Curly’s Stairway

I overheard a sad conversation the other day.  A man was telling the clerk at a convenience store how he was suffering from “Football Withdrawal.”  It’s an affliction affecting many people this time of year…especially those who live in the frozen tundra.  Although, for Packer’s fans, the onset was a little later this year, since the Packers got to play all the way to the Super Bowl.

In these parts, when you find yourself in the grip of Football Withdrawal you can make a trip to Lambeau Field – home of the World Champion Green Bay Packers.  It’s not a complete cure, but it eases the discomfort a bit.  There are a variety of historic images, activities, tours, Packers Hall of Fame, the Pro Shop and Curly’s Pub.

This is a view of the stairway leading to the second level of the Lambeau Atrium where Curly’s Pub is located. The guy in the picture is, of course, Curly Lambeau – the founder and first coach of the Packers and namesake of the stadium where they play.

There’s something about this photo that really appeals to me.  It’s one of my favorites. (Probably a beauty-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder kind of thing.)
