Found this over at RTVW board, posted by Doogie:
just heard from a friend today who told me that TAR showed up in my hometown of Green Bay, WI! No, no, apparently they did not visit Lambeau Field. A friend of hers works at the Green Bay Wildlife Sanctuary and Amusement Park (link to the website is here: www.baybeachwildlife.com http://www.ci.green-bay.wi.us/geninfo/baybeach_web/baybeachhome.html).
Apparently this girl was really excited to work a Satuarday shift becuase her boss told her that the show would be filming in the Sanctuary that day. Now I don't know a specific date that this occurred on, but from talking with my friend I would think that it was in late July (either the 21st or 28th). Given that the press release fro casting stated that filiming was to occur June-August, I would say that this was a stop toward the finish line. I highly doubt the finish was in Wisconsin, maybe Chicago?
Take it for what it's worth. :angel:

Kogs, I have a different perspective since I flew in and out of Green bay decades ago. My favorite airline websites make it clear that it can be done today from Anchorage to Green Bay on July 27 or 28 to arrive 28th(I believe the 21st is way too early from what else I know):
depart Anchorage 7/27 2200 on AS180 arriving ORD (that's Chicago O'Hare for the uninitiated) 0655
depart ORD 0800 on AS455 (this is a code share, it's really some other airline flying it) arriving GRB 0900
This set of flights is totally in keeping with the stealth approach of AR12 and so would having the finish be in Green Bay Wisconsin be. the 28th is A Saturday morning, so traffic at O'Hare should be very light at that very early time. There are no major college football teams residing in Green Bay and the Packers do not play until Sunday so flights from O'Hare to Green Bay would probably be less than full.
For teams unable to make that 2200 departure but able to make one 3.5 hours later, there is this alternative:
depart Anchorage 7/28 0125 on NW4244 arriving SEA 0535
depart SEA 0700 on NW804 arriving MSP 1218
depart MSP 1250 on NW2072 arriving GRB 1405

The problem with that is that the filming in Alaska was on July 29th.

We know that the leg was filmed on July 29, 2007. (And since we also know that the race was completed no later than August 3 and probably a day or so earlier, that makes this one of the last possible legs.)

I have spoken personally with the Resident Manager of the Park (he lives on site).
He does recall that a local TV station called asking for permission to shoot some PR shots at that time, but because the weather was so awful that day, they did not come.
He was on site on both July 21 and July 28 and he would have known if there had been any filming going on.
And remember--they were filming in Alaska on July 29th.
