NFL games have a very specific clear bag policy. You can buy a clear bag on amazon or you can put whatever you need in a gallon Ziploc. You can't carry a regular purse.

We have this one, I think:

I bought this for work/school last summer and it's awesome. Not too bulky, and lays flat when empty. Lightweight. Comfortable padded straps. No excessive buckles.

Are you specifically looking for something canvas?

All good questions!


-If you're coming up 43 from Milwaukee, I'd highly recommend visiting the USS Cobia in Manitowoc. It's the most intact submarine from WWII on the US and it's awesome. I'd also say you should stay there (you can actually stay overnight in the sub!) but it seems that it's full for Saturday 11/8. Definitely a unique experience. The tours are great as well.


-Depending on the quality of stay and the price you want to pay, staying an hour out would most likely be cheaper. Some of the hotels in GB/Ashwaubenon have been pretty heavily used and are also pretty expensive/hard to book for days around games. Manitowoc is about 45min out if you wanted to just end your Saturday there.


-I'll admit it might be a bit weird to have someone come up randomly to tailgate. However, if your dad brought his own stuff (grill, beer, food) and mosied on over to people near him, they would probably be okay with that. I usually enjoy meeting new people, but I can't speak for everyone. Make sure he is wearing some Packer gear and that he doesn't try to hang with some Bears fans (unless you're Bears fans, may God have mercy on your souls...). I kid, I kid.

Gates open about 2 hours before game time for the entire stadium usually. The Atrium is usually open about 4 hours before (and it's indoor, not bad in November). You don't need a ticket to get inside the Atrium usually, but once you've used a ticket get in, you have to stay inside the stadium; there is no re-entry. Here's a list of most questions you would need answers to.

-The camera: Per the guide above, as long as your lense is under 12" you should be fine. The bag will not be okay though. You'll need one of the clear 12x12x6 NFL bags. I have a few of these and they fit my DSLR. You'll just have to be a bit more careful than with your normal bag.


Hope this helps! Go Pack Go!


Edit: Link formatting. Also, I'll be at that game so I hope our offense has worked out the links by then!!

I prefer backpacks so I chose this High Sierra bag. I like that is has lots of pockets for organizing, room for baby's items and mine, and it wipes clean with a damp rag. Plus it has a 10 yr warranty.

Pistachio butter Would make a great unique gift.

One of Louis C. K.'s DVDs. All his DVDs are pretty cheap on Amazon.

Mets wallet

So much Licorice!

Fun book all about New York.

You're sweet to want to treat him to gifts. Happy early Birthday to your dad! I love shopping for others.

Edit to add coffee Community Coffee is made in New Orleans and living in South Louisiana it's the coffee king down here. Where I live there is a CC's coffee house on every corner like Starbucks in Seattle. I had to recommend this coffee to you for your dad. The Cafe El Special is the smoothest greatest coffee.

1. This wallet is the most expensive thing on my wishlist.
   
   
2. I really just loved it because it's beautiful and I adore Michael Kors.
   
   
3. I would be okay with that. I don't need to own expensive things. Sometimes, they're just pretty and make you feel good.
   
   Now I'll be singing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds all day long... & I'm okay with that.
   
   PS. I like this contest because it had me re-examine the things on my "expensive list"... the most expensive thing (above) is pretty but not really "useful" but my second most expensive is. Maybe I should re-think my priorities!

He doesn't remember what store it was, but here's an amazon link to them: http://www.amazon.com/Louis-Cardinals-4-Pack-Temporary-Tattoos/dp/B004S2K6HI

I carry a Timbuk2 ID money clip. It holds the four cards I need (credit, ATM, driver's license & health insurance card) and has a nice money clip on the other side.

It costs less than $20.

Echoing that it I absolutely prioritize comfort and practicality over fashion for luggage.

Right now I have a carry on 21" spinner (Delsey) I can't find the exact one but this one has more similar wheels which has turned out great. It's pretty much as big as I'll ever need -- I packed most of my clothes for college in it after expanding it. The construction seems great but I've only had it for a year.

For smaller bags I have this Nike gym bag that I primarily use for the gym but I've been known to toss it in the wash and take it with me on small trips (~4 days) because it's a free carry-on on Frontier.

Then I have a (normal school) backpack which tbh I use more than anything else. It's this Hershel backpack -- which I use as a personal item (I generally fly Southwest so I have the carry on + backpack). ETA: Maybe it's because I'm not actually fashionable IRL but I prefer to carry a backpack rather than a purse when travelling because I can carry stuff in it (let's be real I use this bag to carry my groceries at college) -- including a small camera, some snacks, my wallet, jacket, etc. I unexpectedly had to stay at a hostel recently (didn't pack light at all) and I'm probably paranoid but it gave me peace of mind to carry my passports, wallet, and a couple other valuables on my person rather than leave them in the room.

Be realistic on how much you want to invest in luggage. Depending on how much travel you do don't discount grabbing a cheap bag from Walmart/Target. When we were kids my parents just got us cheap bags knowing that they'd be abused. My Target bag lasted 10 years, my brother has one from Walmart that was $30 is 18+ years old and still is going strong (it's been on all family trips -- min of 4/year -- and to 8 band camps).

Notice me senpai!
These are usually awesome, I have a couple and they are good quality.
And an awesome Natsu Wallet

Thank you senpai!

Here's my album of things I've knitted, sewn, baked, and otherwise created. http://imgur.com/a/PpDds#7

Ring size 7.

The one item that would make my day would be this bag.

Safepocket "compact wallet"

First one made it 8 years of EDC until it was smashed by accident. Bought 2 more, should last me the rest of my life.

I saw this nes controller somewhere at a brick and mortar store like a decade ago and got it, still holding up better than I expected.

This backpack and this Headband are both super dumb because I can't even use them. I mean, who wants to be pretty or trendy, right? that's for losers and wannabees. And I am CERTAINLY not a loser or a wannabee. UGH!

I could really use one of these! It's my senior year of high school this year btw!

Or this phone case

back to cool

Thank you for the contest :D

Is this the same one?. I don't technically need a new wallet, but after seeing this post I need a new wallet.

> I guess my point was I don't think it's a good fit for someone who is very mobile with their system.

I don't see why a pants pocket is the only way to be considered "very mobile." When I have my 3DS with me all day, which is a few times a week, I carry it in one of these, along with everything else I might need at the time.
