What Will Become of Green Bay Packers Center Scott Wells

Time is running out for Green Bay Packers center Scott Wells, but the question remains, what will become of him? Scott Wells will be an unrestricted free agent in twelve days when his contract with the Green Bay Packers runs out. Recent contract talks between the Packers and Wells' agent have gone nowhere. Wells is considered one of the top three free agents for his position and he wants to be paid like one. It seems as though the Packers are unable to pay him like that. On the other hand, the Packers don't exactly have a replacement for him either.

Fellow teammate TJ Lang recently spoke out in defense of Scott Wells. Lang says that Wells, a generally quiet guy, was one of the major forces behind the Packers successful offensive line this past season. He calls him a role model with a strong mental prowess. He was the unsung hero of this year's team. Lang does not want to see such a player go. Who can blame him?

Mike Vandermause of the Green Bay Press-Gazette makes a good point that the Packers would be wise to invest in Wells. He also points out that the Packers and Wells contract situation has been over exaggerated. There are still twelve days left before free agency and usually it takes some time to hash out a deal. Wells was the best lineman on the great Packers offense and Mike McCarthy has not been short on praise for Wells. A strong case has been made in defense of keeping Wells on the Green Bay Packers and I hope that a contract deal can be reached.

Seating at Lambeau Field: Indoor Clubs vs. Outdoor Clubs

Although the next Packers game at Lambeau Field won't be until August, it's never too early to start thinking about next season and where you're going to sit at Lambeau Field. (Unless you're a season ticket holder and then you know exactly where you are going to sit.) As a diehard Packers fan, I'm always thinking about the next Packer game, even if that game isn't going to be for another six months. Last year, I sat inthe outdoor club seats for the first time and I must say, those seats have become my favorite seats at Lambeau Field. Before I sat in the outdoor clubs, I didn't really know the difference between indoor and outdoor club seats. Now that I've experience the outdoor club seats for myself, I'd like to share with you the difference between indoor and outdoor club seats.

Indoor clubs vs. Outdoor clubs

Obviously, both the indoor clubs and outdoor clubs sections are located on the club level of Lambeau Field. To get to the club level, you will be directed to a special set of escalators by Lambeau Field staff. Once you are on the club level, you have access to more food and beverage options than you would at the 100 or 300 levels of the stadium. You can also dine inside the club area or you can receive the same food and beverage options at your seats thanks to the friendly wait service. If you decide to stay inside the club level, there are large screens available so that you won't miss a second of the game.

Indoor club sections are located in the north end zone. There are two levels of these sections, the 400 and 600 level. These sections are even-numbered and range from 470-494 and 670-694. Indoor club seats are inside behind glass windows and these seats also have seat backs. Wait service is also available.

The outdoor club sections are located on the east side of the stadium and are in the upper bowl. These sections are odd-numbered and range from section 403 to section 435. Seats in the outdoor club sections come with chair backs so you are not sitting on benches as you would be in the 100 or 300 sections. Waitstaff offers a variety of food and beverage options.

Watching the Packers game at the club level offers a whole different experience than watching the game in the 100 level. While I do love roughing the elements in the lower bowl, I recommend that every Packer fan experiences sitting in the club level at least once.

Green Bay Packers 2012 Opponents

I'll admit, I'm still not quite over the Packers vs. Giants playoffs loss at Lambeau Field. From 2008 and most recently on the 21st of January. With a 15-1 regular season record, I thought the Packers had the Super Bowl in the bag. Of course, given the nature of football, nothing is certain and anything can happen on any given Sunday. I'll get over the Packers loss eventually. What really helps get over the disappointing end to the Packers season is to look ahead to the Green Bay Packers 2012 season. I'm already thinking about Green Bay Packers tickets and which Packers road games I might want to attend. Here are the Green Bay Packers 2012 opponents:

Packers Home Opponents:

• Chicago Bears
• Detroit Lions
• Minnesota Vikings
• Arizona Cardinals
• San Francisco 49ers
• New Orleans Saints
• Jacksonville Jaguars
• Tennessee Titans

Packers Away Opponents:

• Chicago Bears
• Minnesota Vikings
• Detroit Lions
• St. Louis Rams
• Seattle Seahawks
• New York Giants
• Houston Texans
• Indianapolis Colts

We've got the usual NFC North suspects and then some other surprises. I would have loved to see the San Francisco 49ers face the Packers this past season as they were the number 2 seed and viewed as the Packers biggest threat. It will be great to see the two teams in action next season. I'm thinking that I'd like to travel to either Seattle or New York to see the Packers play. Sure, Indianapolis and St. Louis are about a day's drive away, but I'd like to go all out for a Packers road game. Why not make a mini vacation out of it all?

Looking to the 2012 Green Bay Packers Season

The Packers vs. Giants loss still stings a little bit, but not as bad as the Packers playoffs loss from 2008. At the beginning of the season, I was almost certain that I would be gearing up for another Packers Super Bowl around this time. Now that the Packers have been eliminated from the playoffs and Aaron Rodgers is gearing up to play in the Pro Bowl, it's time to look to the 2012 Green Bay Packers season. Here's what we can expect in the 2012 Green Bay Packers season:

• Personnel changes. Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin has already accepted a head coaching position with the Miami Dolphins. We will probably be seeing more changes on the coaching staff as the off-season
  progresses.
• No more Matt Flynn. Flynn has proved this season that he can hold his own as a starting quarterback and quarterback-hungry teams will be looking to secure the free agent. Some sources are saying that he will follow Philbin to the Miami Dolphins.
• Changes in the defensive line. There's been talking of putting Charles Woodson at permanent safety. There's also been talk of trading AJ Hawk.

All in all, the Packers had an exciting 2011 season, finishing with a 15-1 record. It was disappointing to see their Super Bowl dreams cut short, but the Pack will be back to dominate in 2012.

NFC Divisional Playoff Preview: Packers vs. Giants

Everyone can agree that this Sunday's Packers vs. Giants game will be a battle. The Giants are playing the best football that they've played all season long and are coming off a win vs. the Atlanta Falcons in the wild card round of the playoffs. Then you have the Green Bay Packers. They are well-rested, they have key players returning from injuries, and they have home field advantage. Not to mention that they've dominated all season long. The Packers defense will undoubtedly have to work hard, but I think the Packers offense will end up having more stamina than the Giants offense. Perhaps this game will be as close as the last game between the Packers and Giants on December 4th. That game, played at the Meadowlands, was a little too close for comfort as the Packers barely won 38-35. Sunday's game will be a nail biter, but I think the Packers will win. This is the playoffs at Lambeau Field! The Packers always play well under such conditions. While the Giants may be tough, the Packers are tougher. Remember how the Giants lost 7 regular season games? The Packers only lost one. I think we will be seeing an NFC Championship game at Lambeau Field next Sunday.
