Hey Packers fans, here's your chance to share your favorite memories of the Green and Gold with other fans from around the world! This week's edition includes a trip 40 years overdue, a 21st birthday present of Packers tickets, and railbirds from Iowa taking in the training camp experience.
Each week, Packers.com will post a feature called 'Packers Fan Memories.'

 I took my daughter to her first game in Lambeau last October for the Bears game. What made this trip unusual was that Ashley was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and spent the majority of the year undergoing chemo and radiation. During her illness, her one real wish was to take a trip to Lambeau to see the Packers. Although she is a big Brett Favre fan, she feels a special connection with Deanna Favre, knowing what she has gone through to survive breast cancer. It was a great trip and she fulfilled her dream.

 For my 21st birthday, all I wanted was a trip to Green Bay to see a game at Lambeau Field before Favre retired. My parents decided to spring for some tickets and I was able to finally see the Pack play at Lambeau. From the beer and brats before the game to watching the Packers beat the Lions and going to the Packers Hall of Fame the next day, it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. If you like sports at all, then you MUST see a game at Lambeau Field!

 My friend Dana and I came out to see training camp for the first time in 2007. We had the whole experience that week. The day before we left, Dana's friend told us that she had some tickets available for the December Lions game. Of course, we were up for it! Little did we know it would be Brett Favre's last regular season game. We were very cold, but we had so much fun and can't wait to go back to another game!

It took me 40 years to pull the trigger, but I was finally able to do it. As those who attended this game remember, getting a flight in was very tricky. My flight was canceled into Green Bay from Chicago. I flew into Appleton instead, then took a cab to Green Bay. I arrived, but my suitcase didn't. Needless to say, people from Vancouver are more used to rain than snow, which made for an interesting 48 hours before gametime. You know what? I wouldn't have changed my first Green Bay experience for anything! Go Pack Go.

 My first Packers game at Lambeau Field was the Lions game. I went with my dad, mom, and my uncle Darren. We saw the players having a great time, ecspecially the special teams guys dancing during commercial break. We did the wave and yelled "Go Pack Go! I watch every game with my dad at home. I love the Packers!
