green-bay-958923_640How to Pack for the Packers - If you are coming to Green Bay for an exciting Packer’s game be sure to use these few helpful tips when packing!

  • Remember the weather: during football season (peak November season) the weather is typically mid to low 30s actual temperature, mid to low 20s real feel. Pack plenty of green and gold layers, and don’t forget gloves and ear warmers!
    Plan for football traffic: Plan well in advance your hotel accommodations, eatery reservations, and general traffic time so as to skip the heavy sporting city traffic. Plan on getting everywhere an hour early and maybe even taking advantage of tailgate picnics while here!
    Try to get in a Lambeau Leap: Don’t forget that this is the land of Green and Gold, the home of the original cheeseheads, so take advantage while you’re here and try to tour the field or catch a real-time Lambeau Leap during the game!
