Doc’s Lot – looking northeast

I wanted to post this earlier, but got kinda busy this week. Anyways, even though I have been, am and always will be a Chicago Bears fan, I will say that Lambeau Field (Home of the Green Bay Packers) is almost always a good time (not being a Packers fan can create issues). The location is wonderful. You’re driving through a medium size suburban town residential zone and there sits the stadium. So yes, lots of “lawn parking” is used to accomodate the ticket holders and generate some good cash for Lambeau’s neighbors. Thankfully, this does not create a damper on the tailgating. Mmmmmmmm, brats….. (in the voice of Homer Simpson) The bar scene is better than it used to be since they built up the Stadium View area a few years back. The younger crowd tends to drift that way as there’s way more bar space over there. Kroll’s is the classic venue, but always packed (no pun intended) to the brim. The Kroll’s lot always has a decent live band as well. So if I’m not tailgaiting, I tend to wander that way.

It’s about 3:15h in the car one way for me to get up there. So the Bears game was waiting for me when I got home. Anyways, I have access to a few tickets every year and went to this went to see the home opener against the Eagles. And since I am not a fan of either green-clad team, I may very sure to not wear anything that would indicate I may be cheering for either team. We can’t have that. Though, I was leaning towards the Eagles as I picked them over GB on Yahoo’s Pickem game. Way to muff your kick returns Philly… My Bears make the trip up here in October. More to come on that later…
