A fan’s experience of Green Bay Packers game weekend at Lambeau Field.

With the 3-2-1 Packers on a bye, there’s no game to talk about this weekend.

I was fortunate to be able to attend the Week 2 Vikings game in Green Bay. I decided to treat the game as if it was my first time in Green Bay and do all things Packers to embrace the uniqueness that is Green Bay.

Here’s a first-hand look into Green Bay on game day weekend.

Being a lifelong Packers fan, I have been lucky enough to attend many games. I’ve seen them play in five different cities and six different stadiums. I’ve also been able to attend many NCAA games to gauge a good comparison to what other teams and towns’ game days are like.

I’ve come to one conclusion: Green Bay is a cut above the rest.

To ensure I got an unbiased view of the Packers’ game day experience, I invited two friends from where I currently live, Omaha, Nebraska. This would ensure I got a different view of Green Bay, as well as make me feel like a new fan myself.

There are many Packers fans around the globe who may never get to experience a game day in Green Bay, so I wanted to provide a view into what it’s like.
