they say you’re not a true cheesehead until you’ve made a pigrimage to lambeau field to see the green bay packers play a game.

so, i jumped at the opportunity to their first game of the post favre era and the beginning of the aaron rodgers era in a preseason opener against the cincinnati bengals.

a good time was had by all, even as the packers lost the game.

i hear packers fans fill the stadium even during scrimmage games so i guess it’s not surprising that the stadium is filled to capacity during a preseason game.

there was loads of optimism amongst fans within earshot about the prospects for the team at the dawn of the rogers era even as it became clear that they’d lose the game.
