One of my goals in life is to be able to go up to Green Bay for a Packers game. Being down here in Louisville and currently being a college student in Owensboro, KY makes it difficult to be able to do it now.

With Lambeau being rated #1 two years in a row now in stadium experience in ESPN's ultimate standings, I was wondering what you think makes Lambeau the greatest place in the country to watch a sporting event for those who get to go to the games. The tradition? Snow? I hope to experience it one of these days.

Its a mixture of everything, the tradition, the weather, and of course the fans. I know when i was going to the games other teams fans would be there and we would invite them for a beer and food during tailgating. To me once inside the atmosphere is priceless. Plus playing football the way it should be played in all weather with no damn controlled climate or fake grass makes it great.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

First....WELCOME Cuz!!!

I think alot of it is the fact that Green Bay pretty much LIVES for the Packers. There are no "broadway" shows or things, no other big time sports like MLB or NBA there. It's a small place with a BIG league club. Plus there's no greedy owner, it's locally owned by the community.
I was lucky enough to see BF's last win, the "snow bowl" playoff game against Seattle at Lambeau, and it was a magical feeling being there, the snow flakes bigger then i have ever seen, and NO wind. It was like being in a giant "snow globe". I doubt i will EVER see that kind of game again. At the beginning of the game, it was clear, NO snow. By the 3rd quarter, it was incredible.

Wouldn't a "snow globe" kind of be the opposite of a "snow bowl"? 😉

I have no idea, but it sounds damn great. I think that, if I'll go to the USA, i'll go to Lambeau sometime during the week and watch a game at the Vikings dome. For as far as they're still around there.
