RE: Weekend-engagement week 30 wrap up: Musical musings

in Weekend Experiences4 years ago

I'm glad you asked. It was the quietest shuttle ride ever, my buddy and I brought beers and the rest of the shuttle were packer fans. They slept on the way in. And there was only about 4 tailgate parties going on in the parking lot, I shit you not, all four were Chargers fans.

Got another for you. We had breakfast before the game there in Green Bay, not a car on the street. I actually stood in the middle of the street for a picture. Ghost town. Had breakfast and the TV's didn't have any other games on. I said something to the waitress about it and she said they only watch Packer games. Man I thought that was funny. I said "you know there's like 30 other teams in the league, right?" She said "is that how many? No, I didn't know that."

Sort:  

ha, I believe that. It's religion up there. You must have caught a slow time for the tailgating, although maybe things have changed up there since I was there. The parking lot used to be filled with drinking. If you were lucky, you knew someone who lived near the stadium and they allowed you to both park for free and party before the game. This was like 2002-2003, and I haven't been back, so things have changed. If you really want a Wis experience, book a Brewer game; I've known a few friends who have ended up in the stadium's jail in the basement from time to time.
