Looking for a great place to watch the Packers game on Sunday?

You could go to any one of the thousands of sports bars, pizza joints and buffalo wing chains from Green Bay to Dubai, but only one restaurant can claim one of the team's stars -- Nelson's Landing.

You may have heard of Alan and Kim Nelson's middle son, Jordy. The Packers wide receiver got on the map last year, grabbing the first touchdown of Super Bowl XLV, and has cruised into the spotlight this season. He led the Packers with 68 receptions, 1,263 yards and 15 touchdowns.

But Jordy's roots are humble to be sure. Long before the Nelsons opened up their restaurant just off of U.S. Highway 24 in Leonardville, Kan., they made ends meet by farming. They raise Black Angus beef and grow everything from corn to alfalfa to wheat and beans.

"It was a lot of work, time-consuming, took a lot of discipline," the 26-year old Jordy says of helping out in the family business, "but I think it made me a better person in the long haul."

Jordy walked on at Kansas State, just 25 miles from where he grew up in Leonardville. He would walk off as one of the most decorated receivers in not just school, but conference history. As he waited to find out where he'd be playing in the NFL, Jordy pitched in at the family restaurant.

"I did everything. I was in the kitchen every once in a while," he says. "I was waiting on tables, working behind the bar a little bit, wherever we needed help."

Opened in 2007, Nelson's Landing serves up sandwiches, burgers, steak and brisket. They also have gameday favorites from boneless wings to loaded nachos. Anyone with an extra $5.59 and taste for adventure can even order up a plate of fried gizzards.

Jordy said it was a family decision to open the restaurant and offer something unique for their neighbors.

"We thought it would be worth it for the town, the community to really have a nice place to sit down and have dinner," he says, "or for the farmers to sneak in and have a quick lunch."

Jordy and his wife, Emily, live in Green Bay, but they get back to the small town with a population of less than 500 every now and then. Before last season, Jordy even brought some of the other Packers wide receivers with him and they had quite an experience.

"We had a blast acting the fool. We did farming things," Greg Jennings told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "We got to see how they artificially inseminate cows. We actually did it. You've got to stick your hand in there. It was nice and warm."

Fear not, Packers fans. At Jordy Nelson's family restaurant, all you have to do is eat.

A former child care center along Lombardi Avenue could become the newest party house for Green Bay Packers fans passing through town on a weekend.

Some neighbors have voiced concerns about what would become the fifth such rental property licensed by the city to operate near Lambeau Field.

But property owner Debbie Jacques promises to keep an eye on her football-loving customers from a particularly close vantage point: next door.

Jacques lives in the duplex at 1839-1845 S. Oneida St., and she has transformed half of the property into a green-and-gold party pad that Packers fans can rent for $2,500 a weekend.

"I just thought it was a great idea," said Jacques, who modeled her renovation on other party houses in the neighborhood.

Armed with a healthy financial portfolio and sky-high fan interest in the defending Super Bowl champions, the Green Bay Packers said Thursday they would move ahead with plans to add approximately 6,600 seats in a revamped south end zone at Lambeau Field and add a gate and rooftop viewing platform in the north end zone.

And for those who have always wanted to be an owner of a professional football team, the Packers say they may hold another stock sale, the fifth in the history of the franchise. As always, the stock is worthless, but it gives any fan bragging rights.

The entire project will cost an estimated $143 million.

Two new video boards and the work on the north end zone should be done in time for the 2012 season. The entire project should be ready for the beginning of the 2013 football season, team officials said Thursday at a news conference at Lambeau Field.

Better yet, Mark Murphy, the Packers' president and CEO, and Jason Wied, vice president of administration, said the team would not ask for public tax money to pay for it. That is a departure from 2003, when Brown County residents agreed to pay a 0.5% sales tax as part of the financing for the $295.2 million Lambeau makeover.

When the Green Bay Packers visited the White House on Friday to celebrate the team's Super Bowl title, linebacker Desmond Bishop wasn't with his teammates. He had forgotten his license on the team charter plane and without a license, there's no getting past White House security.

The fifth-year veteran Tweeted about his disappointment while the Packers were at a South Lawn reception with President Barack Obama:

Just found some extra motivation tweeples. I forgot my id on plane so won't get access to see @barackobama .. This time! But next year ;)

Tho dissapointed, i ll live vicariously thru my fellow Teammates.. Nap time.. As jack reacher wud say "sleep wen u can.."
