Unfortunately, the game is on the NFL Network - a channel not received in many Badger State homes. As a result, Packer fans hate to do this, but they’ll have to hit the bars to watch the game.The JANESVILLE (WI) GAZETTE reports how local drinking establishments guzzle up big business when Green Bay gets Packed onto the NFL Network. For example, they’re expecting big crowds tonight at HHFFRRRGGH.

(We didn’t fall asleep on the keyboard, that’s the actual name of the bar. It’s really a perfect moniker, since that’s what you hear outside at closing time after an evening of downing Milwaukee’s Best.)But if HHFFRRRGGH is Packed in, the LACROSSE TRIBUNE has some other suggestions in order to enjoy the game:

The Rivoli Theater will be showing the showdown on the big screen, much like a Milwaukee cinema did for Badgers games on the Big Ten Network. However, the seats have been sold out for days.Still, you can always listen to the game on the radio, just like the olden days. Or if you’re desperate enough, head down to Texas Stadium and pick up a $1200 seat.
