Are You Ready For Some ----FOOTBALL???

WooHoo!!!  It's preseason...which means "regular" football is right around the corner!

The Packers started off their preseason last night - on a terrible note I may add - against the Arizona Cardinals.

C.J. and I were on hand to witness the slaughter first hand.

Green Bay is about an hour north of us...we planned to stop at the mall in Appleton so we left about 4:00. 

We hit traffic right away!!!  In fact, 90% of our drive looked exactly like this:




And our speed probably averaged about this:


Seriously...I was riding the brakes just about the whole way.

We finally got there about 6:20.  The game started at 7:00.

The recent addition to Lambeau Field which added an additional 7,000 seats.

Upper Seat additions. 

Probably only in Green Bay would 76,000+ people show up for a preseason game.

Scoreboard.  A lot of World Championships!  But only 2 in the last 35+ years.

Trust me...it was packed!  And sitting on a bench for three hours did little to help the pain in my back, neck, and shoulder.  But, I made it through and enjoyed everything except the actual game.

To be fair...Rodgers only played for one possession. And 30% or more of their starting team didn't even suit up.  But it was UGLY!!!

We left with six minutes left in the game - but then so did everyone else.   It took a little over a half hour to get to the highway (about 1/2 mile away). 

A great night with my son...thank you C.J.
