How can I cut costs when attending a Green Bay game?

Simply cut out all food, drinks, programs, and buying any memorabilia. But that still doesn’t eliminate gas, food you consume before entering the stadium, parking or ticket. The best way is to carpool or get your local travel agency to put together a charter bus for a group. Group tickets are usually discounted, include pre-game food and you don’t have to worry parking.

Jet Travel and Tours is announcing the Cheesehead Extravaganza 2013 coach bus to go watch Green Bay play against Detroit on Saturday, October 06, 2013. This will include toundtrip coach from Ashland, WI directly to Green Bay, WI Field with a professional tour host, food & drinks at tailgate party and Upper End Zone Tickets.
