10 Reasons Why EAA AirVenture Visitors Choose Green Bay (GRB)


Green Bay’s Austin Straubel Airport (GRB) is the perfect base of operation if you’re a pilot planning a visit to the 2011 EAA AirVenture air show.   Whether you’re coming from across the state, across the country or across the globe—Green Bay is a great place to land.  Here are 10 reasons why you should consider Green Bay for your EAA AirVenture visit this summer.

#2 – Packer Training CampYou’re only minutes from Lambeau Field and the Don Hudson Practice Facility.  Sports Illustrated's Peter King in 2005 listed the Packers as having one of the best training camps in the NFL and also anointed it one of the "Summer Essentials" -- a list of SI's writers' recommendations for the ultimate sports summer.  Sit on the bleachers along Oneida Street and watch the Packers prepare for the 2011 season.   Get autographs from your favorite player.  Check out the famous bike ride from the stadium locker room to the practice field – kids offer their bikes to players so they can ride the 500 yards from the locker room to the practice field.  Practices begin July 31 and continue through the month of August.

#3 – Door CountyPraised by travel writers and visitors from around the world, Door County, Wisconsin offers scenic seaside experiences in the heart of the Midwest.  Surrounded by Lake Michigan to the north and east and the bay of Green Bay to the west, this long and slender peninsula with 300 miles of shoreline combines natural beauty and outdoor adventure with acclaimed performing and visual arts, galleries and shops, local cuisine, and famous cherry orchards.  Door County is a short 30 minute drive from Green Bay on four lane highway.

#4 – Lambeau Field & Packer Hall of FameCommonly referred to as the “Mecca” of professional football, Lambeau Field is minutes from GRB.   The best way to enjoy the experience is with a Stadium Tour.  Lambeau Field stadium tours allow fans to experience the Packers' history-rich facility first-hand and see several behind-the-scenes areas.  Also be sure to check out the Packer Hall of Fame.  Relive the most exciting moments in Packers and football history.  There are nearly 80 exhibits including three Super Bowl trophies and a re-creation of Vince Lombardi's office.  Plus, for an authentic Packer dining experience, try Curly’s Pub in the Lambeau Field Atrium.
