GREEN BAY (WGBA) -- The anticipation for this weekend's playoff game is high. Many people who live around Lambeau field are getting ready for the game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Homeowners and property managers are getting their homes ready to host fans from all over the county.

"We've seen fans come from all over the place," said Sean Brick, who managers her daughter's home. "It is a unique experience."

Brick's home is frequently rented on Airbnb. It is a popular thing around the stadium. However, prices for rent this weekend are several hundred dollars. Brick's home holds 13 people but is going for nearly $1200 per night.

"It is a special game day atmosphere," said Rhya Bleser from Stay Green Bay. "We want an experience different than a hotel. One where families come together for a fun day."

It is convenient, given the proximity to the stadium and the amenities. As far as the price, Bleser thinks the cost wont be that bad if it can be split with multiple people. Both her and Brick think it adds to a gameday experience that is already special.

"You have action in the backyard and in the front yard," Brick said. "Everywhere you go it's something fun."
