Chris Berman deemed the game: The Roaster in the Toaster..haha just passing it along :D

I live in Washington, and I have to say, if there was one game in history I would want to be apart of the crowd, it would be this one...

Who all was there?

Where did you sit?

What was your experience?

How was the Packer faithful?

Was it the greatest ingame experience of your life?

Thanks a million to all those who attended the game, and thank you for helping to defend the nest!!

section 103


What was your experience?
Insane. Crowd was so loud throughout. My head is throbbing from yelling so much, my voice is gone and my feet are dead from standing up nearly the entire game. The lower level sat down maybe ONCE the entire game. It was crazy to say the least.



How was the Packer faithful?
Not very loud for the most part. Had their moments, but they weren't worth mentioning and it wasn't close to 50/50 like the Wisconsin papers were anticipating. 75/25...maybe even 80/20. I wasn't that impressed. My section seemed like it didnt have many.

Was it the greatest ingame experience of your life?
Yea, personally...idk if those who went to the NFCCG last year could say the same, though. That game took us to the Super Bowl



What a game. The crowd erupted to a level in which I've never heard when Dansby scored...everyone was jumping all over the place.

Section 406

My experience was great. I am exhausted and I have no voice. Totally freaking worth it!!!

Thankfully, there weren't too many Packers near me. Everyone in my "high five vicinity" were Cardinals fans. That always helps. The Packer fans were quiet all game until they started coming back. Then we heard the stupid GO PACK GO cheer. Most of us would just say GO BACK HOME to drown 'em out. On the way out of the stadium, a large group of Cards fans were chanting GO BACK HOME. It was great :)

This ranks up there with one of the best games I've gone to, maybe second to the Philly game last year. Last year was just unbelievable.

All in all, a great game. If I ever say I'm not going to buy playoff tix cuz I can't afford it, don't listen to me. I will ALWAYS get playoff tix!!!!!

I was there section 104. It was a great experience, not as great as the NFC Championship just because of what was at stake but great anyway...right up there with SDS against the Chargers in '98.

Packer faithful where there but not much of a factor.

Section 102, Row 12.

Been a season ticket hold now for 8 years. Been to tons of Jets & Giants games at The Meadowlands, and many other NFL games across the country. Today was simply amazing. Some doubt that it was as loud as the Falcon playoff game last year... I'm not so sure about that. I'm simply speechless...

As for the Packer Fans, well, it was beyond description to be able to slam their asses back to Green Bay! I had about 10-12 sitting scatter throughout my section. 4 were pretty close by. At the start of the game, they were extremely cocky! But after DRC interception, they quickly shut up and stayed that way for most of the game. And for the record, while some idiots predicted 25k-30k Packer fans would be in attendance, I would say that there was no more that 10,000. BIG RED DOMINATED!

I don't think there were even 10,000. I was sitting in 133 (row 2 on the visitors side, 15 yard line) and it looked like the other side was all red. There were some packer fans on my side but I couldn't tell how many. It seemed like people sold there tickets to the 'meaningless' game last week and came to this one.

Lots of fun, and of course I have no voice.

It was a privilege to be at this game. I am so spent I'm glad we are on the road next week. I don't think I could survive another one so soon.

Sec 414 row 17

I had so much adrenaline pumping through my veins, I was unstoppable. I was harassing some punk Packer fan trying to talk smack around the hundreds of Cards fans all around him. He got so scared after about 5 minutes of me ragging on him, he didnt look at me the rest of the game. But, I got the rest of the section ragging on him too. It was great. Naturally, he sprinted out as soon as they lost. Usually I am more classy than that, but I couldn't help myself. He had no humility. I noticed that the elder Packer fans are more humble and easier to talk to than the younger, less mature ones.

The Fitz TD in the Superbowl was the greatest in game play i've ever seen. But the last play was up there with the top plays in AZ Cards history.

I tried to bring the house down by myself, and Im going to suffer for the rest of the week. I cannot talk and my throat feels like its bleeding. But all things considered, I wouldnt trade it for the world.

