They're not playing there this year, but one city I had an absolute blast in when I visited was Green Bay.

Disclaimer: I was there over Memorial Day weekend. Not in January.
I have been to Green bay several times, both in the Winter and Summer. Warm weather is best. Not an impressive town, reminds me of South Bend but the Stadium is spectacular.
Wisconsin is such a beautiful place to visit though the lake coast doesn't come close to comparing to the Western shores of Michigan.
Madison is a fun town. Really beautiful.

I get to Wisconsin almost yearly for architectural tours all around the state. Home of Frank Lloyd Lincoln Wright. His residence Taliesin sits in the Wyoming valley along the Wisconsin river. Utterly beautiful. Much like PA but no real mountains to speak of.

North of Green Bay is wine and fishing country. At the very tip of the peninsula is a tiny state park called Rock Island. The place is full of snakes(none dangerous) but they are all over the trails. It is only accessible by boat and is a Summer camping destination because of the cool temperatures.

Under Tomlin, the Steelers haven’t been good on the road, especially long distance. I could see 1-3 west of the Mississippi, or worse.

1 Sept. 10 vs. 49ers 1:00 PM FOX
- Just not sold on 9ers QB room. I am fairly certain game 1 Tomlin and Canada will be intent on pounding the rock into the teeth of the 9ers defensive front. Steelers let one slip away they could’ve won (0-1)

2 Sept. 18 vs. Browns (Mon.) 8:15 PM ABC
- 8 days prime time night at home. Due to the Steelers low aspirations offense I could easily see them giving this one away as well. Somehow they squeak by. (1-1)

3 Sept. 24 @ Raiders 8:20 PM NBC
- Fresh off their 23-20 offensive explosion against the Browns a jet lagged Steeler team shows that their run run and run some more offense is no joke and that the Raiders QB room needs help. Steelers 20-16 (2-1)

4 Oct. 1 @ Texans 1:00 PM CBS
Steelers 23-19. Texans are bad (3-1)

5 Oct. 8 vs. Ravens 1:00 PM CBS
Tie 23-23. I can’t be confident in the Steelers offense to win big games at this point (3-1-1)

6 BYE

7 Oct. 22 @ Rams 4:05 PM FOX
The Steelers ALWAYS blow a game or 2 on the West Coast. Nothing about this game makes me think it will go against trend. Steelers waste a bye 34-20. (3-2-1)

8 Oct. 29 vs. Jaguars 1:00 PM CBS
Steelers win at home against a frustrated Lawrence. 26-20. (4-2-1)

9 Nov. 2 vs. Titans (Thurs.) 8:15 PM Prime Video
Steelers offense has a yet another FG field day 26-20
(5-2-1)

10 Nov. 12 vs. Packers 1:00 PM CBS
Learning year for Love. Steelers 23-17 (6-2-1)

11 Nov. 19 @ Browns 1:00 PM CBS
DeShaun Watson rubs and tugs one out. Browns 34-20 (6-3-1)

12 Nov. 26 @ Bengals 1:00 PM CBS
Best trio of WRs in the NFL making it work for the Bengals 34-27 (6-4-1)

13 Dec. 3 vs. Cardinals 1:00 PM CBS
Jet lagged Cardinal team gets brutalized by sleet/ice/snow fest. Steelers 27-13 (7-4-1)

14 Dec. 7 vs. Patriots (Thurs.) 8:15 PM Prime Video
Belicheat is pretty good. Mac Jones is not. Steelers win the NHALS trophy yet again !!! Steelers 26-23 (8-4-1)

15 TBD @ Colts TBD TBD
With NHALS firmly secured Steelers blow a game they should win with only a few games left. Colts 27-20 (8-5-1)

16 Dec. 23 vs. Bengals (Sat.) 4:30 PM NBC
Bengals assert their dominance again 41-27(8-6-1)

17 Dec. 31 @ Seahawks 4:05 PM FOX
Seahawks overcome the Steelers at home 27-20 (8-7-1)

18 TBD @ Ravens TBD TBD
Steelers gut out a road win against a Jackson injury sidelined Ravens team early and pray for help later in the day to grab a wildcard spot. Steelers 23-17 (9-7-1)

Being a CA guy I’m going to look into going to either the week 3 in Vegas or week 7 in LA.

Prefer Vegas on Sunday Night Football.
I am going to the Rams game. I live about 40 miles east of Sofi stadium. They charge $100 just to park. I'll park at Cal State Dominguez Hills and just walk over there. Or I'll park close and Uber to the stadium.
Steeler Fury connect?
They'd be cool. Do you live out here. I'm in the Inland Empire

The real question looking at weeks 1-3 maybe 4 should be are we going to throw Jones out against Bosa, Jussie Garrett and Maxx Crosby follow up with Baltimore to start his career off or do they start Moore and fold Jones into the line-up heading into the bye week or coming out of the bye week? Do you let the kid learn on the job and risk the QB's blindside for a month or use him as a 6th lineman in early weeks?

Jones as a 6th lineman reporting eligible and Washington capping off the edges might be nice for short yardage and goal to go situations along with Pickens and Muuth.

Rookie LT vs a brutal stretch or fold him into the scheme as he grows?

I’d say you’d have to see how he does in camp.

F he’s night and day better than Moore you start him.

If he struggles then you don’t need to rush it.

I’d like to win week one. Whoever gives us the best shot.

Maybe the plan is to have him replace Chuks his rookie year and move him to LT in his second year like they did under Cowher with Searcy. At the least he gets a game jersey each week.

Then again Tomlin started Moore as a rookie from the start at LT.

I could live with that but I still believe those teams would scheme players against a young player. Playing on the right at least protects KP8's blind side a bit more.

Well, the tix for the Vegas game certainly weren’t cheap. Got them today.

3x as much for equivalent seats for the Rams game in LA.

Buuuut, the ladies “want to see a show” while we are at the game. Soooo Vegas it is.
