Lambeau Field

Welcome to Lambeau Field, the crown jewel of the National Football League! After undergoing a dramatic facelift in 2003, Lambeau Field has been transformed into to a year-round tourist destination with a host of new amenities and attractions. The Lambeau Field Atrium is home to the Packers Pro Shop, Packers Hall of Fame, Curly's Pub, and other Atrium dining, event, entertainment and retail options.

I spent two days at Lambeau Field. The first day was a Saturday, where I visited the Packers Hall of Fame, had a stadium tour with Packer's legend Leroy Butler and went to the Packers Pro Shop. Shout out to the lovely ladies behind the desk who loaded me up with a bunch of free promo gear to take back to my friends here in Australia and taught me how to deal with the freezing cold. The hall of fame was two stories of the history of not only the Green Bay Packers, but of football itself. Exhibits showing the evolution of player protection, important games of Packers history and the Packers Hall of Fame display room (full of bronzed footballs, each with the details of important figures in Packers history) were highlights. After this I took a pre-booked alumni tour. Whilst originally a little hesitant because of the price (about AUD$100), this turned out to be the most amazing part of the day. Leroy Butler - four time Pro-Bowl cornerback and inventor of the Lambeau Leap - took us into the owner's box, through the tunnels and out next to the field itself (which unfortunately we weren't able to go onto due to the game happening the next day) to take photos with us all behind the end zone. Finishing off the evening, I went downstairs into the Packers Pro Shop. Literally any product you could think of was available with a green G logo on it, although the prices were exorbitant. The staff were absolutely lovely and helpful though. To top off my brilliant day, as I stood alone in the carpark in dark, freezing weather facing a 20 minute wait for my Uber, I saw this large man running towards me screaming "Hey Australia! Let's take some more selfies!!!" It was none other than Leroy Butler, who waited with me in the freezing cold, peppering me with questions about Australia. Leroy - if you see this, the offer is still there to show you Australia if you ever come over. My second day was Sunday game day, Packers vs the visiting Atlanta Falcons. For fifteen years of fandom I had dreamed of seeing an NFL game live, and finally I was about to see my beloved Packers at home. First of all, although the line-up was huge, the security staff managed to keep things moving incredibly fast - no small feat considering attendance was over 78,000 people! Concessions were typically expensive, but in freezing temperatures being able to buy hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps in it was one of the best things I could imagine. One of the most surprising things about Lambeau is that no matter where your seats are, you are guaranteed a great view of the field. It truly is a marvel of engineering. Thankfully I was in the lower section, about 15 rows back from the field on the 30 yard line, but everyone around me was wild and having a lot of fun, encouraging me to get involved as we beat the Falcons. I even got to see Aaron Rodgers break an NFL record (completed passes without an interception)! A tip for people from warmer climates - dress in layers. No, more layers than that. Before wind chill it was -10 degrees Celsius (wind chill taking it down past -20C) in the middle of the day. Maybe it's because I'm from tropical Australia, but I wore four layers of clothing plus mittens and a beanie and still was shivering cold. Heating pads are also essential purchases. All in all, Lambeau was somehow even better than I dreamed it would be. I will be back again some day.

LSU Tiger Stadium

Reviewed By johnmS1018WM - Baton Rouge, United States

If you want a college game day(and night) experience that will provide a "Remember the time we..." experience, catch a big night game in Tiger Stadium. There is no pre-game tailgating that compares to LSU...the food (from gumbo to jambalaya to etouffee to grilled oysters to...) is delicious...and most tailgaters are happy to share their dishes. The music varies from party to party, just keep moving till you find your tunes...sattelite dishes/streaming provides tailgaters with the day's games...you will likely end the day with many new friends.... Oh, the stadium...originally designed to look similar to the Roman Colosseum, additions obscure much of the architectural detail; however, the north end of the exterior still maintains the classic look of an acient amphitheatre. Inside, with 102,320 other spectators, is where the magic of Tiger Stadium will transform your viewing of a college football game into a singular experience... Saturday Night in Death Valley

Fenway Park

Hallowed ground to baseball purists, this cozy, quirky park has been the Boston Red Sox home field since 1912. The most distinctive feature of this classic baseball park is the 37-foot-tall left field wall, known as the "Green Monster."

Reviewed By 1kramer2 - Brights Grove, Canada

Last year we visited Wrigley and this year was Boston -- the park is stunning -- the guides are very knowledgeable and the views from the Green Monster are incredible. Well worth taking the tour -- however the area around the park during game times is an experience in itself with entertainment, food stalls and of course Red Sox souvenirs.

We love a good ball game and follow our Blue Jays! Can’t say enough about the staff at the field- so friendly and warm!!! Made us feel very special. So many meal options and just a very pretty park.

Yankee Stadium, “The Cathedral Of Baseball” and the home of the New York Yankees, the most successful sports franchise in history. My wife and I have attended multiple New York Yankee games in the past and we’ve always enjoyed our game experience at the Yankee Stadium!!! Both my wife and I were swept by the beauty and design of the stadium’s ballpark, admired the stadium’s homage to the previous Yankees stadiums of the past, enjoyed visiting the New York Yankees Museum, and loved the hundreds of photographs that capture the history of the Yankees and showcase their players of today. Hopefully in the near future, when the days of COVID 19 are long behind us, fans will get to visit Yankees stadium and watch New York Yankees baseball. The Yankee Stadium is undoubtedly the best ballpark ever made!!!

Jackson Hole Rodeo

Reviewed By phila374 - Wallsend, United Kingdom

This was our second visit to Jackson Hole Rodeo and it was just as good as the memory of our first visit. We had pre-booked our tickets as we had last time, but this isn’t essential. The atmosphere at the venue is very family friendly, as is the whole experience. The main seating area is opposite the stalls used by the riders and the animals (bulls & horses) giving a great view of the action as they’re released into the arena. The event also includes barrel racing by some very talented female riders, calf lassoing, and the high-light of the evening for the kids of chasing either sheep or calves to retrieve a bandanna. The evening lasts about 2 and a half hours of fun and entertainment. The event has loads of space for parking should you be driving there, alternatively if you’re staying in Jackson Hole it’s only a 10 minutes stroll from the town square. Should their calendar match with our next visit to Jackson Hole, we would definitely be attending again.

Minute Maid Park

Reviewed By 249SusanB249

Minute Maid Park is not only home to our champion Astros , it is also home to thousands of Houstonians and guests who love this super clean, upbeat beautiful ballpark which features occasional fireworks and a fantastic train that blows its whistle and chugs across the far side of the ballpark every time a member of the Astros makes a home run. Completed in 2000, Minute Maid Park is in an extremely handsome structure with a retractable roof that is opened or closed depending on the weather conditions. You can be sure there will be no cancelled ball games because of weather. In busy downtown Houston, police officers direct traffic to minimize congestion around the park, but allow sufficient time to drive your car through crowded streets, park, and walk several blocks before you find your seat and, if you're an American, place your hand over your heart just in time for the National Anthem. Whether you're an American or a most welcome International guest, there just couldn't be any better place to watch a ball game and all the sideline entertainments than Minute Maid Park.
