Brett is still considering whether he will be on the bus or not. He needs more time.Najeh Davenport will be on the bus. He will need to make rest stops in every city. However, he is planning to leave a present for faithful Packer fans.

- tickets for a lot of NFL game can be purchased 1 hour prior to game time
- some teams sell out an occasional game or two
- a few teams even sell out most games, during most seasons like the chiefs and redskins
...and then there is the green bay packer fan base
oh yeah, don't forget

Packers showing teams how it's done?I agree that it is a very cool thing for them to do, but The Saints have done this for a few years now. They load up a bunch of players and travel all around the Gulf South signing autographs and meeting with fans.That is too cool. I could give a rats rear end what their underlying motives (if any) are, I wish more organizations would do that.

Really? Go ask the 50,000 that attend the intersquad scrimmage each year. Or the countless number of people that travel to Lambeau Field during the offseason to see the Hall of Fame, tour the stadium and the new Atrium they built. Not to mention the parties, wedding receptions, meetings and other activities they hold year round there.

I hope you didn't think that I was being critical of GB, or minimizing what they are doing. I was just saying that this is not something new to the NFL. I don't think there is anything shameless about this at all. In fact, I like GB as a city and as a team.

All those "sold out" games with half the bleachers empty every weekend. Great loyalty for holding on to their tickets, but the fans didn't come out to games like they did once team starting winning. It wasn't like 65,000 diehards every week for 10 years. They were as fair weather as any other town with a pathetic team for so many years.Oh man, one of the most painful decades in my life. :(I guess I dreamt all those games I went to in the 80's...

WRONG!!!! WRONG AND WRONG!!!!The only time Lambeau or Milwaukee County Stadium wasn't filled during those times were a few bad weather games including the game against Tampa Bay in 1985 when GB was in the middle of a massive blizzard.All those "sold out" games with half the bleachers empty every weekend.

http://www.packersnews.com/topics/lambeau/..._12560546.shtmlJust like the above post said--a sellout is NEVER actually a sellout, no matter who the team is.

As someone who lived in Wisconsin when the Cowboys were winning titles, yes, the Pack fans will flock to someone else. I was always amazed how many Cowboy jackets there were. I'm not saying they don't have a loyal base to sell out their games and such but much of Wisconsin is fair weather fans. Always enjoyed them cheering for the Twins too since the Brewers were doing nothing.

Will they be wearing helmets on this bus???
Because between the short bus and the guys with helmets they might get mistaken for the special Olympics!!! Then again it could be true!!!

WRONG AGAIN! Typical Green Bay hater with no facts. The previous thread referred to Lambeau being half empty. That has never been the case and not even close. Yes, you can bring semantics in about a true sellout but that is much different to some clown stating the stands were half empty or another clown trying to support him. Anyone that was to Lambeau Field or County Stadium during those times can back that up. You haters really need to get a life because your posts are pathetic.You're an idiot to post that link to even try and rip on me in this thread. Did you even see the results of how many tickets were sold? Or the fact it didn't even mention the 1980's in which much of this was referring to?That's funny--according to this article, from PACKER NEWS no less, it's never filled.WRONG!!!!

You obviously have no clue. Sold out in Green Bay or Milwaukee meant sold out. I went to many many games as my dad had season tickets. Never ever were there any open seats.Go fish somewhere else tool.

Wow, you guys are easy. Just push the button a tiny bit and BAM! 
Nah, I'm just trying to raise your blood pressure a little. I know the Pack backers are a faithful bunch. You stand behind your boys through thick and thin. That's admirable (and rare) these days.
Nothing personal. Just razzing the cheese heads.
And if there's an empty seat in Lambeau on game day, it's because the guy is visiting the head and grabbing beers for the rest of the row.
Tell ya' what REALLY gets me (and someone touched on this before) is the fair weather fans. You know the ones--they jump on whatever bandwagon's fashionable at the time. Bears in the 80s, then the Niners, then the Cowboys, then Packers, Rams, Pats...their closets are so full of old dusty jerseys it looks like the friggin' Hall of Fame. But as soon as a team starts heading south, they bail. And the worst thing is...they usually don't know SQUAT about football.
Growing up in Illinois I saw this first hand. When the 85 Bears hit, everyone and their dog had a Fridge jersey, MacMahon sunglasses, and the Super Bowl Shuffle on a 45. It was soooooo fashionable and cool to be a Bears fan. But as soon as the Bears slid and the Niners rose, these same people were chucking the Blue and Orange for Montana and Rice jerseys. WHOOO LOOK AT ME! I LIKE THE NINERS! THEY'RE GOOD!
Losers.
Get a life--or better yet, a team.

You have no clue, do you?I owed half the Green-and-Gold packet in the 70s when GB sucked badly. They sold out every game and it was a very tough ticket.
The same thing happened in Madison in the 70s when UW sucked badly also - they filled the stadium every game.
The Packers will have no trouble filling the stadium regardless of whom is QB in the next 5 years. People in WIS bleed Green and Gold.
