In another post someone had a picture of themselves with the Superbowl trophy from the Colts this past season.
That made me filter through my pictures of Lambeau and the Packers.
I have been blessed with a father who has significant connections to the Packers.
I have been a spoiled Packer fan for my 35 years.
I have been to well over 100 games and have met nearly every significant Packer player in person,
at Hall of Fame Dinners, Social Events and numerous Charity Events.
Heck, I even roomed with a Packer player's son in college for two years, though not associated with my Dad.
I have been inside every nook and crany of the three versions of Lambeau during the past 20ish years.
Version I [Coragated Cardboard Look] - Version II [Suites and Scoreboard Addition] -
Version III [Current Attrium and Hall of Fame].
I can't track down the pictures from the first two "upgrades" but I have a few hundred from Version III.
I have attached some of the coolest ones to this thread.
The company my father works for was a General Contractor for the last two upgrades for Lambeau.
The owner of his company is high up in the Packer organization
but the coolest thing is the owner's father used to fly Nitschke, Hornung and
I think Magee back from the Service every Saturday to play on Sundays and then fly them back.
Every week in his personal aircraft with no compensation from the Packers. He just loved football.
Okay, enough of my tooting my horn here are some cool pics.
Below is building of the suites and completion of the scoreboard.
Below is the club level and a farther back shot of the above suites picture
Coming out of the locker room. Favre, Driver, and many others stood here.
Building the locker room
Putting up glass in the atrium
Club level bar over look into the atrium
Outside glass work
And my Favorite picture. My Dad's company built the glass cases for the trophies in the Packer Hall of Fame.
What I think is neat about the pictue is seeing the naked helmets in the background with no stripe or G

Cool stuff, some nice pics. Must've been pretty cool to stand in the exit to the field from the locker room. Think about standing there with that place packed and all those fans staring back at you.
I've been into the are where the Vikes come out in the big inflatable toilet we call the Metrodome. I just stood there, my wife looking at me like I was rain man or something. Just imagining what it would be like to stand there hearing 65,000+ people waiting to scream when you walked on the field. What an experience that would be.
Thanks for sharing.

Some pics I took last season before a game, the end zone shots are taken from inside the scoreboard on the right if standing on the Packers sideline.
