Secret Trip - Tour of Lambeau Field

After visiting the Packers Hall of Fame on Saturday morning, we proceeded to our scheduled tour of Lambeau Field, which included a visit to a luxury suite and down to field level, led by a couple of older gentlemen that just loved giving tours.  The lead tour guide took to Max right off and was bewildered that a boy from North Carolina, visiting Wisconsin, would be a San Diego Charger fan.  Max, in turn, was offended that the tour guide thought he was strange.

Some pictures from our tour of Lambeau Field:

Lead signage of the atrium at Lambeau Field ... this area, which includes the Packer Pro Shop (Gift Shop), Administrative offices, Packer Hall of Fame, and open atrium ... were all added to the stadium about 10 years ago.   From sketches of the new 49er stadium, it looks like they will have something similar in a corner of their new stadium in Santa Clara.


Waiting in the atrium for our tour to start ...




The tunnel ... leading from the Packers locker room (which we were NOT allowed in the day before the game) to the field.  


Pictures from field level (Stay off the Grass!!!)






(See how Charlie towers over Shelly now!!!)


Our lead tour guide, Steven, on the left ... offered great stories about the history of Lambeau Field


This sappy guy proposed to his girlfriend a minute before this shot.  What a tool!  Who proposes to his wife at a football stadium?  BTW ... reminds me of a certain sibling who had season tickets to 49er games and kept his tickets in the nose-bleed section because of some sort of female infatuation he had years before ... just kidding.

Also note, we witnessed another proposal the next day from another sappy guy to his girlfriend who will always be #2 to him because he loves a football team more than his girlfriend.  I told her that and she cried (I think she was crying before that, so I can't take credit for making her cry).  Then I slapped her across the face (I can take credit for her crying on that one!)

So I looked at Shelly ... gathered Steven, our tour guide, over and said, "Honey, there's something I want to ask you before we proceed."  <waiting> ... <waiting> ... "Where are the bathrooms around here?"
