Hello from Connecticut! Jets fan coming in peace ✌️
My buddy who's a die-hard Packers fan, our other friend (a Panthers fan), and I (sad.....very sad but somewhat optimistic Jets fan) are finally making the leap to Lambeau. We’ve been talking/dreaming about this trip since high school, and now that we're in our 30s, we finally made it happen. We have tickets for the TNF game on 10/29 against the Panthers.
We’re staying at an Airbnb about 10-15 minutes away and will likely be Ubering to the stadium. We also booked the stadium tour for Friday. I wanted to ask the locals for some advice to make sure we do this right. Our main question is about the tailgate situation:
We are really looking for a good tailgate with enough food and beer to fill us up before game time. We aren't rowdy but we love the football tailgate atmosphere and will chant and cheer until our voices give out. Since we won't have a car to host our own should we wander the lots or hit up established tailgates? If you guys have any recommendations, please reply or even DM me.
My other questions:
In regards to timing, for a Thursday night game, what time should we aim to get to the stadium to get the full tailgating experience without feeling rushed?
For the stadium, we got tickets in section 116. We know it’ll be pretty cold so hand and feet warmers are already on our list. We were also thinking about bringing butt cushions for the bleachers but are there specific rules for bringing those in? Anything else we are forgetting?
Any other advice for first-timers would be hugely appreciated. I always liked your fanbase and can't wait to be there in my mask and cheese head to celebrate the holidays.
Go Pack Go!
