So here's the thing me and some friends are planning to come down to Green Bay to catch a Packers game.

We're still debating if we should come vs the Niners or Vikings in the Month of November. Here's the thing my friends a Niners fan but I'm convincing him to go against the Vikings.

Anyways, we've got a drive of about 18 hours. We're planning on leaving on a Thursday about 6:00 p.m. So if we drive it off non stop, two drivers taking a break driving every 3-4 hours we should be in Green Bay by morning of Friday 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

So we'd have about half the day of Friday and Saturday to look around and enjoy our stay.

So I was wondering if you guys have any good hotels - motels, places we could sleep for 2 nights (Friday - Saturday), also if you guys have an estimate how much they would charge for the night.

I also wanted to know where should we check out once there, places that is a MUST go for tourists. We'd like to make it the most in our 3 day stay.

Oh ya I forgot to ask lol, hows the weather in November down there is it mediocre or very bad, not that we're worried just so we could be prepared.

It's going to be our first NFL experience and our first trip to GB, so we're really new at this we could use any tips. How does it work / best place to park / best place to purchase tickets / nice restaurants ... any advice or opinions would be great guys.

* I know I could check the internet and stuff but the internet just tells me what they want the internet to tell me. So I'm better off asking you guys, you guys know the in and outs of GB.

:thumbright: We're looking forward to this.
Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

Here is a suggestion.

Forget about trying to get a Hotel/Motel... drive to Milwaukee. Arrive on Friday. Then rent a camper/RV for the weekend. Then drive up to Green Bay in the camper/RV.

You seem like a youngin heading with some buddies. You will have more fun in the camper/RV than in a Motel Room, which you will probably never get any way. Plus you can Tail Gate in it on Sunday Morning.

On this forum, we get at least three threads like this a year, and some of the locals here are going to give you great info.

Spend Friday Night in Milwaukee... Go To Brady Street, roll some dice for drinks, and have a blast. Then drive up to Green Bay early Saturday.

ONE THING YOU WANT TO CHECK OUT IS AARON RODGERS STEAK HOUSE.

It is located on Brett Favre Lane about three blocks from the Frozen Tundra.

November weather can be iffy. It can be quite nice, or brutal. You never know. As far as tickets go, there will be a HUGE premium on Vikings one if BF is playing for them, so you'd probably need about twice as much money for those tickets.
As far as motels, if you don't do what RP says, you will probably have to stay at one 30 minutes or so away from Lambeau Field. The rooms close to the stadium get snatched up pretty quickly.
