Moving to Green Bay with dogs. Looking for the best off-leash spots.

I’m likely moving to the Green Bay area for work in the next couple of months, and one of my biggest priorities is finding places where my dogs can really enjoy themselves.
Back home, I take them on hikes and to open areas where they can safely run and explore off leash. I’m not just looking for fenced dog parks. I’m curious if there are any large parks, trails, public land, beaches, or other dog-friendly spots where people commonly let their dogs run (where it’s legal and safe).
I’d also love to hear what it’s like owning dogs in the area in general. Are there any hidden gems, favorite hiking trails, swimming spots, or must-visit places for dog owners?
The dogs will probably be happier with the move than I am, so I’m trying to make sure they have plenty to explore. Humans are surprisingly adaptable. Dogs tend to expect you to maintain your standards.

Green Bay homeowners: What are your monthly utilities on a 1,000–1,500 sq ft house?

I’m considering relocating to the Green Bay area and I’m trying to build a realistic monthly budget.
If you own a house that’s roughly 1,000–1,500 sq ft, would you mind sharing:
Electric
Natural gas
Water/sewer
Trash
Internet
Anything else I’m forgetting
If you don’t mind, it’d also help to know:
Approximate square footage
Whether it’s an older or newer home
How many people live there
Whether you keep the house pretty warm in the winter or cooler
I’m looking for real-world averages rather than perfect numbers. Thanks!

Seasons Has 700+ Teams… So Why Am I Always Playing Real Madrid or France?

I actually love Seasons. I think it’s the best mode in FC 26. The divisions, trophies, cups, promotion, relegation… every match feels like it actually matters.
But holy hell, I’m so tired of playing against Mbappé.
I’ve made it to Division 1 without using him once. I took Celtic all the way to Division 3 before finally switching to Bayern because it got to the point where I needed a stronger squad just to stay competitive.
Meanwhile, every other loading screen is either Real Madrid or France. There are 700+ clubs and national teams in this game, yet somehow half the player base acts like EA only licensed those two.
I honestly think once you reach Division 3, maybe even Division 4, Seasons should lock everyone to four-star teams. Make people actually learn different squads instead of relying on the same overpowered player every single match.
I don’t even care about losing. I just want some variety. At this point, I’d rather play Argentina with Messi 100 games in a row than play Real Madrid and France over and over and over. At least it would be something different.
Seasons is an awesome mode. It’s just exhausting seeing the same two teams every other match. There are hundreds of clubs in this game, but somehow every road to Division 1 feels like you’re stuck in Groundhog Day playing Mbappé on repeat.

Considering a move from West Virginia to Green Bay. Looking for honest opinions.

Hey everyone,
I’m from West Virginia and may have an opportunity to move to the Green Bay area for work. I’m a Packers fan, so that’s definitely a bonus, but outside of that I honestly don’t know much about the area. I’d love to hear from people who actually live there.
Overall, do you like living in Green Bay? If you had the chance to do it over again, would you still move there?
A few things I’m curious about:
How are the taxes? Do you feel like they’re reasonable for what you get?
What’s the cost of living really like?
How’s the job market and local economy?
Are people generally friendly and welcoming to newcomers?
Besides the cold winters, what are the biggest downsides?
What’s something you didn’t expect until you actually lived there?
Is there plenty to do if you enjoy the outdoors, hiking, breweries, sporting events, and taking your dogs out?
Is it a good place to eventually buy a home and settle down?
I’m in my mid-to-late 30s and looking for somewhere that’s a good long-term place to live, not just somewhere to spend a couple of years.
I’d appreciate any honest opinions, advice, or things you think someone moving there should know. Thanks!
