A Bearded Man Goes to Lambeau Field


This weekend I went to Green Bay, Wisconsin to watch the Packers play the Houston Texans at famed Lambeau Field. I'm a Chicago Bears fan, not a Packers fan. And even though the Bears and Packers are rivals, I must say that everybody who is a fan of sport needs to take a trip to Green Bay to see a game at Lambeau.

It was just a great experience. It's amazing that there is this small town with a professional football team. You drive around the town and see houses, a shopping mall and restaurants and then you see the enormous Lambeau Field rise out among it. Everybody up there is die hard for their team and the town really does shut down when a game is being played.

I also think you have to go up there in December or January to get the full experience. Nothing says seeing a game played on the Frozen Tundra more than freezing yourself in the stands.
