Lambeau Field is Overrated

Ive been to several games at Lambeau throughout the years.

My last was 5 years ago. I witnessed a guy get ejected from the game, for.....standing. I'm not kidding. One of Green Bay's finest ejected 2 guys because they refused to sit. If you attend an NFL game, and you whine to the ushers that the guy in front of you is standing, please kill yourself.Seriously. Do every one a favor.

I've been to several NFL stadiums. Every single one of them has the "Hey douchebag in front, sit down I can't see", guy. Not sure when this all started, but it ended for me 5 years ago. Last game I attended and will never attend another NFL game. Ever.

I doubt they were ejected after the first complaint and the complaint was probably not lodged until after they were asked to sit down. If you are going to go to the game and stand the entire time and block the game from the fans behind you please kill yourself. Seriously. Do everyone a favor.

I'm sure there are other fans who are glad you won't be going to any more games but I'm sure the Packers will be devastated to learn you won't be attending any more.

My "bucket list" includes attending a Packers game at Lambeau Field. I do not realistically believe that I will ever experience the thrill. Virginia is a long haul from Green Bay and I'm retired on a fixed income.

When I read someone complain that they have attended 1 or more games at Lambeau , then have the temerity to bitch because of their poor social skills, it truly saddens my heart.
As a guest at the home of a neighbor should be on their best behavior, so should be the their behavior at a sporting event, concert, museum, or church/temple. Even here in this forum good behavior is expected. IMO, bad social behavior lessens the experience of those also attending the same activity.

I've personally seen bad behavior at public events and it usually ends with an ejection and hearing those in the general area say things like."I'm glad they kicked that asshole out". No one wants to pay for a ticket to an event and then have it mared by a display from a selfish unmanored jackass.

I have been to close to 50 games. Lambeau and old County Stadium. Very few fans have been ejected from the game anywhere near my area. Fans generally know how to behave. There is no point to standing for the whole game unless it's the Army-Navy game. If it's 2nd and 8 from the 40 what's the point? If it is first and goal from the 2 yeah stand up. Standing blocks the view of 4-5 people. Why have so little consideration for others? The guy behind you may be taking his son or daughter to their first game. It's hard enough for kids to follow the action why make it more difficult?

I had the girls with during the last game I was at and they are vertically challenged so watching the field was difficult as it was. So, when the drunk guys in front of us were standing, they couldn't see a damn thing. I didn't have to say anything because these guys were cool, they kept looking back and moving to the side to make sure the girls could see the field.

Standing up the entire time for no reason and blocking others view is inconsiderate and selfish. Guess it's just how I was raised, to be respectful of others.

The old style pointy end kind used before pop tops. Now I'm mad. I told him he better have a very good plan for that can opener or I better not see it again and fortunately I didn't see it again.

It's simple. SIT DOWN when everyone else is sitting and stand when everyone stands. I don't pay all the money it costs for these weekends to see the ass end of the guy in front of me and shouldn't be forced to make it miserable for the people behind me just to see the darn game.

I highly doubt he was ejected simply for standing. It more than likely was just one piece of the total puzzle. More than like was a drunk dillweed also.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

beast (2h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (10h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (15h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (17h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
