Hey fellas, first time starting a thread. My boy (9 yo) and I are traveling to GB for his first Packers game (hosting OAK on 10-20) and my first since 2003! I just wanted to share my plan and see if any of you knowledgable folks have any suggestions for addition/deletion/change in the itinerary.

1. Saturday: Fly into GB Saturday afternoon. Go to Lambeau for the alumni tour of the field (led by Santana Dotson!). Then dinner at Hinterland Brewery.
2. Sunday: Show up early to the game and look for some kid-appropriate tailgating…? Packers stomp Raiders 30-10. Hang around the atrium and Packers Pro Shop and blow some money. Dinner at Tavern in the Sky
3. Monday: Titletown in the morning. Lunch somewhere…? Packers Hall of Fame tour. Dinner at 1919.
4. Tuesday: fly out

That’s all of I’ve got right now. What am I missing? Any comments on the restaurant plans? What about tailgating with a kiddo?—I could use some advice on making that a good time for him. Am I insane thinking we’ll hang around the atrium and go to the Pro Shop after the game? Or is that gonna be OK?

The HOF tour, Titletown, and atrium/pro shop could be mixed up in whatever order. As far as I’m concerned all 3 of those could be mixed and matched, but any advice on when to do those 3 things? Do I have them in the right time periods or swap them around?

Finally, I thought there was maybe going to be a pep rally for the OAK game but can’t find any info on that. Any knowledge here?

I really appreciate any insight you can give. It’s a father-son thing so the pressure’s on to make it perfect. Thanks!

It has been a few years since I have been there myself... but Kroll's is always a quality place to stop.

There is something special about taking kids to sporting events that have the electricity to it... good luck and hoping you both enjoy your time in GB.

I prefer Kroll's East. 🙂 But, that's clear across town.

Awesome 👏
I took my oldest son to his first game when he was about the same age.
He was so excited.
When we walked out into the stadium his first word was “awesome “.
The only time I saw a Raiders game in Green Bay I took my youngest son and a couple of his buddies.
We went to Kroll’s West and that’s where a lot of Raiders fans had congregated in all their costumed glory.
The kids really got a kick out of their antics.

Congrats Kanco! I’m sure you will have a great time!
Are you staying at a hotel close to Lambeau Field?
The guys here (especially Zero) are pros at what to do when you are there.
Reading your post, it seems you already have some pretty good plans.

Thanks, guys! Krolls sounds great. The boy was interested in cheese curds and I understand that's a good option. Here's something of interest: My wife and daughter are going to Hawaii that weekend, but my boy chose a Packers game over the sun and sand--he wanted football with his old man instead. Man, that brought a tear to my eye--so proud of his wisdom.

And yes, we're staying near the stadium. Holiday Inn GB Stadium. Trying to make it convenient.

Any opinions on shuffling around HOF/Atrium/Titletown, or on tailgating with a youngster at Lambeau?

Be SURE to take plenty of pictures!
If using your cell phone for pictures, be sure to pack your charging cable!
It’s a little thing that’s easy to forget.

Last time I was there...5.5 years ago the proshop was not outrageously busy before the game. Just felt like your typical crowdedness of any other store at any other time. I do believe they have moved/renovated the proshop since then (I could be wrong) so things might have changed now. Tailgating with the kiddo should be fine if you find the crowd that isn't overly drunk. Tailgaters in GB are incredibly generous and every group you walk by will probably offer you and your son something. If you tell them the story of him choosing GB over Hawaii every group will just love him anyway.

sounds awesome !!

It was started a few years ago and some things are out of date but perhaps you can get a few ideas.

Your plan sounds pretty good to me. I go to a game or two every year. I typically get in and get out without looking around too much. The Hall of Fame is new and improved. (So is the price or at least that is what I have been told.) Get your pictures taken in front of the Lombardi Trophies. Plenty of people will take it for you. They had a mock Lambeau Leap for the kids to see what that is like in the old Hall. I don't know if they kept it or not but if so make sure your son gives it a try. The wall was 6' tall if I recall.

Tailgaters will accommodate you. Krolls had a beads booth. A string of green or gold beads for a buck. Other trinkets like cheeseheads. I got one for my son when he was around that age. There are more of those kind of booths south of the stadium down Armed Forces Dr.

The south ramp to the upper deck has a few spots when you can stop and take a few pictures. You can get the practice field and indoor facility in a picture. Lombardi and Lambeau statues are located on the east side near Lombardi Ave. If you get there real early you can stand along the fence where the players park. He may get to talk to some of the guys before or after the game. Most of them won't pay too much attention to you but kids and good looking girls get noticed.

Mainly have a great time. Take your tickets and a few pictures and put them in a shadow box.
