How early should you show up to make sure you get to your seats in time for a Texan's game? I have family coming from Dallas that are planning their trip down for the Packer's game this weekend.

I'd give yourself a half hour to get from your car to the seats.

This time of year I'd get there 2 hours early and hit up a sports bar around the corner and get my drink on before going in. Have fun, I'm going on Dec 16th on the lower section 3 rows up.

Did they get a parking pass with their tickets? We were in the yellow lot Sept 30th (it's behind the training facility). 30 mins would be enough if you keep a good pace but if you want to stroll and get something at the concession stand I would say 45. Bear in mind the closer to game time the worse traffic could potentially be.

If you won't be buying your tickets until you get there, I would definitely give yourself more time than an hour and a half. Especially for the packers game, which btw I hear tickets are going for $200 and they aren't even the greatest seats. Not sure if that is true or not, but sounds probable.

Ya'll are some slow walkers. I wouldn't get there any earlier than 15 minutes. No way should it take half an hour to walk from your car and into the stadium unless your crawling and for those saying an hour must have a lot of time to waste.

It's not the walking that is the problem, it's standing in line to buy your ticket if you don't already have one.
