Wow always a tough crowd on this board.
Yes those party tents were accessible to everyone. Not just the stiffs that pay big bucks to WEEI like in Foxboro. You did get plenty of food and drink there.
I don't any problem with the benches. Never did in Foxboro either. I sat in a new section that had chairbacks though.
If you have been there and did not feel the energy around that stadium I don't know what to say. The people were friendly I was invited to (2) tailgate by people I just had met the night before. I tried chese curds for the first time. Had a brat too. The stores, restaurants and fan areas that were added to the stadium seamlessly. The entire place just took my breath away.
I would recommend reading this biography of Vince Lombardi. It gives alot of history on not just Vince, but the Packers and Green Bay too.
