Stuck in Lambeau

Once a year we make a pilgrimage to Lambeau Field for a Packer game.  The day was great, the game was great, the VIP passes for sideline access were extra great.  Photo record below.

Only this time we almost didn't get back home.  The car started after the game but the shifter wouldn't move out of "Park".  Good old AAA towed us to a dealership and dropped us off at a hotel for the night and in the morning we discovered what was wrong.  An $8.00 "spring assembly" broke underneath the shift lever.  $300 worth of shop labor later, we were on out way home, minus one unplanned vacation day.  Oh well.  Could've been worse, right?  At least it decided to break at Lambeau, instead of at a gas station in Waupaca or someplace.  Lambeau field is pretty at night...



But I do like it better during the day. :)



You can see the new construction at the top of the South End Zone - lots of new seats coming next year, so the waiting list will get a little smaller, and J1 & J2's names a little closer to the top.

The rest of this post is a photo recap of the pre-game on-field visit (including shots of the bench, the heaters, the first aid rack, the replay booth, Fox's overhead camera, Aaron Rodgers & Clay Matthews warming up, and... Pam Oliver on the sidelines.  What hair!)
