    And, you guys are right; Most hotels appear to be two-nighters. Is Holiday Inn City Center an OK option? I know it's out of the way, but I assume I'd be able to find my way back one way or the other at night, right? (It's at 200 Main St., right on the river.)

    I'll back up what the Press-Gazette retweeted ;) .... It's a good place to stay: right along the river, quick drive to the stadium, even quicker walk to the Washington Street bar district.
     
  3. This is all helpful. Thanks to everyone.

    Joel, that's great. Question: what do you mean by this? "I got tickets/pre-game tailgate through Packers tours; you guys ever done that? Figured it was a decent deal for out-of-towners who know no one." Could you explain what you got, and why it's good for out-of-towners?

    I didn't see that! But I appreciate the input. Seemed like a fine area; the hotel seems so-so, but I'm sure we won't spend much time in it. Thanks again!

    Walking distance hotels that I can think of off the top of my head: Hilton Garden Inn, Cambria Suites, Best Western Midway Motor Lodge, Days Inn, Tundra Lodge (more of a family place with an indoor waterpark), Road Star Inn.

    Hotels a few miles south off Oneida St/Hwy 41: Holiday Inn (not City Center), Ramada, Comfort Inn, EconoLodge, Hampton Inn, Fairfield Inn, Baymont Inn, Super 8.

    Besides the Holiday Inn City Center, Hotel Sierra and Best Western Downtowner are located near the Washington Street bar district.

    There's also an aloft hotel along the river off Broadway near 172. And a slew of hotels out by the airport off 172, including the Radisson with casino attached ... that's about 3-4 miles away.

    Yes, these are off the top of my head.

    The "official" tour company of the Pack; I just figured since I won't have a grill/cooler/etc., this would work well. The tickets came through this place, along with this big tailgate. Was wondering if others had done it, as well.

    In addition to that, there is also a huge tailgate party (yeah I know the whole place is one huge tailgate party) open to the public right outside the east side of the stadium.
     
  8. Oh, this looks great. I think I might well do it. Thanks for mentioning it.

    Do not eat at Favre's Steakhouse. Overpriced for highly mediocre food.
     
  10. I am impressed.

    If you want to get a sense of what battery acid might taste like do taste the Brett Favre Cabernat they proudly serve.

    Can't believe Packer fans have not burned the place down.

    Finest commercial wine made available by a son of Kiln, MS, no doubt.
