Depends.
It gets to be a zoo with all the people wanting autographs. The players can't accommodate everyone and then the parents start yelling nasty things if their kid doesn't get an autograph.
The kids on bikes, many of them are hardened veterans and know how to get the attention of players. It shuts outs the ones that are more shy and turns it into a bad experience for many of the kids.
They have the Tundra Tailgating Village now, a raunchy take-your-money-because-they-can venue, other vendors selling crap, people handing out advertisements and shilling for whatever, it's all really becoming commercial and far from the charm that it used to be. Am I turning into another old fogey who pines for the way things used to be? Perhaps. But when the guy who paints "The Fence" on Lombardi Avenue dresses up in a costume and is trying to make a buck from being "That Guy," I mean, come on already. And he's not the only one.
If you're a player, do you want to give autographs to people who want to meet you for a brief moment or because having your autograph only gives them something that is worth money?
But there are precious moments. There was one little girl there with her bike and the bigger kids were getting the players. The crowd started yelling at players to "Take the little one!" Finally a player did and everyone cheered. Those are the things you live for.
You see things like that less and less now.
I'm planning on doing photography Aug. 1 and 2, maybe I will come away with a fresh perspective. Or... maybe I'm going to start a new movement: "Put the Charm Back in Green Bay."
