Why Lambeau Field Works

1. I don’t consider Soldier Field to be the oldest nfl stadium, too many changes were made. 2. When I say 2 Super Bowl wins i say since 1992, not all time.

Other football stadiums feel like entertainment venues. Lambeau field feels like a football haven. You gotta visit to truly understand.

crazy to think that if they had a "normal" owner like the rest of the nfl, the packers would have relocated a loooong time ago.

I don’t care what team you’re a fan of, Lambeau Field is a bucket list destination for a game or just the tour.

On the point about the fan base not being just Green Bay. Wisconsin has a lot of little cities and towns within a couple hours of green Bay, closer than Milwaukee, that add up to a few million people. Think Appleton, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac, etc.

And the entire state of Wisconsin watched this video and collectively said, "DUH!"

Green Bay: Upgrades old stadium with modern amenities while maintaining a pleasing retro aesthetic. Chicago: Turn historic stadium into a giant post-modern toilet bowl

I live a mile and a half away from Lambeau. Its an amazing place. The best part is during the summer, traffic basically stops. No one is on the streets so its super quiet. If you sit outside you can hear the stadium cheering, it's a roar that just fills the air.

Even if you can't get to a game, take the tour. What a special experience. All the tour guides are fantastic.

It is my understanding that the seating in Lambeau can't be done elsewhere due to code, accessibility, etc. It has been grandfathered in all these years. That's why the bowl has never been touched. If you touch it, you have to update it per code. Not touching the bowl results in more fans that are closer to the field without needing to go to a second deck - which would greatly reduces site lines. A visiting owner was sitting in the press box and asked if they had magnifying glass for windows because he couldn't believe how close to the field they were compared to other stadiums. It's the bowl and benches that make Lambeau

As a Brit, living in London, I think I am quite rare in A) having watched a Bills/ Packers home game at County Stadium, Milwaukee and B) Missed watching the 'local derby' Chicago v Green Bay. A New Berlin mate of mine and I drove up to Green Bay from Waukasha - where I was on a course - to watch the game, despite having no tickets. We tried to buy them in Green Bay before the game, but we couldn't even buy "scalpers" tickets, at any price. As we trudged sadly back into the parking lot, we passed dozens of fans with their barbeques and beers. As we passed between two trucks parked close back to back with a generator and a massive television, it was clear they had no intention of going in anyway. They were there for the cook out and, to my amazement, they took pity and invited us to join then. It was a great game, I think the Packers beat the Bears and I was frozen to the core for the 100 mile drive back to Waukasha, but it was one of those experiences of America that made me love the place. Sadly, America has changed a lot since then and, despite my son and his partner now living there (in Texas) I am not so keen to go back soon. I still follow NFL football though and my teams, inevitably, are Green Bay and Dallas.

I wish more teams had their ownership model.

I live in Green Bay, and last summer I worked at Titletown Park, which is the main attraction of the Titletown District. There are a couple other things about Lambeau's location that make it unique. First, it's located in a suburb, not downtown GB, so it isn't swallowed up by a city skyline. Like you said, many fans are from Milwaukee, and driving up from Milwaukee, you have to cross the Fox River which separates the two sides of GB. On the bridge that crosses the river, the giant G on the stadium faces you as you drive across, even though you're still a few miles out. Seeing the stadium all lit up as you approach it really helps make the traffic on the bridge much more bearable! The part about "surge pricing at hotels" is also really interesting, as a lot of the lodging near Lambeau is locally owned, not part of a franchise, and football profits have allowed these businesses to stay competitive.

Lambeau is so serene and elegant compared to a lot of the new stadiums. I can't get over how ugly soldier field is now. Lambeau is as timeless as the Roman coleseum

The real reason why the packers played down in Milwaukee was cuz they wanted to grow a fan base down in Milwaukee

Lambeau isn't just a stadium, it is hallowed NFL ground.

"The Frozen Tundra" "Ice Bowl" One of them legendary stadia !

Green Bay is called TITLETOWN because the Packers have (13), THIRTEEN NFL Championship Titles, more than ANY other team in history. Many teams have a trophy case, Lambeau has a Trophy Room with 13 Trophies, 4 of which are Lombardi Trophies. Every game at Lambeau is a piece of history.

There's a lot of packer fans out here in Wyoming! Go pack Go. I've been to four games at Lambeau.
