This is the best place for a Packers game ... Don't think so? Tell us your favorite venue.

Obviously, Lambeau Field is the best place in the world to watch a Packers game and second would be any other team’s stadium when the Packers are visiting. However, if you cannot personally attend a game, then what? Watch the game in your own living room, go to a local bar, piss off the Bears fans by crashing an Old Chicago restaurant?

I humbly submit that if you cannot be in Lambeau (or in an opposing team’s stadium for an away game) then the best place to watch a Packers game is at the Mission Theater and Pub in Portland, Oregon (http://mcmenamins.com/210-mission-theater-home).

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the Mission Theater and Pub was originally built as a church, but now lives as the perfect embodiment of theater and pub. The pews have been replaced by tables. The pulpit replaced by a movie screen. Pass the collection plate replaced by pass the mustard. When the Packers play on Monday nights the congregation comes attired in their finest jerseys and foam cheese ornaments.
