Watching the Packers play football in Lambeau Field: PRICELESS
Yes, sportsfans, Richard and I made the journey to Mecca (according to Richard) last Sunday to watch the Packers play in the NFC Championship game. Except for the score and the fact that season is now over, we had a fabulous time! The weather could have been a bit warmer, but that didn't seem to deter the 72,200 fans inside the stadium (or the thousands outside who couldn't get tickets!) from standing and screaming the entire game (oh, except when the offense was on the field -- then, you could have heard a pin drop -- after all, "Quiet, please -- offense is at work!" -- or so the signs said -- might have been nice if the offense had actually shown up!)
A self-portrait. (Please note the cheesehead on Katie's head -- one of the rare occasions when she'll actually put one on!)
Lombardi Ave. -- almost to the stadium...
There it is!! Mecca...
The North End scoreboard -- don't know why it says Browns... 17:35 til kickoff!!
Here they come out of the tunnell!!!
The big "G" flag!!
Every other game we've watched, they've announced Brett's name out of the tunnel -- this game they didn't. Strange. So here's a shot of him "sneaking" out onto the field -- he's the lone Packer on the far right side.
Getting ready for the kick-off -- they had to do it twice because the wind kept knocking over the football. Finally, they had someone hold the ball. The crowd thought that was a bit of cheating and let them know it with several "Boos!"
Brett's first play of the game...
