My wife and I stuck around after the game this past Friday night.
On Saturday we hit the Appleton mall (Fox River) in the morning. Something for her. Then toured the PHOF in the afternoon. My turn.

I had not been in tot he Hall since they moved it into its new location. VERY NICE.

I got a kick of the memorabilia dedicated to the 2010 season. The have the club cast used by Jenkins. The knee brace that Colledge broke during a game. A thumb cast one of the DB wore. (I forget who.)

Some pink items that were worn to raise funds/awareness for breast cancer. Including Woodson's shoes. My wife said they were very small. I told her he couldn't turn, run, cover if he had feet like mine. 13EE. Just bought new shoes in the mall that morning. I told her the OL and DL will have the big feet. Sure enough Jenkins or one of the linemen had his shoes in another display case that were at least 15's.

The NFC Championship trophy was a part of this collection. A little boy ran up up it and he was all excited.

The Gatorade bucket they dumped on MM was hanging upside down and the photo of the players dumping the contents on him was right next to it.

A couple of proclamations were on display. One by the US Senate. the other by the Great State of ALASKA! Go figure.

My wife, Chicago native, now Packer fan (She had to convert prior to marriage.) noticed all the Packers-Bears scores, Packer victories of course, they had on display in the area where they talked about the team over the years. I told her that I was sure that was not a coincidence. The Instant Replay Game was a part of the lore. Nothing was mentioned about Ditka wanting to put an asterisk in the Bear's media guide. The Packer's version is that Don Majkowski's foot was clearly behind the line, naturally.

I don't remember seeing the giant Lombardi trophy across the street from the stadium I got a chuckle out of that.

The statue of Lambeau pointing over to Lombardi seems to be saying, "I can still kick your butt."

My wife was in charge of photos. She took all the Lombardi Trophies and SB rings. The picture of the ring from this past year was a bit fuzzy so I did not include that one.

Finished up by have a little dessert in Curly's. We watched the fans at the player's gate. None of them stopped to sign autographs.

There were 3 wedding parties there when we left. I asked someone from one of the parties (I think one of the dad's by the look of his color coordinated tux.) if they had the ceremony at the stadium. He laughed and said no. They were just there for pictures. One of the parties come over in a bus. the other in a stretch limo. I forgot to look at it closer but it looked like a stretch Hummer. my wife looked at me and said she loves the Packers but that would never have happened. I told her of course not. the stadium looked a little dumpier back in the early 80's and it would have been a 4 hour drive just to get everyone there. We went to St Louis for our honeymoon instead and took pictures in from of old Busch. I should have mentioned THAT to her.

anyway, I will upload a few pictures in a bit.

It is amazing what $295M renovation did to Lambeau Field in 2003.

I took the stadium and HoF tour a few weeks back wpr and it was quite the experience to see it all. One thing I didn't know was that the Atrium's floor is an exact replica (same angle and all) of the first 40 or 50 yards of the field. Our tour guide had us stand in the end zone and said if we picked the floor up and walked to the field, it would fit perfectly. I thought that was cool.

During the tour, we were taken through the players tunnel and our guide stopped us at the beginning and said, "Imagine you are a rookie for the Super Bowl XLV Champs, getting ready to take the field on September 8th against the Saints." The big door rolled up and they blasted a crowd cheering with the intro (that I assume the fans will hear on September 8th) as we walked onto the field. It was just an unreal experience overall.

For being a "younger" Packers fan, all the HoF stuff from back in the day was very interesting to me. I loved sitting in Vince Lombardi's chair in his replica office. The information in the HoF was great.

We also walked the Magnificent Mile which had a lot of cool information on each statue.

I'll throw some pics up in my album.

Hijack away.

Edit- I didn't want to sit in HIS chair even thought it is there for that purpose. I just walked up and put my hand on the back of the chair/corner of the desk and thought for a minute about his job.

Yep, this has been observed and noted several times, 😞 it sucks, but the new version has it fixed.

In the mean time, open the picture in a new tab and it'll be gooder.
