Packers vs. Panthers at a glance
| Detail | What to know |
|---|---|
| Game | Carolina Panthers at Green Bay Packers |
| When | Thursday, Oct. 29, 7:15 p.m. Central |
| Where | Lambeau Field, Green Bay |
| TV | Prime Video (Thursday Night Football) |
| Game ends | Usually around 10:30 p.m. |
| Weather | A late-October night game in Green Bay: plan for cold |
A weeknight game means leaving work early, a late finish and a two- to four-hour drive home. That is the trip a chauffeur is built for.
Going to Lambeau Thursday?
Tell us your group size and pickup point. Sprinters and SUVs book up first for night games.
Why this game is worth the trip
Green Bay comes in at 4-3 and Carolina at 3-3, so both teams need the win heading into November. A Thursday night game at Lambeau has its own feel: the lights, the cold, a national audience and a crowd that fills the parking lots by mid-afternoon. It is also one of the hardest games to get to and home from, because it falls on a workday and ends late. That is why groups book a vehicle instead of splitting up across several cars.
From Madison and the rest of southern Wisconsin
Madison fans can ride too: the drive to Lambeau is about 2 hours 15 minutes, so plan a pickup around 1:15 p.m. to tailgate or 3:15 p.m. for kickoff. We also pick up in Racine, Kenosha, Waukesha, Lake Country and Ozaukee County. For a group spread across several towns, we can plan two pickups on the way north. See Madison limo service.
The ride home: multiple drop-offs and Friday flights
After a night game, most groups want one thing: to get home without thinking about it. Tell us every drop-off address when you book and the chauffeur plans the route so each person is dropped at their own door. If anyone has a Friday morning flight, we can drop them at an MKE or O’Hare hotel instead of home, or come back for the airport run the next morning with a fresh chauffeur. Snacks, water and phone chargers on the way home help the two hours pass quickly.
Sprinter or luxury SUV: which fits your group
| Group | Vehicle | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 6 | Chevy Suburban or Cadillac Escalade | Private, quiet ride; room for coats, blankets and a cooler |
| 7 to 13 | Executive Sprinter | Limo-style seating for a client night or a group of friends |
| Up to 15 | Mercedes-Benz Sprinter | Everyone together both ways |
| Up to 14 with lots of gear | Ford Transit van | Tailgate supplies and bags |
See Sprinter limo service, the Executive Sprinter and luxury SUVs.
Got 10 or more?
One Sprinter for the whole group, Milwaukee to Lambeau and back.
When to leave for a 7:15 p.m. kickoff
| Pickup area | Drive to Lambeau (about) | Leave by (to tailgate) | Leave by (kickoff only) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milwaukee and North Shore | 2 hours | 1:30 p.m. | 3:30 p.m. |
| Waukesha and Lake Country | 2 hours 15 min | 1:15 p.m. | 3:15 p.m. |
| Racine and Kenosha | 2 hours 45 min | 12:45 p.m. | 2:45 p.m. |
| O’Hare | 3 hours 15 min | 12:15 p.m. | 2:15 p.m. |
| Downtown Chicago | 3 hours 30 min | 12:00 p.m. | 2:00 p.m. |
Thursday afternoon traffic leaving Milwaukee and Chicago is heavier than on a Sunday, and game traffic builds near Green Bay in the last hour. Dispatch confirms your pickup time with you.
Fans flying in: MKE and O’Hare
Carolina fans and out-of-town Packers fans can fly into MKE or O’Hare on Thursday and ride straight to Lambeau. We track the flight, meet you at the airport, and drive to Green Bay; after the game we take you to your Milwaukee hotel, back to Chicago, or to the airport for a Friday morning flight. O’Hare pickups are driven by City of Chicago-licensed affiliate chauffeurs. See airport transportation and Milwaukee to O’Hare car service.
Drop-off, the game and the ride home
Your chauffeur drops you as close to Lambeau as game-day traffic allows and texts you the pickup spot before you walk in. Bring a clear bag; the NFL clear-bag policy applies. After the final whistle, walk to the pickup spot rather than waiting at the gate, and the vehicle is warm and ready. No one has to stay sober to drive, and no one has to make the late drive home. For general tips, see our guides to Packers night games at Lambeau and Lambeau parking vs. a car service.
How game-day pricing works
| Booking | How it is priced |
|---|---|
| Luxury SUV round trip | By the hour for the full day; SUV $199 an hour, premium SUV $225, 3-hour minimum |
| Sprinter round trip | By the hour for the full day; $249 an hour |
| Tax and gratuity | Added; listed on your quote |
| Tolls and parking | Added when they apply |
A Milwaukee round trip to a night game usually runs 9 to 10 hours of vehicle time. Split across a full Sprinter, that is often less per person than gas, game-day parking and a hotel. See limo prices.
Who books this game, and the plan for each
| Your group | Best vehicle | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Friends and coworkers (8 to 15) | Mercedes-Benz Sprinter | Leave Milwaukee around 1:30 p.m., tailgate, ride home together; split one booking |
| Couple or family (2 to 6) | Cadillac Escalade or Chevy Suburban | Leave mid-afternoon, dinner before the game, drop-off at your door after |
| Company hosting clients | Executive Sprinter or two SUVs | Pickup at the office or a downtown hotel; one invoice to a corporate account |
| Bachelor or birthday group | Sprinter | Tailgate, the game and the ride home, with no one driving |
| Fans flying in for the game | SUV from MKE or O’Hare | Airport to Lambeau, then back to a hotel or the airport |
| Carolina fans in Chicago | SUV or Sprinter from downtown Chicago | Leave around noon; home to your Chicago hotel around 2 to 2:30 a.m. |
A sample game day from Milwaukee
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1:30 p.m. | Chauffeur picks up your group in Milwaukee; coolers and chairs loaded |
| 3:30 p.m. | Arrive at the tailgate area near Lambeau |
| 5:15 p.m. | Gates open; walk in early to avoid the line |
| 7:15 p.m. | Kickoff |

Confirm the exact gate time on the team’s website; it is usually about two hours before kickoff. Your chauffeur adjusts the pickup if the game runs long.
Driving yourself vs. a chauffeur on a Thursday night
| Driving yourself | Pharaoh’s Sprinter or SUV | |
