The Lambeau Experience

The whole thing was great!  I feel like an official Wisconsin resident. Too many cool things and neat experiences to name.  Yes, me and 79,000 of my closest friends.  Here are a few highlights:
  • I ask the metro bus driver how much to ride to Lambeau.  "It's free.  The city of Green Bay welcomes you."
  • The driver asks if the guy wearing the Vikings jersey is still on the bus.  Yes, we say.  "Too bad.  I thought you would have thrown him off by now."  (Why he was wearing a Vikings jersey is a mystery.  We were playing the KC Chiefs.)
  • Miss Wisconsin sang the National Anthem.  A fighter flew over very low as she was finishing..."brave."
  • Every third down for the Chiefs we stood to make noise.  That is called G-Force, making for a hostile work environment for the opponents.
  • I saw Rodgers and starters make a touchdown on the first possession.  Looked easy.
  • At halftime peewee ball carriers were lifted up for their own Lambeau leap.
  • Packers won 20-19.  Priceless.  I'm ready for the season to begin.
