This last weekend I had the chance to go to Lambeau Field to the NFC Championship game between the Packers and the Giants. If you don't know this is quite a privilege. So I jumped at the opportunity. The last time I had the chance to attend a Packer game was when I was seventeen years old and a senior in High School.
Outside Lambeau Field ...0nly -15.
There is so much I could share about the weekend I will try to just point out a few interesting things.
1. NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME
2. CHEAPEST TICKET ON EBAY - 1,500.00
3. -24 below winchill
4. Lambeau Field - AMAZING NFL HISTORY
5. Most people in the WI would have sold a kidney to attend.
The flag for the national anthem..pretty cool.
Question: How do I know when it is -24 below at a football game.1. Most everyone is sober(abnormal for a packer game) because liquid freezes 2-3 minutes after opening it.
2. Frozen snot is the latest fashion.
3. Shopping carts every 10 yards in the concourse filled with free feet and hand warmers.
4. Everyone is wearing hunting clothes..even those who have heated box seats.
5. NO ONE LEAVES THE BATHROOMS DURING HALF TIME BECAUSE THE ARE HEATED! I am not kidding. 400 people in a 30x30 room and 2 people are actually using the urinal.
(top right)Me and Joey standing next to V.L. Trophy's...wow.
(bottom right) Joey and I just before the game started.
Here is a video of the end of the national anthem. A jet flew over right at the end and about made me fill my pants. I would have had more pics and video but my camera froze up after the game started. I could not take any more pictures. I tried putting the battery in a warm spot but that was to painfully cold.

Don't get any closer to that glass case, or you'll get chopped in half by the laser beams.
Brobergs! This is the only way I was able to get ahold of you! How the heck are ya? I sent you our Christmas card but it got sent back to us. Did you move? If so, could I please have your address? Thanks, I hope you're doing well. We have to keep in better touch! My email is Nouvelle_55@msn.com

I am so happy for you that you had that opportunity. Some day I will get there! a dream all good Wisconsin-ites have! How do you know you are watching the game in a 72 degree living room....? you can sit on your comfy couch without seven layers on...hot food can sit out on your coffee table and remain hot for more than three seconds....snot remains in it's proper gooey form (the way God intended it to be).....there is only one person in my bathroom at a time. All of that being said...I would still have rather been there in person! great blogpost! I was waiting for it.
nice cheesehead! I think I will have to get my dad one of those:o)
Whoa...Totally Fantastic. Even us Minnesota boys dream of attending a game at Lambeau.
Tough ending, however. We were with the young Reini's in Bemidji pulling for the pack all the way.
Great Post.
That is a very cool post! See you guys in 12 days!
Hello Brobergs! I was blog surfing and stumbled across you guys. How exciting that you got to go the game.
