From Tailgating to the polka: A Bears Fan trip to Lambeau Field

Green Bay, Wisconsin:
Lambeau Field is 184 LONG MILES from Chicago on the way home after yet another embarrassing loss to the Packers. On the way to Lambeau, it's a "quick trip from Chicago, you'll have a couple2-tree braaats and have some beeeers dontcha-know."
I've gotta say, being a Bears fan since birth, I've always hated the idea of heading up to Green Bay to see a Bears and Packers game. (Mostly because of the looming through of doom of walking through the crowd at Lambeau just after a Bears loss.)
My hatred turned to envy once I parked my car in the makeshift front lawn parking lot. Besides it being the home of the Packers and all the hideous Green and Gold (Let's face it, it's flipping yellow) it's a truly magical place.
Yes, I said it...
I walked around Title Town, the beer halls, the front yard (and backyard) in the parking lot and took in everything that is right with football. With a chill of autumn in the air, Green Bay and specifically Lambeau Field provides the perfect backdrop to football. Football the way it was meant to be, outside, in a town for the people of the town.
I'm a Bears fan and I loved it. I walked the grounds with envy and hope. Hope that the Bears get the new stadium right, remember their Midwestern roots and build a place that Papa Bear would be proud of. Please, for the love of God don't sell your souls and build something like what is in Vegas.
Was I razzed a bit for my orange and blue? Yes...Hell Yes I was. Somehow it still came off as polite. (It's much worse than what Sox fans to do Cubs fans on the South Side)
Forget it's the home of the Packers for one second. If you want to see football at it's absolute best, in the setting, it was meant for, make the trip North to Green Bay, have a braaat and beer and soak in America's game, born from the Midwest.

It’s not enemy territory if the other side doesn’t consider you a threat.
Undercover packer fans at heart ❤ who wouldn't be after seeing the historic lambeau Field.🎉
I grew up in WI and have had the privilege of going to many Packers games and sit next to the opposing team’s fans on a few occasions. I am always happy the opposing teams' fans get to experience Lambeau. Lambeau Field is an NFL Shrine. If you are a football fan, you have to visit it once in your life. Get there early and tour the Packers Hall of Fame. Glad you had a great time (other than another loss by Da Bears).
Great video, I feel you captured it well!
I'm glad you had a chance to see what a real stadium and a winning team looks like. Thanks for contributing to the Green Bay economy.
Im going on the 19th to watch Love introduce GB to mid quarterback play 😅 and of course the season opener in Chicago
@@LordJove312 If you think the Bears only problem since 1985 is "mid quarterback play," you guys have been hitting the blue and orange Kool Aid a lot harder than I thought this off season.
@@johnnyblood2 which is why I’m going up north to transfer the curse lol
@@LordJove312 The McCaskeys will never own the Packers. You're stuck with that curse.
@@johnnyblood2 I’ll come back after week one lol but you’re not completely wrong, we’ve been getting our asses kicked my entire life however, “this year feels different”
Come to our side. We have candy. Beer and CHEESE.
I love watching when the light leaves Bears fans eyes when they lose to the Packers, it makes me so happy. And cheers to Manitowoc, I grew up there!
As did I . The Penguin was the best .
Im a proud season ticket holder!! Love my Packers!! GO PACK GO!! GO PACK GO!!@
This is a great video! Hope you had a good time, regardless of the outcome.
You guys are great fans…hope you win one some day ha ha. You are good sports.
Always sold out, even the next two miles of parking. No matter the score, the GB Packers HAVE THE MOST DEDICATED FANS!
Beautiful entrance into the bowl!
This will be my continuous 63rd + 1(Covid) opening game day this fall, and missed only 4 or 5 regular games + 1 playoff game. I always look forward to “The Bears” coming to Lambeau. You are by far the best of the best visiting fans to come to Lambeau, watch your team, meet and learn about new people and above all, have fun !!!! This will be one of the very few years I will not receive tickets for this game because the way the schedule was set up, 2nd 5th and last game, the Milwaukee season ticket holders get all 3 conference home games. (got my season tickets in 1961.)
What a cool video! I live here in Green Bay, but I truly appreciate getting the "outside" perspective. It really adds to my sense to appreciate things and not take them for granted. Yeah, "the Bears still suck" and all that razzing. I love my Packers, but I honestly cannot imagine them without the Bears. Papa Bear himself has a couple pretty important moments in Packer history.
The Vikings however, yeah that's another story...
Doesn't get any better than this. And now I can only watch from Oklahoma. Thanks for doing this video.
Hope you had fun! Go Pack Go!
That's the neighborhood i grew up in. A lot has changed, but a lot hasn't. Fun to see.
Life long Packer fan, thanks for the video! ❤
hope everyone one was nice to you brotha! man i miss wisco and the pack. watching from florida now!!
Totally makes me want to see a game at Lambeau!
Go Pack Go. But I’ll leave ya a like. Glad you got to experience the mecca. Should be every “football fans” bucket list trip.
random video in my feed, hello heh as a native manitowoc/Two Rivers resident I hope you liked your visit.
aye me 2
Our version of Mardi Gras at every home game. Hate the new digital tickets. Friendliest fans as a whole. Come and visit why don't cha.
If you like this video, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the page!
I think it's great that Bear fans travel to their owners and pay their dues.
awesome stadium
I hope walking into lambeau made you feel just like Rudy's dad feels when he walked into notre dame stadium after all the remodels of that stadium and lambeau were done by the same architect firm
You bears will never beat my packers. go pack go.
TOM honestly as football fan what do you think of that experience in Greenbay?
I thought it was fantastic. Football was born out of the Midwest, Green Bay reflects on those roots as a football experience
Loved it, was the best time I’ve had at a football game.
Heaven
Greetings from Manitowoc. Nice video. Glad you enjoyed your visit. But - Da Bears still suck.
How in TF did you get tickets?
Yep, Da Bears are not a threat. We don't consider you the enemy, just a minor part of our portfolio for all of us Packer owners. You seem like nice people, how could anyone treat you poorly. However, we own you and the Cowgirls. Go Pack Go!
Ownership once again asserted and demonstrated…. Go Pack go!
Yeah. Go pack go
Thanks for such great video and memories... oh, and da bears still suck. :)
We still own you
Isn't Lambeau awesome?? Bears still suck! GO PACK GO!
Lambeau isn't enemy territory. You may lose but they won't kick your azz like in Philly.
Packers r da goat
Go Pack Go! the bears still suck
