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.

Don't Call It A Comeback, I've Been Here For Years

I'm back on blogger, hopefully publishing with some kind of consistency this time around. I'm looking for an outlet to spark some creativity, express some viewpoints and just write on a consistent basis. Hopefully those of you who maneuver to this page like what you read.

Basically, I'm a kid out of college without a full-time job. I do freelance reporting work for the Daily Herald, a suburban Chicago newspaper. That gives me lots of free time during the day. And sometimes SportsCenter, Home Improvement, Yes Dear, The King of Queens and playing video games get a little bit dull. So, this is going to present a young persons view on the world and what's happening in it.

Enjoy.
