Taking the trek up north

I drove last night from Milwaukee to Appleton on U.S. 41/45. Traffic wasn't as thick as I thought it would be on the way to this city about a half hour south of Green Bay.

Appleton is where the opposing team stays when they come to play the Packers.

So the Seahawks are probably eating breakfast and attending team meetings at the Radisson Paper Valley hotel on College Avenue as I post this.

They will travel by bus to Lambeau later this morning to get ready for the 3:30 p.m. kickoff.

I imagine the traffic on U.S. 41/45 is a bit thicker today, and I'm sure it is the same on I-43 as fans throughout the state converge on the parking lots surrounding the stadium.

We'll check in a bit later with the WISN crew at the stadium in the early afternoon ... I'm guessing the brats are on the grill right now, I can practically smell them.
