Need any more tickets? I have a pair I'll let go for face value, $126.00

Thanks, but this is a father-son thing. Although I wish I'd only paid that
much for 2 tickets!

Depends. How long are you staying in town? If you're coming just for the
game it seems silly to me to rent a car and then pay a bundle to park it.


I just talked with an old high school buddy, and he's going to come fetch us
at the airport, AND let us use one of their cars!

:-)

Of course, to me, it's silly to come that far just for the game. Take in
the Hall of Fame. Take in the Neville Museum. Take in the National
Railroad Museum. the City of Green Bay is celebrating it's

sesquicentennial
this weekend, take in the parade!


We're going to be arriving in Green Bay about noon on Monday, taking our
friends to lunch, and then we're free for the day till game time. The Hall
of Fame is a definite must-see (I grew up in Wisconsin during the "Glory
Years" of the 60s -- Vince Lombardi was God, and Bart Starr was the Pope),
and I'd like to make a day trip for the railroad museum another time.

The parade sounds fun -- what day is it?

Well, if you arrive about noon and then take your friends to lunch, you
won't see much of the Hall of Fame. It will close at 2 PM on Monday. It's
normally open 9 AM to 6 PM but the hours have to change due to the game.
The other establishments in the stadium alter their hours as well. Curly's
Pub, a fine place for lunch, by the way, will be open to the public 11 AM to
3 PM. They reopen at 5 PM to those with a game ticket.

Thanks for the tip!

I guess it'll be a short lunch.

I don't want you to have a bout of sticker shock when you reach the HoF.
Admission for you is $10.00, same for your son if he's twelve or more, $5.00
if he's between six and eleven.

Glad to see the Packers are charging a premium price.

They're hurting for money, you know...
