What's This Thing Called Lambeau Field-- Part 2

People were all over the place, many standing in a particularly long line that I later found out was where some company was giving out Packer flags.

The meeting started right at 10 AM as they had announced. I'd say the stadium was maybe a quarter full. Green Bay had allowed fans to buy as little as one share, which is what Kip had done. Kip is what you'd have to call a rabid fan. He probably has enough Packer stuff to open his own store, but he could never part with anything. He even has a Packer Christmas tree!!!

Unfortunately, it had been raining and continued to drizzle off and on for the whole meeting. The bigwigs had a covered stage, but us fans had to sit in the rain. Fortunately, Kip had pieces of plastic which we were able to put down on the seats to avoid unsightly water marks.
