What a weekend! Badger game on Saturday night AND Packers game on Sunday! And as promised, I got some pretty fun pictures in case you missed the games.
With not much time before the Badger game, we parked on the top level of the ramp, ate some burgers and brats, and headed out to party. Do you like my friend's Badger hat?
Stopped at a few tailgates, but seeing that people had been tailgating for hours already, all of those pictures ended up having inappropriate things in them, haha. We did head to the Stadium View right across the street from the stadium for one serious tailgate party though. I actually used to work there on game days, so the owner, Jim, let me hop up onstage to get these great crowd shots for you!
It was a tough loss for everyone, but I cheered up a bit when I ran into one of my favorite couples outside, Joe Thomas and wife Annie! They are so great and were really pleased when I said how much Bubbler fans love and support them! Oh, and just for some perspective...I am 5'8"... and they make me look waaaaaaayyyy short.
After that, our group headed to the bars, which all had lines outside that wrapped around the block! When we were sent out at bar time, we noticed that we had booked a hotel that was almost an hour away...so like any sane people would do, we started driving in the direction of Green Bay thinking that we could find a hotel room somewhere along that path. Well, we did...a block from Lambeau field at 5:30am. Oops! So we slept for 4 hours, checked out, threw on my new Packers sneaks, and headed to the game.
I met some great tailgaters! Including the miller girls, and some fans still missing their Favre. And I even rode a mechanical bull! Maybe I'll put up that video later this week. :)
The guy with the facepaint in the picture above is actually 1 of the superfans in the fan hall of fame! He has been wearing this outfit to Packer games for the last 16 years...talk about dedication!
Let check out some of the tailgating rigs:
That one is a bra-mobile that says "Support Green Bay Football!" And now the best rig of all!
I got to jump up and see how the grill works up there. Oh, and don't forget about the contest for the best recipe that Johnsonville is holding! I'll be a judge at one of the Packer games in November so make sure you make me something good!
Then into the game. We had terrific seats!
Packer flags for everyone! Oh, and on a side note, I just wanted to say that I think we are the only team in the NFL that has wholesome-looking cheerleaders...
Alright, I hope you enjoyed the pics! Check back because I'll be going to lots more games this season and they can only get better from here!