We never sat. Instead we walked the lower bowl concourse following the action.

Sec. 450

Section 450 row 7

What was your experience?

words can not describe. insane. on the final play i was celebrating a sack, turning around giving high 5's. then I saw their eyes get big, I turn around and I see the Dirty Bird running into the endzone. After that I don't remember haha

How was the Packer faithful?

they used to be regarded highly in my book. no more. white trash, and the wife of the guy in front of me needs to be on the next casting for Flavor of Love on VH1. she would raise ratings with her fighting....

Was it the greatest ingame experience of your life?

could be. it was insane.

Don't think that was me but I gave them a derisive Go Pack Go all the way out the stadium.

If you've ever been to Lambeau Field you'd get sick of that chant and the damn music that accompanies it.

Section 110.

Absolutely insane. There were 2 sets of Pack fans near us, but overwhelmingly Cards fans. The cheeseheads were getting pretty confident when they won the toss.

I don't think I moved for 10 minutes after the Dansby touchdown. My husband asked, 'what's wrong', and I told him I was sure there had to be a flag, a booth review, something. I hugged people I've never met in my life, high-fived strangers in passing, and couldn't stop grinning all night.

I'm hoarse, light-headed, and can't think after 2 cups of coffee.

That may well be the game of the decade.

Section 440, just got back home today and still have no voice none nada. And some jerk in the airport was already running the excuses out. My wife told him yep we totally agree the refs gave us the game, and we love when people make excuses cuz that means WE WOM BABY. I tried to LOL but it sounded like a growl.

Sec 427 Row A

I was also at the triple overtime game between the Chiefs and Dolphins at municiple stadium in Kansas City. So I have attended two of the most memorable games in NFL history.

What is even more interesting is the Chiefs Jon Steinarud(sp) and the Dolphins Yapriemean (SP) both also missed chip shots field goals that would have won the game.

Yes I still want Rackers on my team.

Wow !!!!! Thanks to all of you who responded to this thread. Those of us who watched from home saw very little yellow in the stands. It truly was a sea of red. Thanks again for your recollections of of the events as they occurred. I hope that you all are able to have memories that will last a lifetime from this game. You have earned it.

Section 117, row 6.

Game was amazing. Some smelly (really, really smelled horrid) Packer fan was in the row in front of us--which was actually quite distracting. Other than that, it was awesome. If any of you saw the couple with the cheese-grater heads (hats) on, they were a section or two over from us. LOVED IT.

It was insanely loud in there; I think as loud as it's ever been.

Wow, it was insane! I had no voice and my feet hurt from standing all game. I'd say Packer fans were about 20% and they were pretty cocky at first, but didn't have much to cheer about. :)

We had near us a Nacho Cardinal (in a mexican wrestling mask) with his sign "Go Pack Fudge" who was a big hit.

I still think the Atlanta game last year was louder, and the Eagles game ranks #1, so this one was prolly #3.

The Chargers game at SDS in 1998 ranks #4.

Awesome, though I missed most of the second quarter due to an eye issue. :( Like most, I have no voice. People at work keep asking me if I'm sick. I tell them I went to the Cards game. They say "awesome!"

How was the Packer faithful?
I sit in scalper section central, so I had four Packer fans to my right, four to my left and a bunch in the row behind me. (Am looking to move seats next season.) The older ladies behind me seemd a little put off that I was yelling, standing and waving my towel (well, I did kinda hit one in the head with it once), but were quiet for the most part as were all the fans. Of course, this changed when they started coming back. They were pretty nice though, not rude or anything.

Was it the greatest ingame experience of your life?
Definitely the NFC Championship game against the Eagles. This last game was awesome, but nothing save for winning the Super Bowl, will ever compare to that.

40 yard line, home side, lower level

no voice left

pack fans only got loud once, when their team was pumping them up. they were a smaller contingent than expected.

we were LOUD

had to drive back to cali after the game (post-great-lawn-victory-cards-cake - a playoff tradition in our family) - that was brutal (but not as brutal as would have been the case had we lost).

exhausted.

beat the AINTS!
