I visited Green Bay last week for the first time in almost 10 years. A couple notes:

1) What's up with all the traffic circles lol, this isn't Europe. When I exited there were no joke 6 consecutive traffic circles.
2) The new HOF is frankly worse. It's like more expensive-looking, but it doesn't have as much stuff and doesn't seem to capture the mystique that the old one did.
3) Point 2 is true, except for the trophy room. I thought that new trophy was pretty damn cool. As were the replicas of the championship trophies. When I approached the room I saw the Ed Thorp trophy by itself in a position of more prominence than even the Lombardis, so I knew something was up. Pretty cool story.
4) The new restaurant is better. Best cheese curds I have ever had, with the possible exception of Curly's Pub a decade ago.
5) Honestly I don't like the luxury seating apparatus on the south end zone (I think south end zone). I liked it better when they didn't have that.
6) The upper parts of the stadium with the rented press boxes were pretty sweet, better than I remember
7) The tour was very slightly worse than the old one, only because they didn't let us go into the stands anymore, but the tour guide was maybe the best tour guide I have ever had for any tour I have ever taken of anything. His name is Joel, if any of yall know him (I know some of yall on here work or worked at Lambeau).
8) The houses need to do a better job with Packers decorations. The ones next to the stadium are obviously pulling their weight but when we went through the neighborhoods it seemed like not every house was decked out in gear, and that's not okay.
9) What is that tailgate building in the parking lot? That wasn't there when I visited previously. I don't like it.
10) I don't like what they did with Lombardi's Desk in the HOF, if that even is Lombardi's desk. That was one of my favorite parts of the old HOF, and now they don't even make it known whether it is his desk or not. Plus it's not as cool.
11) Area around the stadium was built up pretty nicely. NFL should let us host a Super Bowl. So what if all the rich snobs can't get a 5 star hotel, boo $%@# hoo. Packers have done an excellent job with the surrounding area.
12) We better get another ring with Rodgers.

2) See #1
3) Roundabouts >>>> stop and go lights
4) Why didn’t you say you were visiting.

Green Bay's charm changed after Fuzzy and Bart died. There's no tie to the Glory Days other than statues and monuments, and stuff in the Hall of Fame.

I am eying to visit GB for our clash with the Cowboys. I will make a happy 15h drive with my rental car since I am in Texas at that time. Can I safely order Packers tickets via packers.com or which places could you recommend. I think for 300$ (my limit plusminus some bucks) I should get something not too bad. Anything useful to know when I am going to the game?
