    Are you spending all your time in GB? Do you have other time to spend elsewhere?

    Not really. We are leaving Ohio Saturday morning, getting to Green Bay around 5ish probably. Checking into the hotel then we have that evening to do something. Wake up Sunday, find something to do until the 4pm kickoff, maybe do something after the game, then wake up Monday morning and head back to Ohio.

    You should make a stop at Za's(if that is what it's still called) - Ha!

    Seriously for Sunday, take a sight-seeing trip over east along Lake Michigan...from Kewaunee and north is all pretty nice and if you guys have the whole day to spend you could cruise almost around the whole peninsula(Door County), at least up to Sturgeon Bay and the Whitefish Dunes state park. Maybe stop at a couple/few little bars then be back before 3pm. Just beware of rabid Packer fans on game day. Could be about 90-120 miles total driving though doing a loop over and up to the Dunes and back depending on your route.

    Is your GF into tailgating? That is the thing to do on Sunday. Like starting at 8-9am. Walking from bar to bar or walking the tailgate grounds is good.

    Seeing the Packer Hall of Fame would be one thing I would try and hit on Monday before you leave.

    Make sure you hit the lambeau field atrium as well. It's free to walk in and see it's beauty. Curley and Vince have their statues outside if it.

    If it were me, there is no way I'd be heading out of GB on gameday only to head back in and fight traffic. That is just me.

    What do you want a taxi for? Hotel to stadium area and vice versa? I believe so but I'm guessing most hotels have shuttles.

    Otherwise once you are in the area everything is within walking distance.

    Bar to bar is good. The stadium view bar is a good area to hang out. Saint Vince is usually there.

    IMO the tailgates are the best place to be. Bars are fun too but nothing like seeing the great things you see and the people you talk to in the tailgates.

    Perfect place. It's close. Tailgating is great. Close to the good bars. Decent price.

    If you want cheap but decent parking go farther to the east on Potts from the link above. You can park cheap in that area and still a reasonable walk. You can come in from the back side and avoid a lot if traffic.

    I want a taxi because my hotel is 2 miles from the stadium, and we dont want to fiddle with driving after the game (we will obviously be hammered).

    Ive heard good things about Curlys pub.
