GREEN BAY, Wis.
July 25, 2005
GREEN BAY, Wis. (July 25, 2005) –
Beginning this weekend, Green Bay Packers
fans of all ages can take part in the Legends
of Lombardi Avenue™ tour, highlighting
the history of one of America’s most
revered NFL teams while aboard an authentic
London double-decker bus.
The 75-minute guided tour, offered by the
Packer Country Visitor and Convention Bureau,
takes fans down memory lane – past
famous sights of yesteryear as well as Packers
hotspots of today. In addition to charming
childhood stories, anecdotes and practical
jokes of early Green Bay legends and modern
day superstars, the tour includes historical
sites such as Old City Stadium, Hagemeister
Park, Curly Lambeau’s childhood home,
and much more.
On top of the rich football history of
the tour, participants also enjoy the unique
experience of riding aboard the Regency
Redline – a bright red, 1967 London
double-decker bus – as they travel
through the Green Bay area. Prior to its
arrival in Green Bay last fall, the Regency
Redline ran routes to noted places such
as Picadilly Circus, Oxford Circus, Trafalgar
Square, and the Marble Arch.
“Not only is the Legends of Lombardi
Avenue tour unique in itself, but the added
element of the Regency Redline truly makes
the experience one-of-a-kind”, said
Katie Green, Packer Country Visitor &
Convention Bureau Director of Marketing.
Fans, young and old, will enjoy their travels
around Green Bay aboard the double-decker
bus while learning history and hearing little-known
stories about the home team and its legendary
players.
