It's all in the tailgate.

We were at the game two weeks ago. The San Francisco 49ers vs the Green Bay Packers. It was a spring like warm and beautiful day. We are in the habit of getting started early, so at 8:00 am. we were putting up the new canopy.
The parking lot was surprisingly empty that early. Some weeks it will be completely full at the same time. One thing I have always said is that you can't guarantee the outcome of the game, but you can guarantee the fun of the pre-game tailgate. The recipe is pretty basic: brats, chips, drinks and cigars.


Twenty years have passed now since I started bringing Jeff to Lambeau and we have enjoyed every tailgate, but not every game.
