Attending a practice:

Tuesday, August 5 12 p.m.
Wednesday, August 6 11:45 a.m.

Whats the general run down of attending a practice.

1. Do I need to buy tickets ahead of time?
2. The practices are here: "Ray Nitschke Field" as listed easy to find?
3. Cost involved and how is the seating.
4. How long do they last and do you think if I brought my baby (5 months old) it would be ok? (Can fuss and cry a bit)
5. Anything else I need to know? - ie I saw something listed about no video recording so only pictures?

Plan on heading back to the states and if it works out will attend one of these practices; although will have my mom/wife/kid with so if its not kid friendly Ill send them away to shop or whatever while I enjoy the practice.

oh - we also plan on heading up to door county any suggestions on where to go look?

thanks

1- it is free to watch practice
2- think of it like this Lambeau Field - Don Hutson Center - Ray Nitschke Field. Easy peazy.
3- get there EARLY so you can choose where you sit, otherwise some pinhead usher will force you to sit in a certain area
4- 2 hours or so ... if the baby is in a car seat baby should be ok
5- I took videos last year, but maybe the no video thing is new this year.

I was born in Sturgeon Bay, WI ... excellent place to cruise around in and several good spots for fishing, so I'm told. It's a beautiful little town to visit.

Z2C and Nerd have provided you with good on the money info.
I would like to add that my favorite place in Door County is Fish Creek.
Lots to do there and a beautiful State Park to visit.
Great places to eat and drink and the sunsets are out of this world.
There is also alot of Packers behind the scenes history to Fish Creek as well.

All of Door County is beautiful and should be enjoyed in it's entirety.

Thanks guys -

I see fish creek is up there near the top; my wife was asking about baileys harbor - hows that comparatively.
I do like the idea of fish creek being near a park; could take a walk in etc ...

As far as going to a practice -

- I assume they have seats there for people to use?
- And Kevin when you said about getting their early do you mean 30-45 mins?

if anyone is in the mood to meet up either for the practice or something to eat afterward let me know; looking at the 5th or 6th of aug (but will confirm).

My wife and I went over to Baileys Harbor to go kayaking.
It was nice like all places on the Door peninsula but it doesn't Grab me like Fish Creek.

We used to go up to Sturgeon Bay most every August when I was a kid and stay in a small cabin on the water for a week or so. We'd go down to Green Bay for a practice or two every time. Loved it up there. But that brings me back to the topic: spot on with your suggestions.

Just wanted to do a shoutout to Phil from the forums ...

He saved us (my wife, myself, my mom and my 4 month year old) some great seats at Wednesdays practice. This is the 1st packers event I have ever attended.

Wasn't exactly ideal thou as you can imagine - turned out to be a blistering hot day and my 4month year old is not made for that kind of weather ... yet.

Really enjoyed seeing the practice thou - Quite interesting how it all pans out.

Id definitely go to another given the opportunity - just don't bring a 4 month year old :)

- oh didn't see much stretching pre practice and it was only the rookies doing it on the field. I would assume that's the warm up.

Some guys took things quite serious and others looked more casual.
Josh boyd stood out to me and the new guy thornton (spelling) ... but boyd had some fire and some nice plays with the 1-1's.
Lots of the guys just got handed to them.

Stoneburner had some spark and some nice plays - one of the rookie RBs ran pretty well - took lots of pics but might have to wait to get them off the camera

oh was also going to add - we spent a day and 1/2 up in door county (not enough time - 2-3 days would of been better) - but really nice up there. Great food/service/ nice people - nice views etc ...

little pricey sure but IMO worth it. Ephriam (spelling) and fish creek is where I would recommend staying.
