For those of you hitting the second leg of our trip to historic Lambeau Field you are in for a treat. Outside of the NASCAR circuit there is not a larger collection of rubes in the western hemisphere to be found in one locale. Here are some things to expect:
Yes they do wear the cheeseheads - You would think this would have run its course by now but the cheesehead is still thriving. There is also a nice array of cheese accessories to be had (ties, etc).
Those 12 world championships are important to all - You will be hard pressed to pass a souvenir stand or overhear a conversation that won't inevitably tie back to GB's historic performances. It will be even more heated with the Vikings in town. Pretty much every conversation between these two will have the same ending. Whether debating sports or a new tree stand expect to hear something like this...
Bombed Vikings Fan w/Face Painted and Helga Braids On - "Adrian Peterson is gonna run all over your sorry club."
Bombed Green Bay fan w/Cheesehead and Blaze Orange on Fresh From Morning Hunt - "Oh yeah, well how many Super Bowls have you won?"
They love sausage in Green Bay - It's pretty much your solo option for food. The good news is they are tasty.
They don't read a lot in Green Bay - As much fun and pageantry as it is to visit Lambeau, you are left with one truth - people in the state take it way too seriously. It's time to mix in a book.
They are not the fans they say they are - Another nauseating experience will be the consistent holier than thou "we're the greatest fans on earth" nonsense that will be spewing from thousands of Miller soaked mouths. Yeah, OK. That's why you killed Dan DeVine's dog and boo incessantly when Favre launches one into the opposing teams mits.
You will all be entering the hallowed grounds at your own risk but rest assured, it will be something you won't forget.
