ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – Wisconsinites get one step closer to Packers’ football Thursday night.
The NFL unveils its 2017 regular season schedule at 7 pm.
Early leaks indicate the Packers will host the Seattle Seahawks Week One.
One person who is especially enthused by the full release is Lodge Kohler General Manager Dilan Van Ryn.
His facility plans to open in Ashwaubenon’s new Titletown District this July, making this fall their first football season in operation.
For the many fans who make the pilgrimage to Lambeau Field, Van Ryn says Lodge Kohler is the perfect place to both sleep and kickoff game day festivities.
“We’ll have terrace suites that will allow for guests to tailgate from their hotel rooms on game days.”
The facility offers 134 guest rooms and ten suites.
While prices for non-game days start at $170 per night for single occupancy and $195 for double, those minimum costs jump to $438 and $463 on Packers’ game days.
When the Green and Gold is in town, a minimum two-night stay is required.
The increased pricing applies to both the night before and night of the game.
When booking a stay, Van Ryn says fans have the option to buy “a game day package so that they can purchase tickets to the game with their hotel stay.”
He notes reservations through the end of 2017 are already being accepted.
Van Ryn says they will start taking 2018 bookings at an unspecified date in the near future, which could affect Week 17 and potential postseason games.
For those who don’t make the trip across the street, Van Ryn notes “we will have our ‘Tavern in the Sky’ restaurant and bar on the fifth floor with a cigar terrace that overlooks Lambeau Field.”
Lodge Kohler will also offer a panoramic restaurant, cafe, outdoor terrace, and full-service spa.
Game day reservations are only accepted by calling 888-4KOHLER (888-456-4537). Other dates can be booked via phone or by visiting https://www.lodgekohler.com/check-rates.
In addition to Lodge Kohler, Hinterland Brewery opened its Titletown facility last week. Bellin Health plans to begin operations this fall.
