You are planning a trip to Green Bay for a home Packers game for the first time, what could be more exciting than that?! Of course, you’ll visit Titletown, the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame and perhaps partake in an alumni led stadium tour at Lambeau Field or hop on the Packers Heritage Trail Trolley Tour. The last thing you will need to know about to complete your weekend adventure in Green Bay is where you can find the best pre-game party.
Every NFL city has their own take on tailgating and each team has different fans with their own pre-game rituals, but we like to think Packers Nation has the best fans and they sure know how to cheer on the Pack in style.
If kickoff is at Noon, 3:25 p.m. or even on a Monday night, have no fear, there’s a party happening at least four hours prior to game time and it's impossible to miss. But with so many options, how do you choose? Who has the best live music, the best beer selection, or how about an all you can eat and drink buffet?!
It is important to note once you enter the area surrounding the stadium, you will find people everywhere and the locals that live near the stadium may offer you the chance to park on their lawn for a fee of $10-40 dollars for an easy in and out. Once you find your spot, maybe for free on the street if you arrive early enough, or in one of the lots surrounding the stadium if you don’t feel like walking too far, it’s time to decide where to go to get in the gameday spirit. After you cross Lombardi Avenue, you will be sure to find the action. Some of the roads will be closed for ease of walking from tailgate to tailgate, all within a short walk to Lambeau Field.
So, where should you go? Here are the top tailgating spots you can find every gameday in Green Bay.
