Lambeau FieldAbout Lambeau Field
Lambeau Field is the home stadium of the NFL’s Green Bay Packers, located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Opened in 1957 as New City Stadium, it was renamed Lambeau Field in 1965 in honor of team founder Curly Lambeau.
The venue seats over 80,000 spectators after multiple expansions and renovations and hosts regular season football games, concerts and large events. On-site attractions include the Packers Hall of Fame and the adjacent Titletown district with dining and public spaces.
Built to replace the original City Stadium, the facility has undergone major upgrades to seating, concourses and amenities in successive renovation campaigns from the 1960s to the early 21st century while remaining the Green Bay Packers’ long-term home. Its profile is closely tied to Packers history, community ownership and NFL traditions.
Lambeau Field sits within the city of Green Bay, a short drive from downtown and accessible by local roads and public transit. The stadium is a focal point for the surrounding neighbourhood and a year-round destination for fans.
- Tours and visits: Stadium tours run on non-game days and include museum access and behind-the-scenes areas; advance booking is recommended during season and summer months.
- Culture: Known for the “Lambeau Leap” touchdown celebration and a deeply rooted community ownership model, the stadium retains a strong year-round fan culture.
