I'd advise starting a new thread, folks would jump in with advice. @CWood21 or @Packerraymond - can you help spin this question off?

You definitely should do a stadium tour and go to the HOF, all located within the atrium of Lambeau.

As far as what else there is to do in GB, really just eat and drink. I'd definitely walk around the parking lot before the game amongst the tailgaters, there will be plenty of drunk, jolly folks there willing to part with a beer and talk football. Other than that, it's really what you're interested in.

Beer and good food is a great start

Stadium Tour and HOF should be on the list. You can buy passes for both in the Atrium. Pro Shop is located there as well. Right outside the Atrium you'll see the Lombardi/Lambeau statues and the Lambeau Leap for good picture spots. 

Food wise, my go-to places are the Pancake Place for breakfast and Sammy's on Oneida St. for their pizza. Quite a few bars around there for entertainment on game day. Anduzzis and Stadium View are two good spots.

Head to Hinterland in the title town district. Go there for lunch before the game. That's my pre-game go-to.

If there is a lot of snow, like when I was a kid, you can save money on hotel rooms by just digging a tunnel in the huge piles of snow in the KMart parking lot.  Once you get a couple of feet into the mountain, it is out of the elements and is reasonably warm.  Don't hesitate to call the police on any kids that are sledding down those piles either.  Those little bastards have it coming! Even their parents agree, and won't pay the bail.

I wasn't sure if this was serious until I read the part about the sledding kids. When I was there 10 years ago, one kid drove straight into my wife, knocking her onto the sidewalk and breaking her femur. I was about to give them hell, but a pack of coyotes emerged out of nowhere and chased them all away. Enjoy your time in Green Bay.

I don't know how long you will be in the area, but if you are looking for activities for a different day, check out Door County.  Lots of cool hotels and bed and breakfasts up there.  Tons of great wineries to tour.  Laudenbach, Door Peninsula and Simon Creek to name a few.

Check out the Door County Trolley tours.  They have a ton of them and run different tours.  Lighthouse tours, Ghost Tours, Winery Tours, Supper Club tours.  They may even have sleigh rides going on right now.

Was there from Canada in 07. As someone else stated go take the stadium tour and the HOF tour. Go to any of he restaurants and make sure you tailgate somewhere get tickets for that at a local place or the parking lot. I believe there is much more to do there now around the stadium, take it in and enjoy. Met some wonderful WI folks while we were there and enjoyed them all.

When I drove cross country, I found there's little to do in GB for a tourist aside from what's been mentioned. But the stadium tour is very legit (although I was fortunate we went after the season had just ended - we were allowed to see more). And the HoF is excellent for Packers fans. 

If you like craft beer, micro breweries, and surprisingly good night life, Milwaukee is one of my favorite cities I've been to (for reference, I've lived in the Northeast and Southwest, and have traveled domestically in the past for work).

Just kidding. Probably just stay by Titletown District. That’s about all that’s distinct to Green Bay.

Weather is junk, otherwise there is bit more than just eat and drink (though not by much). 

 

Not sure where you're staying, but St Brendan's Inn has always been a good night out for me. A friend of mine owns The Landing in DePere, a sort of bar my wife calls a "gas hole" - bar next to a gas station. Get the loaded tots. Titletown District is a nice place to wander. Speaking of eating and drinking, never been to Hinterland but I hear it's good stuff, if a bit overpriced. Have been to Chefusion - you'll leave with a much lighter wallet but won't regret it. Local stuff is getting a burger at Kroll's. National Railroad Museum is - nerd alert - a terrific place to spend a few hours if you're doing more than an in-and out. 

 

I would advise against the Door Co recommendation - I'm sure there are decent places open in the winter, but it's not worth the effort; in the summer, however, it's fantastic, if a bit crowded. Fall might be the optimal time to visit.

Lambeau really hits in this weather. A shining temple in a vast tundra. It's what i assume people feel when they see great art or visit a religious monument. Make sure you have plenty of time just to wander the area before the game.
