Lambeau Field Experience from a Colts Fan

Great FanPost from masonzbt on watching the Colts game at Lambeau Field. Here is a portion, but be sure to read the whole post here. It is great:

1.  The stadium has outdoor restrooms for tailgaters built into the stadium.  What a great idea.

2.  There is not one bad seat in the entire stadium.  I sat in the last row by the green wall.  GREAT seats.  Just awesome.

3.  The friendliness of the fans.  I shared many a beer with Packer fans, and not that our fans are not gracious, but they understand we bring dollars to their economy and there is NOTHING else up there but Packer football.  I think we have a few fans who could learn this lesson, but on the whole, I think we are always gracious hosts. 

4.  The tailgating experience is unreal.  We bought a pass to the Brett Favre Steakhouse and drank and ate like kings.  There are so many bars with huge, outdoor tents prepartying like crazy.  So much fun.   The area surrounding the stadium is as fun as the game itself.  After the game, its like an all night party.  I certainly hope in the next twenty years we develop the area around the stadium as well.  Jeff Saturday should open up a steakhouse near the stadium, it would be packed.  Hey Jeff, let's open one.

5.  Being outside.  Nothing like football outside.  I love our open air roof, I understand the necessity of it.  We will host a Super Bowl.  Green Bay will never host a Super Bowl.  Advantage Colts.

6.  For those who do not have seats, obviously there are plenty of bars close by to watch the game, but they have huge outdoor tents in the parking lot for fans to watch the game as well.  $5.  Pretty cool, being tickets are so hard to get!  I hope one day demand is always like this for the Colts!

7.  COLTS FANS DO TRAVEL.  There was a great showing of Blue and White.

Except when its 10 degrees! I’m still hating on the schedule makers for having the Boys play the Steelers at Pittsburgh in December, I’m going to freeze my ass off!

That's Football Weather

Don’t tell me you’re whining about the weather. Just wait until you see the shirtless guys in that 10 degree weather waving their Terrible Towels.

I'm Jealous

I’ve never traveled for a Colts game before. I’ve traveled once for a Notre Dame game (@ Georgia Tech in 2006), and it was unbelievable. I probably would have gone to the Bears game if it was at Soldier Field, but I won’t get the opportunity to travel this year. That’s the bummer about Sunday games. You need to find a game on a holiday weekend where you can get the Monday after off.
