff loss (ugh, still painful memories)

Thats awesome! I was just talking to my brother (aka bozz_2006) this morning and realized that I have been to 6 packers games, 4 at lambeau (as well as a redskin-broncos game and a bears-vikings game, but those don't matter because a team isn't professional unless they play the packers, or are the packers). If there are a few things that definitely stick out in my mind, it is to get there a few hours early just to take it all in (you won't be let down) and to not spend too much time trying to take good pictures during the game, because you WILL end up missing things. Enjoy it, have the time of your life, shouldn't be difficult!!

I forgot to mention it, but I have a parking pass, as well. And I'm only 16, so I can't drink yet, haha.

Thanks to all for the advice.

You can still drink too much soda pop and have to whiz 🙂

And don't sweat jerks if there are any near by you. Wear your colors with pride, but give them your wallet if they ask for it 😛

packerfanoutwest (7h) : he won't be wearing #12, maybe he will wear number two

packerfanoutwest (7h) : He will fail this season, should have retired

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Thus the cycle of Hall of Fame Packer QBs going to the Jets and then the Vikings is broken

bboystyle (12h) : Rodgers to steelers on 1 year contract

Zero2Cool (20h) : It's the cycle of civilizations. Get lazier, lazier, softer, softer and vanish.

Martha Careful (21h) : great point. every aspect of society, including art, culture and sports has degraded.

dfosterf (4-Jun) : Green Bay sweep meant something to society about stopping pure excellence. We have the tush push now

dfosterf (4-Jun) : We old Martha.

Martha Careful (4-Jun) : *front four

Martha Careful (4-Jun) : Re frout four, I wish we had some Green "People Eaters" or a fearsome foursome

dfosterf (4-Jun) : *directions*

dfosterf (4-Jun) : Just don't ask him for driving direct

dfosterf (4-Jun) : Jim Marshall was an all-time great DE for the Purple People Eaters. Didn't like him. That's a compliment. RIP

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : ooppppss

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : “Kenny Clark played all of last season hurt by the way and got surgery to fix it in January”

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood How much did the injury affect him last fall? “A lot.”

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood Kenny Clark said he had foot surgery in January. Injured his foot in opener against Eagles and played through it all year.

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : Golden is wearing guardian cap again. I bet he plays with it on too.

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : All the stuff I'm reading from Lions fans are pointing at his toe; he more or less has permanent turf toe in one of his big toes

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Kenny played through it, and a shame he gets little credit for that, imo

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Big men. I hope it's not the undoing of Kenny Clark

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Probably his toe. Pretty much a great center. Toe injuries are brutal to bigen

Mucky Tundra (2-Jun) : Lions All-Pro C Frank Ragnow retires

wpr (30-May) : It's all good.

beast (30-May) : Yeah, and I enjoyed your comments and just attempted to add to it. Sorry if I did it incorrectly.

wpr (30-May) : Beast I never said Henderson was the salt of the earth. Nor even that he was correct. Just quoting the guy.

Zero2Cool (29-May) : What did you do??

Zero2Cool (29-May) : Whoa

beast (29-May) : OMG the website is now all white, even some white on white text

beast (29-May) : Henderson, who admits to taking cocaine during the Super Bowl against the Steelers, might dislike Bradshaw as he lost two Superbowls to him

wpr (28-May) : Hollywood Henderson said Bradshaw “is so dumb, he couldn't spell 'cat' if you spotted him the C and an A.”

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Cooper stock=BUY BUY BUY

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Also notes he’s playing with more confidence.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : @AndyHermanNFL MLF says there was a time last year where Cooper was at 220 pounds. Now he’s at 240 and still flying around.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : And don't even get me started on Frank Caliendos "impersonations"

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I got tired of them being circle jerks with them overlaughing at each others jokes.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : It used to be must watch TV for me. now it's "meh" maybe to hear injury update

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I haven't watched the pregame shows in years and I don't feel like I've missed a thing

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Love says knee affected him all season, groin injury didn't help matters.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : I used to enjoy him on FOX Pregame. Now it's like a frat party of former Patriots.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : LaFleur on Watson: “Christian is doing outstanding. I would say he’s ahead of schedule.”

Martha Careful (28-May) : Bradshaw is a dumb ass cracker. I am so tired of his "aw shucks" diatribe. He should shrivel up and go away.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : He wad all butt hurt because Aaron duped the media saying he was immunized.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : Bradshaw needs to retire. He's been ripping on Rodgers ever since the covid crap. He was all hury

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Terry Bradshaw doesn't want Rodgers in Pittsburgh lol wow

Zero2Cool (27-May) : one day contract, which he also feels is pointless, but if Packers came to him, he would

packerfanoutwest (27-May) : Aaron Rodgers talks possibility of retiring with Packers, just another rumor

dfosterf (27-May) : Go watch 2001

Zero2Cool (26-May) : 1984
