Isn't this going to be the first college game at Lambeau since the early 1980s? I think I remember something about how Fordham and some other small school played a benefit game there in 1983 or somewhere in that timeframe, but I think that might have been it for college games until now. I know that the stadium was meant originally Lambeau was meant for use by Green Bay high school teams as well, but that ceased long ago.

Normally would be interested, but LSU just hired UW's DC, Aranda.

Fournette returns, LSU's defense is loaded, and Aranda will know the ins and outs of the UW offense.

I hope UW wins, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I grew up going to Lambeau; it's a great experience and as college-ey as you can get in the NFL.  But college football is for college students and the college community.  It should always be on campus.  Hell, I'd have the semifinals on campus if it were up to me.  If the NCAA wanted to ban something for no reason, they should have started with neutral site regular season games.

It's not a a matter of playing LSU at Lambeau instead of Camp Randall. They wanted a marquee opponent and LSU would not come to Camp Randall. So they agreed to play LSU at Houston and have LSU come to Lambeau. The decision was to play a non-SEC opponent at home or LSU at Lambeau Field. If anyone should be pissed it's the LSU fans. I don't see the lure of traveling from Baton Rouge to a generic NFL stadium in Houston. On the other hand Lambeau is like hallowed ground and it's less than 2 hours from Madison. Wisconsin playing at Lambeau is unique, not exactly like Michigan giving up a home game to play at Ford Field. I fly in from NY for about 4-5 home games and can't wait for this. I'm not even from Wisconsin or a Packer fan, either. Lambeau is a bucket list item. If I can cross that off while seeing Wisconsin play LSU, instead of having to watch the Packers? Same for LSU fans. They will flock to this game just for the draw of seeing their team at Lambeau Field. They are saying ticket demand will be incredibly high. Wisconsin will still have a home field advantage but it would not surprise me to see at least 25,000 LSU fans there.

This must be a joke. An SEC team North of the Mason Dixon line? In all seriousness this sounds like it would be a great game to attend.
