My point wasn't that the tickets get willed, my point is that many of those 'fans' that get the willed seats end up StubHubing/TicketMastering/CraigsListing them. Thus exposing the 'mystery' behind Green Bay's fabled 'great fanbase'.

Foster said the fan base was such a great fan base because of the length of the time it would reportedly take to become a new season ticket holder. I just explained why that was. Thus, pointing out that the fan base isn't all that great.

At any time I can get tickets to a game in Lamblow, just like at any time you can get tickets to the Dump.

You have nothing to debate here. You guys signed Donovan McNabb, congrats, then cut him because he is what most thought he was ... done. For your teams sake, hopefully they get a good QB coach who can help Christian Ponder be something more than the last drafted Vikings QB's.

The waiting list estimate for actually getting season tickets for the Packers is reportedly approaching a thousand years.

Stop pounding your chest about how great you guys are as a fan base and I'll let it go. At least when you brag about the Lombardi's, it's a legitimate topic.

As for pounding chest, I'm not. I just stated the facts. Packers fans fill up a damn Family Night game, Pre-Season games and stay to the end, regardless of the score. Vikings fan bail as soon as they feel the game is over, regardless of how much clock is left. Sorry, that's a piss poor fan base. But I suppose you're gonna say that's because there's more to do in Minnesota than Wisconsin, cuz all Wisconsin has is Applebee's.

To be clear, I'm not saying I'm better than you because I root for the Packers and you root for the Vikings. I'm sure there are a lot of great Vikings fans out there who stay to the end. It's just the Packers have visibly a lot more.

It's like the Niners vs Raiders here. When the Niners had Joe & Steve, they'd pack the house and everyone and their Grandma proudly boasted their Niners jerseys. Nowadays, you'd think that there's only one Bay Area team - the Raiders. And the Niners are good this year, but so many fair weather fans have left that they're probably unaware that the Niners will make the Playoffs.

Now the Raiders on the other hand, they can be 3-13 or 13-3. Either way, you'll see Raider jerseys everywhere you look. The place will be packed and the fans will be loud.

Those are real fans. Niner fans? No. Of course, not denying the existence of real Niner fans. I'm just sayin' they're a minority.

My next door neighbor converted this weekend.

It takes some time, but I have a high percentage rate, lol

He's about 50, lifetime Eagles fan, season-ticket-holder until last year...

Packer fan now.

He hated the Vick signing, so he was already vulnerable to my (subtle-but constant) pitch.

NEXT!

I'm enjoying the Formo beatdown by the way boys. I really don't need to add anything.
