JOHN FROM ANNAPOLIS Hey, just finalized my reservations for Green Bay for the game on Sept 15, 2013. Anyone else headed up that way? I figure we should exchange info so we can tailgate on Sunday or at least coordinate a presence on Saturday night somewhere... Game tickets through Redskins Travel... Two Redskins fans from Annapolis...my dad and I are "in!" Due to flight availability, we are flying into Milwaukee and renting a car. Out on Friday, back on Monday. Airtran from Reagan National has a reasonable non-stop. Post info and suggestions for Skins Fans activities... John AnnapolisSkinsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I am also looking into make the trip but i might do ATL instead if the costs get too outrageous. I am already doing Philly, Denver and possibly NYG if we are in the race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am already doing Philly, Denver and possibly NYG if we are in the race Check out AirTran to Milwaukee; some flights in the $100 range each way...The rental car was less than $20 per day, and it's two hours to Green Bay.... hotels are reasonable, but you are competing with the Cheeseheads from across the region for rooms... the way I see it, getting tickets may be the real issue... I don't know if Redskins Travel has any left..got mine the day the schedule was announced... JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I had actually been looking at staying in Milwaukee I Saturday as you can get a better hotel for about $100 cheaper a night then in Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakeboarder020 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I am going with a buddy. Flights are already purchased - flying into Milwaukee on Saturday morning and flying out Monday morning. Also renting a car and driving to Green Bay, but am planning on staying the night in Green Bay Saturday night. We have not bought our tickets yet, which is obviously going to be the most expensive part. How did you go through Redskins Travel? I have never done that before. I was just planning on buying them through StubHub. Yes, we should definitely coordinate a tailgate or something beforehand. Any thoughts on how best to buy tickets would be appreciated.

balki1867 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I went with my college roommate 6 years ago (huge Packer fan) and got to see one of Sean Taylor's last games and one of his last interceptions. I'm still considering going this year even though he can't do it. A couple of notes from my memories: - Also consider flying into O'Hare; You'll drive straight north on 294 from there, so you won't have to deal with Chicago traffic if you land on Friday evening (and it's a ~3 hour drive). If you can find a deal it might be worth it. - You guys are right about hotel rooms, they will be an issue. Also when I went we were lucky enough to get a hotel in town but there was a 2 night minimum. - There is a decent amount to do around the stadium if you get in a day or so early. The renovated part of Lambeau has a bar inside and there are a bunch of bars across the street (including Brett Favre's restaurant). - Packer fans are generally a good crowd. There was lots of good-natured ribbing when we were tailgating but nothing close to any issues. I dealt with one idiot but he was more an idiot in the overserved sense than any sort of 'DEFEND OUR HOUSE' sense - The four middle-aged women tailgating next to us each insisted on giving me a 'sympathy hug' after the game. If you guys have any more questions I can try to remember anything else from my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s0crates Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I envy you guys who are going. Seeing a game at Lambeau is a bucket list thing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

styx491 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'll be going with my friend who is a huge Packers fan! I live in Chicago so if anyone needs anything, let me know and I'll be happy to help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakeboarder020 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Hey everyone - Just bought my tickets and booked my hotel for Green Bay. My friends and I are in section 133, row 5. Right in the corner of the endzone near the tunnel. Staying at the Comfort Inn...about 2 miles from Lambeau. Would love to get some conversations going regarding a tailgate. My friends and I are driving from Milwaukee to Green Bay, but we may just walk to the game that morning so we don't have to worry about driving home after the game. Styx - if you are driving from Chicago, do you think you could bring a grill? My crew is happy to provide meats, charcoal, and beer, but we won't have a grill as we're flying in from DC. Very fired up for this game...HAIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long n Left Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I am making it as it is a bucket list item (Lambeau) that I can check off. Flying in and out of GB, but going in Thursday and taking in a couple nights at the Kholer Resort, and playing Whistling Sraits before heading to GB for Sat and Sun nights. Closest hotel we could get that wasn't completely over priced was in Appleton, about 30-40 mins away. Up for any and all activities Sat night and pregame. Also, as we will be flying, only able to bring what we can buy there. Looking forward to seeing all you Skins fans...and, a great game! Oh yeah. Sec. 131 row 21, right next to the tunnel, I believe. Stub Hub, $220 per ticket. And that was a bargain compared to most of what's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

757SeanTaylor21 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Why is it such requested to go to Green Bay lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeInJc aka M.I.A. Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 It's the holy pilgrimage of football and is on many fans bucket list, just like myself. There's a significant historical factor when talking about Lambeau Field, and if I have the chance to see my Skins there and check it off my list then I'm there!!! Why is it such requested to go to Green Bay lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facet.squared Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 I'm definitely planning on going. I live about an hour north of Green Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PortisBetts Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Me and a buddy of mine are buying tickets at the end of the week and going to book the hotel shortly after. He is a packers fan sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyGunz8 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I thought about it, but my friends and I opted for Denver and Shannatan's return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awd_sr Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I'll be there too, my brother in law and I are making the trip. Flying from BWI to Milwaukee on Southwest, renting a car and driving in. Flying in Saturday morning, coming home on Monday. Too bad I can get to Facebook from work, I'll be checking out the fan page soon though. Definitely looking for a Skins tailgate, if I have to I'll find a Walmart or something and buy a small grill for the weekend, gotta do this the right way!

TD_washingtonredskins Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I'm definitely planning on going. I live about an hour north of Green Bay. Would you recommend spending two nights in Green Bay or just heading in for the game? We have a decision to make...1) hang out in Milwaukee on Saturday and head back there after the game or 2) spend Saturday and Sunday night in Green Bay. Saturday night could just be a college football at a sports bar kind of night anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decimator Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I'll be up there. Parents and family live in Milwaukee. I'd recommend two nights in Milwaukee to save on costs as gb gets pricey on game nights. Be up early on Sunday. Also that game s the packers home opener so tix will be inflated. I'm flying dca to Milwaukee and the tix are reasonable, make sure you hit up yelp for good bar suggestions. If you've never been to Milwaukee let me suggest the safe house, major goolsbys us, two normal attractions. People in Milwaukee are loyal so don't go running your mouth about Braun, lol. But otherwise bay view water street and the east side will provide you some fun depending on what you're looking to get not. I'd you have any questions hit me up.

BigMike21 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm going to this game and I'm spending a fortune to do so. Got my hotel room the night the schedule was released. Staying at the HIlton Garden Inn on Lombardi Avenue. Im sitting in Section 119, row 26. Flying to Green Bay from DC through Chicago. Not sure how much that cost though because that portion of my trip was a birthday gift from my parents. I'm really, really excited to go. Not sure what my tailgating situation will be however, may not have a car and or parking pass since door to door from hotel to stadium is about 2 blocks or a half mile.
