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.

Three UW-Madison students just wanted to throw a post-game party. Now they face $86,000 in fines.One of the three, Travis W. Ludy, says the fines — which authorities said were higher than any others in memory for just three people in one incident — are out of proportion."We should definitely get a fine, but I think $30,000 each is by far excessive," said Ludy, a 21-year-old junior from Sun Prairie who is majoring in sociology. "I mean we're college students — not one of us has that kind of money, and putting us in debt like that or forcing us to go in jail because we can't afford to pay it I think is extremely unfair for something that happens every weekend around here."Madison police say Ludy and his roommates could have gotten off with a smaller fine if they hadn't locked the doors, turned off the music and switched off the lights when officers arrived around 11:30 p.m., a few hours after the Badger football win over San Jose State on Sept. 11.
