Lambeau Stadium, Green Bay, Wisconsin

The city of Green Bay has a storied history, but enough about Packer football. No, it’s almost all about Packer football. They even made sure the highest point of Lambeau Stadium is the highest point in the city.

The main entrance features a Super Bowl trophy 27 times its normal size.

The trophy a team gets for winning the Superbowl is named after Vince Lombardi. The Green Bay Packer coach that won Superbowl number 1.

Fun facts…

Green Bay is the official “Title Town” city of all the places making the claim. That’s because they trademarked the name.

The team owns 47 acres around the stadium. That’s why all the streets in the area are named for Packer Hall of Famers.

There is a clock tower at the stadium that is always 15 minutes fast. That’s because legendary Packer coach Vince Lombardi told his players if they weren’t 15 minutes early he would record them late for practice.

The stadium has been sold out since 1960 for all season ticket types. There is a waiting list of 150,000 with an average of only 250 becoming available per year. Mostly the tickets are passed down in families.

Here are images from my walk around the stadium. From the top down to the field.

This is the view from the indoor end zone club seats with an all day game buffet included with your $500 ticket.
This is the view from the midfield luxury boxes that go for $70,000. Of course you can’t see the field from the door.
You can’t get past the door without your digital game badge.
We couldn’t get into the locker room but we did see this panorama outside the door. The room is shaped like a football.
We did get to run on to the field just like the team. We mostly just walked but it was amazing to come out of the tunnel to view the field.
They want to protect the grass for the games. I wasn’t standing on it.
Here’s the whole field from the Packers side of the 50 yard line.
The stadium contains a two story Hall of Fame. It includes a lot of Packer history.
This is the engraving on the first of 4 Superbowl trophies that the Packers have won.This was at Superbowl 1 in 1967. My father took me to see that game. My story impressed the tour guide.

Right next to the stadium are 3 practice fields. One is enclosed in the building on the right side of the photo.
