  • I'm voting for the new stadium in my city. Not because I'm a sports fan, but because I can't get enough of peeing in a trough.

    Loan Officer

  • I don't know much about stadiums, but I'll tell you what I do think: I know it's highly unorthodox to say this, but I really think the Pack might have what it takes to go all the way this year.

    Systems Analyst
