The Green Bay Packers shocking 37-20 defeat on Sunday against the New York Giants, in the divisional round of the 2012 National Football League (NFL) playoffs, may have hurt Packers’ fans emotionally, but one fan, Peter Serafin, will have more regrets than just his team losing.
The avid Packers' fan and Wall Street businessman spent a humongous amount, $240,000, at a time when the American economy is under one of the worst recessions in history, on a road trip to the Lambeau Field to watch his beloved team, Green Bay Packers........
..............The Packers' fan travelled to Green Bay in a luxury caravan with five friends, who unluckily for Serafin were all New York Giants' fans, while also accompanied by two waitresses and the chief chef of the Old Homestead Steakhouse which had come up with the whole package.
The caravan was filled to the brim with food and drinks with 150 pounds of prime beef, 65 beef burgers, ten lobsters and 100 gallons of beer plus 26 bottles of champagne.
The six friends also had the best seats at the Lambeau Field which provided a full view of the action.
It all went horribly wrong for the Packers' fan as his high investment turned out to be nothing, as Aaron Rodgers and the Packers' offence failed to overcome a dogging New York Giants' defence turning over the ball frequently, and in the process, getting knocked out of playoff contention.
Serafin will now return to New York and the return trip will be a nightmare as his friends now have ample time to rag him on the way home.
Moreover, his wife will not be too pleased with Serafin missing their 28th wedding anniversary to go on such an expensive trip, leaving her alone at home.
The businessman will now think twice about making such a decision in the future.
