Green Bay, WI
If there's any doubt about where the spotlight shines in Green Bay, the city's representation on the Internet might provide a clue. The Green Bay Area Chamber of Commerce can be found at titletown.org. The official site of Greater Green Bay? Packercountry.com. The web site of the area newspaper, the Green Bay Press-Gazette, features a photo of Lambeau Field in its masthead and its top two sections are "Local News" and "Packers" (which is then followed by "Sports"). See our Pilgrimage special Lambeau or Bust.
Indeed, the Packers rule in Green Bay -- and throughout Wisconsin. Founded in 1919 and the only publicly owned team in major pro sports, the Packers enjoy a dedicated following that knows no rival; the team has sold out every home game since 1960, and season-ticket holders famously include the tickets in their wills, foiling the tens of thousands of Cheeseheads who reside on the team's decades-long waiting list.
The Green Bay Metro bus system provides public transportation service throughout the city, hitting even the major non-Packers attractions like the National Railroad Museum, the Bay Beach Amusement Park and the Green Bay Botanical Garden. Bus fare for the Metro is $1.50.
Austin Straubel International Airport is less than eight miles southwest of Green Bay but does not offer public transportation into the city. Standard shuttle services are available, and a cab ride will cost approximately $15.
