Green Bay is the Packers, full stop: the smallest market in the NFL, and the only community-owned team in major American pro sports. Lambeau Field tours run year-round. The city itself is small, friendly, and built on the bay of Green Bay (yes, the bay is also named Green Bay). Tailgating is functionally a state holiday. Hot cocoa, brats on the grill, and stadium energy carry the winters.
