I don't envy your drive. I drove from MS to Omaha, and that drive was terrible. And I like driving. That was around 13 hours, so I can't imagine driving 16.
I'm ONLY looking forward to it as it's "MY" Packers.
Ok, my dream and I gotta do it.

You staying in appleton? There a nice little hotel in shawano right off hwy 29 thats cheap and the pizza place nearby is some of The best za ive ever had. Yes inluding nyc pizza
I'm honestly not sure yet. The wife has a friend that can get me any room for 25.00 a night. Hopefully not some run downed place.
If so, I'll check it out for sure.
Me and my buddies try to make it out to road game or two every season. This year we are going to Pittsburgh for a Steelers game..... Last year we went to a cowboys game, and a Cleveland Browns game. It really is a wonderful experience. We always try to get there on Saturday and make a weekend of it.... Like for the Cleveland game, we arrived Saturday and went to the hall of fame in Canton, OH...
Anyways good luck with that drive, I dont think I could ever drive that far, we drove to cleveland which was 7 hours and that felt like alot. We flew to the Dallas game. we are planning on driving to Pittsburgh which is also 7 hours... Thats the longest I am willing to drive though.... You can find alot of cheap flight deals these days.
Very cool. As I stated earlier, I wanted to wait to watch my first NFL game until I could go Lambeau Field and watch the Packers play.... I've had several chances in the last 5 years or so but, do to money constraints, I've been unable to. Otherwise, I'd gone a longtime ago. Now that times are getting a little easier, I plan to do this at least once a year. Maybe even go to other games. Dallas is 6 hours away, New Orleans is 3, Memphis is 3, and Atlanta is 6 I think too. I event turned down FREE box seats for the Saints game this last weekend.
I just paid for the tickets I'm getting and they will be here tomorrow!! I'm so excited.
I've driven 12 - 14 hours before. I made a journey from Jackson, MS, to OKC, stayed the night, drove to Salt Lake City Utah, stayed the night, drove to Las Vegas, stayed the night (and partied my (__Y__) off), and then drove to Cali. Two days later, drove back the same way.
So driving that long for myself won't be a big deal, the part that's going to suck is after the game. I'll be driving all night (instead of day like Saturday) and hope to get home around 8 or 9 that Monday morning.
My nephew that I am taking with me is a Steelers fan. I'd like to go up there for a game. His requirement to go on this trip is that he has to wear all GB gear and not mention one word of the Steelers.
(I like the Steelers too.)
