Last month, I had the amazing opportunity of going to Green Bay, Wisconsin where I received a two-night hotel stay, two tickets to the December 2nd Green Bay Packers game, and two sideline passes. I earned all of this because I won the Top Point Earner Contest on FuelUpToPlay60.com. To achieve this status, it was required for me to have the most points on the website by a certain date, and I did it!
On the Saturday before game day, my dad and I drove up to Green Bay. We then checked into our hotel. After dropping our things off in our room, we left for the Festival of Lights at Lambeau Field. This event had a cookie decorating station, hot chocolate, and a card making area. After going through the different parts of the festival inside the stadium, we decided to go outside over to Titletown, which is just across the street from Lambeau. Our first stop was the Ice Lounge. The Ice Lounge is always kept at 23 degrees, to keep the ice from melting. The inside of this lounge was breathtaking. There were different ice sculptures, including a train and football player. There were also ice tables and an ice bench. Overall, it was very cool (literally!) After the Ice Lounge, we walked past the ice-skating rink over to the Titletown field. It was an amazing thing to be standing on it, with the lights shining and the snow blowing all around. To finish off the Festival, we watched a laser light show on the side of the stadium, complete with fireworks.
The next day, game day, we headed to Lambeau and picked up our tickets. We went into the stadium and traded in our sideline papers for passes, which we tied onto our coats. We then walked down onto the sidelines of the field, and watched the players warm up! It was an awesome experience. After watching the players for about thirty minutes, we headed up to our seats and got ready to enjoy the game. It was really fun to cheer on the Packers, and it was perfect Packer weather as it was snowing too! Sunday night, we stayed in the hotel again and then left in the morning for home. This opportunity was very memorable, and I’m so glad I was able to enjoy it.
