Hey everyone I've got a bit of a conundrum. My roommate got tickets to the Packers-Vikings game for his birthday just this week so he and I are going up to Green Bay Monday night. The problem is we don't have anywhere to stay--all hotels are booked up. We will also be too inebriated to make the drive back to Milwaukee that night, or Appleton for that matter, so it's a necessity to find some place to stay the night.

We are prepared to sleep in my van if need be. I've done it elsewhere before and have no problems doing it again, so if anyone has any good parking suggestions for overnight (preferably close to the stadium) that would be fantastic. Also, if anyone knows of any other lodging options I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

The Brown County Fair grounds-Fort Howard Av-DePere - Phone 920-336-3283- Theyhave area that they rent out for Motorhomes, Trailers , campers etc. I think the cost of 1 night there would be reasonable. It is located 2 miles SE of Lambeau Field- just one block East off S Ashland Ave.

Need any other info, just post on this topic. and I will reply . Hopefully with an answer.

Sorry,But Green Bay Motels have not had any room vacancies for months during the Packer-Viking game weekend.

the drive back to appleton will be done at 10mph tops anyways. A horse could drive your van back for you, you'd have to be insanely drunk not to be able to make that drive. Well, the starting and stopping reactions might be a little hindered i suppose.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I am avoiding driving all the way up and back this trip. I am actually staying in Oshkosh and taking a coach bus from The Bar to/from Lambeau. It's like $25/seat. By the time you get back to Oshkosh you may be good to drive the rest of the way to Milwaukee.

All I can do for you, is to ask the hotel I'm staying in to keep me updated on cancelled reservations from Saturday to Monday. But if I was you, I'd prefer sleeping in the van, anyway [grin1] Gameday rates for rooms are NO FUN.

Park where ever you want. Hell right accross the street just make sure it is city property. You can even Set up a BBQ, a table, tarps.

All you need to do is put up some signs on your van that say: "Occupy Green Bay." and "The Poor Are Slaves."

It will take a court order to move you out. That will take at least a week.

Enjoy!

Tips for Green Bay visitors.
There are various locales where you can shall we say "park" and the police will not roust you. One is on the far north end of Military Ave. You go all the way down to Velp and you keep going. There is an old incinerator out there, you go past that and there will be a parking lot where people walk their dogs. The cops won't mess with you if you park there.
The other is the yacht club. That's on the East side, North of the city. Kind of like by Bay Beach, but way down by the river. This would be more of a drive.
This is going from memory, it's been awhile, so things may have changed. Never actually camped in either of these places overnight. Cops will drive through and check things out, but I've never been rousted in these areas.
Maybe do post on Craigslist for a sleeping room or something. Offer to pitch a tent on someone's lawn for $50.
