Does anyone know the details of Green Bay Packers practices? I have a neighbor with a 9 year old son that would like to view a practice. My assumption is that the practices are probably closed to the public. However if we go down near the practice fields is there anything else to witness?

I was told that this is impossible. Even Orsini's office (facing the field) and others with field views are to be vacated and/or curtained. The FBI is checking on every SMU field employee (I guess gambling rather than terrorism?). The security is obviously very high and practices definitely closed.

There is no way they would let anyone watch their practices. I heard Josh McDaniel was snooping around with a handheld camera...Spygate 2?

that's crazy

That's a bummer but this is what I expected. Thanks

I remember going over to the practice field outside Ownby in the early 60s to watch the Packers practice in preparation for their game with Dallas. Guess I was in 3rd or 4th grade. Got autographs of Bart Starr, Willie Wood, and about 10 others. Have no idea whatever happened to those autographs. Two or three of them were on the player's trading cards.

If you want to see the players, your best chance is at a top restaurant or club--assuming you can get in.
One of our favorite watering holes is setting up tents and tables in their parking lot, planning on three reservation periods per evening (Friday, Santurday and Sunday), serving until 2:00AM, charging $2,000 per table, with a complimentary bottle of Dom, Vodka, and Tequila. Everying else is ala carte. They are sold out.
250,000 visitors arriving in Dallas and the vast majority will never even see the stadium, much less attend.
Now that is crazy!

Hotel Zaza's restaurant/bar, Firefly, is where I saw LBJ during All Star weekend.

Did you also see Lincoln and Washington? LBJ died in 1973. What was in your drink?

Haha, not Pres LBJ, but Decision-Maker LBJ (Lebron James)

They are staying at the Omni Hotels, but you will probably not be able to get close to a player without some credentials.

Damn I would love to see the players and get a chance at autographs for some diehard Packers fan friends of mine.

Perhaps if you hangout outside the practice field and no one runs you off, you might get a chance for an autograph as they move from the practice field back into Ford and the locker room. That's a really big maybe. Good luck.

Wear a black t-shirt w jeans and tell the guy at the gate you're with the band.

Perusing the web and came across this nifty board, good read by the way. You guys won't get near them. Hear you have a beautiful campus down there. Go Pack!
