From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
I just keep wondering where in the hell are all the folks from the league, media and other teams gonna stay? Does GB have the lodging for all or will some have to stay in the Valley?
I want to know what bar to meet at Monday.
Stadium View it is, 5pm
Have fun guys! I'll be watching it on TV down here.

I think I’m making the trek. Dates aren’t final yet but I’m looking at getting up that way Easter Sunday (April 20) and staying until the 26th. Still working some things out but…save me a seat for Monday at Stadium View!
I’ll be working the draft. Might be available for Monday at Stadium View.
The Packers lunatic fringe is more visible because of sheer numbers. The Packers have one of the largest fan bases in all of sports. If the fringe percentage is the same as with other teams, then we end up with larger volumes of nut jobs. - JustJeff

There's a chance I may come on Sunday and stay that night and maybe Monday. Work plans pending. Looks like some hotels are available near the stadium and at normal prices for those days.

What will you be doing?
Yet to be determined. I'll know next week.

Ever hear of the Oshkosh Air show? There are rooms. Might be 30 to 45 miles away, but there are rooms.
I came into this world KICKING and screaming, naked, and covered in blood that wasn't mine.
I am prepared to go out the same way if I need to.
We were looking at opening up some rooms within walking distance of Lambeau on one of our properties, and the price isn’t worth it. Meaning people arent getting that desperate for places to stay, it’ll be fine.

You mean the price isn't high enough so you didn't open up the rooms?
Palmy - "Very few have the ability to truly excel regardless of system. For many the system is the difference between being just a guy or an NFL starter. Fact is, everyone is talented at this level."

I really wonder if the common man will move heaven and earth to go to GB. I’m an out of towner, like majority of draft/nfl fans and when I think of the time/resources it takes to make the voyage to GB, I’d much rather use up that capital for a game

Attendance will be interesting
It's an individual thing for everyone. I have done countless games. To me, this is a once in a lifetime event and I happen to be a pretty big Draft junkie. I think there are plenty like me and even to the opposite extreme where they would prefer this over a game. I don't know where people are staying or how it is all going to work logistically and I don't really care. I think when the show goes on, Thursday, specifically, people are going to come out of the woodwork and I wouldn't be shocked if this shatters attendance records.
