maury77 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Green Bay is awesome if you have never done it, but there is absolutely nothing to do besides the game. I'm debating between Denver and Pittsburgh. I've been to Denver, but not for a game. I've never been to Pitt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GKnight83 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 We are going to the following road games: Cleveland - my Brother and his family live there and are Browns fans Chicago - couple partners are Bears fans. Love the jazz clubs on Rush St. Buffalo - like to go to the Anchor bar for wings and will be visiting the Tesla, Fisher-Price and Moog while there. Just a note, all are involved in the space program. Also, before the Redstone Armory was upgraded in Huntsville, Bell Aerospace in Wheatfield, NY was where the Gemini and Apollo rocket engines where tested. Only mention this because a lot of you tend to think of Buffalo as a red-neck village. Oh, and Niagara Falls was the birthplace of Nabisco (well the Shredded Wheat part), Carborundum (moved there is 1895 after failing in PA) and the Olin corporations. Not bad for a city with under 100,000 residents. Kind of like Jasper, IN with a population of less than 10,000 but home to 3 multi-billion dollar conglomerates (two of the Kimball corporations and Jasper Transmissions btw). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waka Flocka Flacco Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Definitely Denver. Cleveland and Pittsburgh two weeks apart is close enough to swing in one trip but I think the team is a year away from being worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boss is very let's say frugal. If we are visiting customers and I let him choose the hotels, he finds places far far worse than that. One of them did indeed have bed bugs and those are an experience I wouldn;t wish on an enemy.. I was amazed how quickly everything went. Flights are pretty ridiculous too so planning on flying to Chicago and driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to be home Sunday night and best way to do that without having to rush out of the game is actually Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about 2 hours from Lambeau and 20 minutes to Sand Valley. Sleep in your rental car and bring some bug spray lol. Room for an RV? Just kidding that is too far for me to drive.
