![]() ![]() ![]() I got a quick yes, and the plot was in motion. It wasn’t long before we were Googling the team’s 2016/2017 season schedule and when we saw that Ron’s favorite team, the Dallas Cowboys, was coming to town in October, I shot a text to a friend with Packers season tickets asking if he’d be willing to part with those. Kirk Bell, a Wisconsin native who now lives in Chicago and writes for The Car Connection and the communications director from Toyota expressed their desire to do the same. That’s just what I, several other automotive journalists and manufacturer’s representatives were doing after a day of driving on the track, when Ron Doron a Californian who publishes The Driver’s Seat said he’d always wanted to see a game in Green Bay. Pick a name in American sports car racing – Gurney, Unser, Andretti, Foyt, Shelby, Newman, Revson, Donohue, Penske and more – they’ve all been seen enjoying a drink or two and telling tales of their on and off-track adventures at Siebkens. Siebkens has been host to racers and fans for generations. Filled with racing memorabilia from the 1950s on, it’s located just five miles from Road America, America’s National Park of Speed. If you’re not familiar with Siebkens it’s one of the great motorsports bars in the country. And not just any bar, but the legendary Siebkens Tavern in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. It started – like seemingly all the great adventures in my life – at a bar after the consumption of a few adult beverages. So how did I end up at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison on a Saturday night watching the 8th ranked Wisconsin Badgers take on the 2nd Ranked Buckeyes from Ohio State, then in Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon taking in the 3-1 Packers versus the 4-1 Cowboys? Is there such a thing as too much football? Thanks to Toyota, after spending a weekend at two iconic stadiums witnessing two great rivalries, I can unequivocally say the answer to that question is “no.” ![]()
