LOMBARDI TIME
When you visit Lambeau Field, pull out your mobile phone and check the satellite
time. Now look at the stadium clock outside. That's no million-dollar construction

Vince Lombardi absolutely insisted that “on time' meant 15 minutes early. So here-

During training camp and on select game days, a cheery way to take in the Pack is
aboard the Legends of Lombardi Tour ($12) on a red double-decker bus imported from
England. It leaves from the Convention and Visitors Bureau (1901 S. Oneida St., across the
street from Lambeau Field, 920/494-9507 or 888/867-3342, www.greenbay.com ) .
