Getting my gear ready. I recently just received these for the game. The wife was not happy.

Venturing into Enemy Territory
The Bears play the Packers at Lambeau Field in the first regular season game on Sunday night, September 13. Which also happens to be our anniversary. So I bought tickets thru StubHub.com for the game for Judy and I. Paid $170 each for 2 tickets with a face value of $59 each. OK, no big deal. Search Stubhub to see what the most expensive tickets are going for if you heart can take the sticker shock!
Then I booked a hotel room one block away from the field. $86.00 bucks! What a deal! Until I looked closer at my booking some weeks later. I booked the hotel for 8/13 and not 9/13. Dumbass! I called the hotel and they let me cancel but they were already booked for game day. So by scouring Hotels.com I finally found another hotel. It's a mile away from the stadium but they have a shuttle to the game. Now for the kicker...you have to book 2 nights and the total came to $435.00! What a royal ripoff! I guess that's the only way Green Bay can make any money (being the podunk town that it is!).
Now it's just a matter of figuring out which, of all my Bears gear, I should wear to the game. Since I have several to chose from. Will post pics of my choices later.
