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.

Our favorite tailgating site is not going to be available anymore.
We have always had a great time behind the Mobil gas station that will be torn down.  P1060931.JPG You have insufficient rights to see the content.

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