The NFL listened and granted my wish. The Jacksonville - Green Bay game is on Sunday December 14th. PERFECT!!!!! It is in December and the week we typically go down to Florida to celebrate Christmas with Tina's family. It could not have worked out better. No September Florida heat, but according to my sister-in-law Nicole, this past December was hot. They did not have to wear sweatshirts to any games this season, but it was obviously better than September. Excellent.
The Tampa game is in late September and that is way too hot to be in Tampa...plus it is peak hurricane season. We will pass on that game but will hopefully be in Tampa in February for the Super Bowl...please Packers. Now I am just getting greedy.
The Packers have 3 Monday night games and one Sunday night game...it is an awesome schedule to show off our team and new quarterback. In addition, the first preseason game on August 11 is on Monday Night...that makes 5 prime time games this season. So the countdown is on. Less than 4 months until the first kickoff. Awesome.
