Written by the Pharaoh’s Transportation dispatch team
Quick answer: To get from Chicago to Lambeau Field for Bears vs Packers on Sunday, October 11 (3:25 p.m. Central kickoff), book a chauffeured Cadillac Escalade for up to 6 passengers or a Sprinter limo van for up to 14. Lambeau is roughly 200 miles and about 3.5 hours from downtown Chicago, so a full-day rental lets your group ride up together, tailgate, watch the game and ride home without anyone driving seven hours. Pharaoh’s Transportation picks up across Chicago, every Chicagoland suburb, Northwest Indiana, O’Hare and Midway, with chauffeurs who drive between Chicago and Wisconsin every day. Rivalry weekend vehicles are limited, so call 414-322-3751 to reserve.

Bears vs Packers at Lambeau: October 11 Details for Chicago Fans
The Bears and Packers have met since 1921, the longest-running rivalry in the NFL, and the trip north to Lambeau Field is a tradition for thousands of Chicago fans. It is also one of the longest game-day trips a Chicago fan can make, which is exactly why the transportation plan matters.
| Matchup | Chicago Bears at Green Bay Packers |
| Date and kickoff | Sunday, October 11, 3:25 p.m. Central, on FOX |
| Venue | Lambeau Field, 1265 Lombardi Ave, Green Bay, WI |
| Distance from downtown Chicago | About 200 miles |
| Drive time | About 3.5 hours in normal traffic, longer on game day |
| Typical route | I-94 north through Wisconsin, then I-43 or I-41 into Green Bay |
Always confirm the kickoff time on the official NFL or Packers schedule before game day, since game times can change.
Why Chicago Fans Hire a Chauffeur for the Lambeau Trip
Seven Hours Round Trip Behind the Wheel
A round trip from Chicago to Green Bay is about seven hours on the road before you add game-day traffic. Someone in your group has to stay alert for the whole drive home after a long day of tailgating and a late-afternoon game. With a professional chauffeur, nobody in your group drives.
I-94 and I-43 Game-Day Traffic Into Green Bay
Rivalry Sunday brings heavy traffic north on I-94 through Kenosha, Racine and Milwaukee, then into Green Bay on I-43 and I-41. The final approach around Lombardi Avenue slows down hours before kickoff. Our chauffeurs drive the Chicago-Wisconsin corridor every day and plan departure times around it.
Lambeau Parking and the Post-Game Exit
Lots near Lambeau fill early on marquee dates, and leaving after the game can take a long time. A chauffeured ride drops you off, waits through the game and meets your group at a planned pickup point when it ends.
One Group, One Vehicle, One Arrival
Instead of three cars, three drivers and three parking bills, your whole group rides in one Sprinter limo van or a pair of Escalades, arrives together and heads home together.
What Time to Leave Chicago for a 3:25 p.m. Kickoff at Lambeau

| Tailgate or pre-game | Late morning to about 2:30 p.m. | About 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. |
| Kickoff | 3:25 p.m. | 3:25 p.m. |
| Game ends and pickup | Early evening | Early evening |

How Chicago-to-Lambeau Full-Day Rentals Work
A Chicago-to-Lambeau game day is a full-day booking. Your chauffeur picks up your group, drives to Green Bay, stays with the vehicle during the game and drives everyone home. Sprinter limo vans carry a 5-hour minimum, and this trip runs far beyond it, so plan on a full-day reservation. Call 414-322-3751 for a quote based on your vehicle, group size and pickup address.
All-Day Limo Rentals, Hourly Chauffeurs and Group Charters From Chicago
Every group plans the Lambeau trip differently, so Pharaoh’s offers several ways to book.
All-Day Limo Rental for Game Day
The most popular option for Chicago groups. One Escalade or Sprinter limo van and one chauffeur stay with you from your morning pickup through the drive home, with no separate one-way legs to arrange.
Hourly Chauffeur Service
Want to add a brunch stop, pick up friends at several addresses or finish the night at a Chicago restaurant? Hourly chauffeur service lets you add stops and time as you go. Sprinter limo vans carry a 5-hour minimum, and a Lambeau trip easily exceeds it. See current hourly rates on our limo prices page.
Group Charters for Fan Clubs, Bars and Companies
Bears and Packers fan clubs, sports bars and companies often need more than one vehicle. Our limo charter service coordinates multiple Sprinters and SUVs, one dispatch contact and synchronized pickup and return times.
Private Chauffeur Service for Executives
For executives and VIP guests, our chauffeur service provides a late-model Escalade and a professional chauffeur for the whole day, with the discretion business travel requires.

Bears-Packers Weekend Trips: Overnight Stays and Multi-Day Rides

- Saturday: Chicago pickup, ride to your Wisconsin hotel, and an evening out in Milwaukee.
- Sunday: hotel to Lambeau for the tailgate and the game, then back to the hotel.
