Lambeau Field, home to the Green Bay Packers, is located in the center of Green Bay, Wisconsin, where it has stood since opening in 1957. It currently holds distinctions as the longest continuously-operated home field in the NFL, the second-oldest stadium used in the league and third-greatest active home game hosting streak across all American professional sports.

Throughout its lengthy existence, the 81,441-seat facility has undergone several renovations and expansions to become one of the largest stadiums in the league, yet it has maintained many time-honored traditions, including the “Lambeau Leap,” a Packers touchdown celebration that sees the scoring player jump into the endzone stands to be among their adoring “Cheesehead” fanbase. The interior façade is lined with the names of esteemed past members of the Packers organization, while two bronze statues of Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi and team founder Earl “Curly” Lambeau stand in the stadium’s exterior plaza.

Housing the league’s winningest regular season team, Lambeau Field has presided over several notable playoff runs for the Packers, most recently a Super Bowl win in 2011. The Midwestern open-air stadium, also known as “The Frozen Tundra,” has been the site of several historic NFL games, including the 1967 Championship Game Bowl, referred to as the “Ice Bowl” due its still-standing league record as the coldest game ever played with an average wind chill of -48 degrees Fahrenheit, and the 1985 “Snow Bowl,” which dumped 16 inches of snow on Lambeau Field ahead of a Packers victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The address for Lambeau Field is 1265 Lombardi Avenue, which honors the Packers’ five-time NFL Championship-winning head coach Vince Lombardi. He has also been the namesake of the Super Bowl’s Vince Lombardi Trophy since his death in 1970.

Lambeau Field History

Lambeau Field is one of the most historic stadiums in the NFL. Built in 1957 as City Stadium, Lambeau Field holds the distinction as the oldest stadium originally constructed for the NFL. Home to the Green Bay Packers, Lambeau Field has seen several renovations and expansions through its more than 65 years of operation. Originally, Lambeau Field had a capacity of 32,000. The first expansion was in 1961 when the capacity was upgraded to 38,669. The capacity was again increased, this time to 42,327, in 1963 and again in 1965 to approximately 50,837. City Stadium, nicknamed “New City Stadium,” was renamed to Lambeau Field in August 1965, two months after player and long-time coach Earl Lambeau died. In 1985, Lambeau Field was expanded again, adding 72 luxury suites and additional seating, making the total capacity 56,000. Throughout the next 10 years, Lambeau Field added more than 150 extra suites, 1,900 club seats and a video board. A massive renovation took palce in 2001, adding an expanded concourse, a new upper concourse, extra bathrooms and almost 12,000 extra seats along the top of the stadium named “Titletown.”

This 2001–2003 renovation also included a new Packers locker room, a team store, a Packers operation and administrative facility. A Packers Hall of Fame, opened in 2015, gives fans the opportunity to check out historic team memorabilia, hear famous Packers recount historic franchise moments in their own words, and learn more about Green Bay teams past and present in engaging interactive exhibits. The team’s 13 championship trophies are on display and fans can even check out a replica of legendary coach Vince Lombardi’s office.

Lambeau Field was again renovated in 2013, adding 7,000 more seats and a rooftop view platform in the north end zone, bringing the capacity to more than 80,000. Lambeau Field continues to renovate to this day, keeping up with technological trends by updating concession stands and video boards to give guests the premium stadium experience.

Beyond hosting every Green Bay Packers home game, Lambeau Field puts on unforgettable events across sports and entertainment. Headline music acts like Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown Band, and Billy Joel have used the space to put on memorable concerts.
