Packers schedule release big for hotels

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday, April 15, 2009 - 9:16 a.m.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Some Green Bay area hotels added staff to handle a barrage of reservation calls that come with the release of the Packers' 2009 schedule.

Cambria Suites says the initial excitement about the season can be overwhelming. General manager Craig Bleier says the tough economy apparently isn't making a difference for those who support the green and gold.

The Hampton Inn says the Packers season makes its entire fourth quarter. The hotel's Lawry Larson says winter time in Green Bay isn't a huge draw, except for the Packers.

Larson says reservations for four or five games fill up right away, with the remaining home games lagging behind.

With the NFC North so weak I see 9-7 may be a wild card game then a loss.

I too am a Steelers fan, but second and I think they'll have another good season better home schedule. I hate having to go to Detroit on Thanksgiving.

Sorry to say for the packer fans, but hear is to another losing season. 6-10 is what I vote. Pretty tough schedule here for you guys keeping in mind you will be trying to learn the 3-4 defense.

GO STEELERS!!!! :)

I hear Favre is in talks with the Pack about returning for the 2009/10 season.
