My birthday isn't until tomorrow (9/16) but my mom couldn't keep it a secret.

She got me tickets to the Packers vs. Redskins game week 5 AT Washington.

The seats are at the 50 yard line, 8 rows up right behind the Packers bench.

I'm pretty pumped.

Anyone have any tips or anything?

Live it, breath it, love it.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

congrats. have a great time. Take a few photos. If you get there early your should be able to get fairly close to get a few of the players pix.

Binoculars are nice to have when the game is down at the other end of the field. they are ok to check out the line and blocking and for a run but you have to pull them down to see a pass play.

Get there early to park in the neighborhoods so you avoid the $20 or whatever it is for parking.

Common sense, but you want to enjoy the game, not stand in line to whiz, so don't drink much.

DO NOT LEAVE THE GAME EARLY! Fortunately most packer fans don't, but we need to take pride in not leaving until the final whistle, whether they're up or down by 50. I've always done my part and stayed to the bitter end even during the vick/falcons playoff loss (ugh, still painful memories)

Thats awesome! I was just talking to my brother (aka bozz_2006) this morning and realized that I have been to 6 packers games, 4 at lambeau (as well as a redskin-broncos game and a bears-vikings game, but those don't matter because a team isn't professional unless they play the packers, or are the packers). If there are a few things that definitely stick out in my mind, it is to get there a few hours early just to take it all in (you won't be let down) and to not spend too much time trying to take good pictures during the game, because you WILL end up missing things. Enjoy it, have the time of your life, shouldn't be difficult!!

I forgot to mention it, but I have a parking pass, as well. And I'm only 16, so I can't drink yet, haha.

Thanks to all for the advice.

You can still drink too much soda pop and have to whiz 🙂

And don't sweat jerks if there are any near by you. Wear your colors with pride, but give them your wallet if they ask for it 😛

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : pass plays

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Seems some of their passes are too deep. Reminds me of MLF as well.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Oren Burks with a clutch pass break up...I will now light myself on fire

Mucky Tundra (12h) : a run on 2nd down and 17 from McVay? So that's where MLF gets it from!

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Do or die time for the Rams

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Kicking field goals are impressive

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Oh that might be a backbreaker

Mucky Tundra (12h) : That's what I thought too, just wasn't sure

TheKanataThrilla (12h) : Kicking doesn't make much sense

Mucky Tundra (12h) : If the Rams score a TD on the upcoming drive, they go for 2, right?

Martha Careful (15h) : does anyone have a thread to a broadcast? I do not have Peacock.
