We pick up our friends Jenny and Todd Bartz and head for Green Bay. When we find a parking spot, we start getting the must needed gear on. We had snow pants, boots, coats, scarves, hand warmers..you name it..we had it. As we near the stadium, I turn the camera on so I can get a picture of the stadium from the outside.
For some reason it isn't working. I think to myself..well...maybe it is because it is so darn cold..then it occurs to me...I FORGOT THE BATTERY! (I plugged it in that morning to make sure I had enough power for the whole game) For those of you that know me...I hate not having my camera along. I start to go into panic mode. I am scanning the nearest businesses for a batteries plus..but see nothing. I am sure my experience is going to be doomed because I cannot chronicle this day.
So after we get inside, we go to our seats. We had four tickets, but they were two sets of two. Jenny and I head to section 122 on the 40 yard line. As we come out into the view of the stadium I am in awe. It was really cool to see the inside of Lambeau in person. (I am slowly getting over my camera dilemma). Jenny and I make it to our seats, which were really great seats by the way. We are the last ones to be seated and when we try to squeeze into our seats, it is SO crowded. I literally couldn't move my arms. Well we had the giggles after that. We both had food and there was no way to eat it because we couldn't move our arms..but I didn't care. The atmosphere was incredible.
It ended up just before kick off that Rick found two people to switch with us so we could sit with the guys. The seats weren't as nice, but we still had fun. (I felt bad for the people that traded with us because it was so tight back on the 40 yard line, and these two guys were twice the size of Jenny and I - I kept waiting for them to come back and demand their seats back - LOL).
Anyway, the fans are awesome at Lambeau, although not very forgiving when the Packers make a mistake or to the other team. Although when the Pack is doing good, the excitement level is huge and the noise is awesome. I had such a good time dancing to the music and high fiving people I didn't even know. What a great experience, much better than watching it on T.V. During half time I finally gave in and went and bought a disposable camera. The pics didn't turn out too bad. Best part of the experience...it started snowing in the fourth quarter. Nothing better than being at Lambeau in the snow.

My two new friends. Although I didn't catch their names, they were fun dancers.
After the game. We were soaking wet from the snow.
