Went to the game last week and had a great time. We tailgated just south of the south end zone. I am 61 and have been going to Packer games since 1968. It is starting to get more difficult to find a tailgate spot around Lambeau. Some of them we could have gotten into but they said no grilling. That is almost UnAmerican at a Packer game. My question with the new title town going up I am concerned it is getting too commercialized around Lambeau and someday we will all have to have a special pass to get a spot. What do you think?

That's a really good question, and I don't know the answer. That would be criminal if it got a lot harder to tailgate in the coming years, that's such a big part of what makes going to the game special. I have to think they know that and will preserve it, but you never know. The NFL is a big money chase, the league and teams are doing everything they can squeeze every penny they can get from fans. But at least through this current administration they've seemed very mindful of holding on to traditions that make this place unique while also trying to make a lot of money and keep up with the rest of the league that way. If you or anyone else out there detects significant changes that way, make sure you let us at the PG/JS/PackersNews know.

Can't give you a good answer. Thompson doesn't churn the bottom of his roster like Wolf did. It's relatively rare that teams help themselves with in-season pickups, but sometimes you can find a stopgap where you have injuries. I do wonder why they didn't sign Spiller, I thought he was a guy who actually could help them a little.
