About

Hi! I’m Lindsey, a marketer, community-builder, and diehard NFL fan who says “Happy Game Day!” to everyone, home or away. I’ve spent years organizing game weekends for my family and fellow fans, learning what actually matters when you’re on the ground: safe, walkable places to stay, real pregame spots (not tourist traps), how to get to the stadium without stress, and what to pack so you’re warm, dry, and happy.


Happy Game Day Guide was born from that experience and from a belief that fandom should feel welcoming. I’ve seen how a kind word at a tailgate or a helpful tip about the light rail can turn a stranger into a friend. So this site blends inclusive fan culture with practical trip planning: clear city guides, checklists, and spreadsheets you can actually use, plus family-friendly itineraries and away-fan etiquette so everyone has a great day.


I’m a Minnesota Vikings season-ticket holder who has spent a decade building community and giving back, and I bring that same spirit here: helpful, positive, and real. You’ll find always-updated essentials for each NFL city: where to stay, how to get there, what to eat, what to wear and tools that make planning simple, whether it’s your first game or your fiftieth.
My promise: for the fans, by the fans. No fluff, no gatekeeping, just the best local tips, budget-smart options, and a warm welcome wherever you cheer. Dive into your city guide, grab a checklist, and if you need a hand, reach out. Happy Game Day!
