Rams training camp
If anyone is a Rams fan or is interested in attending training camp and has never been to Milwaukee, let me know. I've lived there(as well as Chicago if anyone makes the trip from there too) and spent some time there and can point out some spots, festivals, places to stay, things to do, eats, etc...
In the past so many NFL teams have trained in Wisconsin, but all of them in small towns hours from a major metro. The Rams picked Milwaukee which pits them close to Green Bay(1hr 45 min drive North) and Chicago Bears(Lake Forest) 50 minute or so drive South, not to mention some others. Mequon is an upper middle class Milwaukee suburb 20 minutes North of downtown.
It's a very easy and doable weekend trip.
Football is king up there and there are Packer stories 365. Apparently over 50% of the locals participating in the online poll said they would come and check it out. Those people have always had to drive a ways to get to training camp or even Lambeaux.
Concordia University is the equaivalent of ...say...Maryville University in St. Louis.
