My birthday isn't until tomorrow (9/16) but my mom couldn't keep it a secret.

She got me tickets to the Packers vs. Redskins game week 5 AT Washington.

The seats are at the 50 yard line, 8 rows up right behind the Packers bench.

I'm pretty pumped.

Anyone have any tips or anything?

Live it, breath it, love it.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

congrats. have a great time. Take a few photos. If you get there early your should be able to get fairly close to get a few of the players pix.

Binoculars are nice to have when the game is down at the other end of the field. they are ok to check out the line and blocking and for a run but you have to pull them down to see a pass play.

Get there early to park in the neighborhoods so you avoid the $20 or whatever it is for parking.

Common sense, but you want to enjoy the game, not stand in line to whiz, so don't drink much.

DO NOT LEAVE THE GAME EARLY! Fortunately most packer fans don't, but we need to take pride in not leaving until the final whistle, whether they're up or down by 50. I've always done my part and stayed to the bitter end even during the vick/falcons playoff loss (ugh, still painful memories)

Thats awesome! I was just talking to my brother (aka bozz_2006) this morning and realized that I have been to 6 packers games, 4 at lambeau (as well as a redskin-broncos game and a bears-vikings game, but those don't matter because a team isn't professional unless they play the packers, or are the packers). If there are a few things that definitely stick out in my mind, it is to get there a few hours early just to take it all in (you won't be let down) and to not spend too much time trying to take good pictures during the game, because you WILL end up missing things. Enjoy it, have the time of your life, shouldn't be difficult!!

I forgot to mention it, but I have a parking pass, as well. And I'm only 16, so I can't drink yet, haha.

Thanks to all for the advice.

You can still drink too much soda pop and have to whiz 🙂

And don't sweat jerks if there are any near by you. Wear your colors with pride, but give them your wallet if they ask for it 😛

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I would imagine Dallas will resolve this issue with a truckload of money

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : Micah pulling a Myles with trade request

beast (1-Aug) : Packers should make some cheese forks

Mucky Tundra (31-Jul) : GRAB THE PITCHFORKS~

Zero2Cool (31-Jul) : CUT HIM

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : if PH dies, there is packerpeople com available

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : database is on new host, eventually website will follow

Mucky Tundra (30-Jul) : Zero, regarding Ewers, you are correct.

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Sadly, this might be our life for awhile. I could put it on another host, but seems it was slower, although more stable

beast (30-Jul) : How long will it be down?

beast (30-Jul) : RIP site 😭

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Site will die, I have to restart it.

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Quinn stinks. Lot of underthrows. (my guess)

beast (30-Jul) : How did Quinn Ewers effect where Golden was drafted?

dfosterf (30-Jul) : All I've experienced was late at night or early morning. I just figured you were doing something in the background

Zero2Cool (30-Jul) : Site sure seems to be down more than up
