Titletown The Holy Grail of NFL Stadiums

I know it sacrileges to go into the enemies camp but going to Lambeau Field has always been on my bucket list. It was awesome to learn about Curly Lambeau the founder of the Acme Packers in 1919, Vincent Thomas Lombardi the greatest coach of all time. It is truly a beautiful and modern stadium and they have a huge Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame. For being a very small TV market they rank 4th in revenue for the NFL through all of the side events (Conferences, Tours of the stadium, hall of fame etc.) The Packers are owned by the ticket holders and a few people who own public stock in the team. They are not owned by filthy rich people but by the people that attend the games. They just added 6700 seats for a total of around 82,500. Will be the 3rd largest stadium in the NFL. Amazing considering there are only 108,000 people in the Green Bay area. Oh ya every home game has been sold out SINCE 1960!!!! There is a lot of history and mystique behind this stadium. So glad I was privy enough to take the tour.  Pics to the right.

North Platte River Archway

We were told by my brother about this Museum that was built across I-80 just west of Kearney Nebraska. When we pulled off of the freeway it was pouring down rain , lightning and thunder so we thought this would be a good break to wait for the weather to pass. This place is huge and documents all of the different trails that merged here in Kearny NE before heading west for the California gold rush. It also documents the early days of highways like the great Lincoln Highway (highway 30) similar to route 66. Enjoy the pics on the right hand side.
