The Packers' open-air bowl on Lombardi Avenue
Lambeau Field is the home of the Green Bay Packers, an open-air stadium at 1265 Lombardi Avenue in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It opened on September 29, 1957, as City Stadium and was renamed in 1965 for Packers founder and longtime coach Curly Lambeau. Capacity is 81,441, and the City of Green Bay owns the building.
The Packers play preseason games in August and regular-season home games from September into January, with playoff games possible after that. Outside football season, the stadium has hosted concerts, a 2016 college football game between Wisconsin and LSU, a 2022 soccer match between Bayern Munich and Manchester City, and an outdoor hockey game in 2006. The 2025 NFL Draft was staged on the stadium grounds and the adjacent Titletown district.
Most seats are aluminum benches without backs, the bowl is fully open to the weather, and December games can be bitterly cold. Those three facts should shape every ticket decision you make here.
How the bowl is laid out and numbered
The stadium runs north to south. The numbering follows a simple even/odd rule: even-numbered sections are on the west sideline, the Packers' side, and odd-numbered sections are on the east sideline, the visitors' side.
- 100 level is the lower bowl, sections 100 to 138. Sections 119 and 120 sit closest to midfield, low numbers run toward the north end zone and high numbers toward the south end zone.
- 300 level is not an upper deck. These sections sit directly behind the 100 level, with roughly a dozen rows or fewer each, which makes the walk to the concourse short.
- 400 level includes club seating, such as the club sections 411 to 429 on the east side.
- South end zone sections carry an "S" suffix, such as 448S. Added in the 2012 to 2015 expansion, they use individual chairback seats with cupholders.
- 600 and 700 levels rise above the south end zone and are the highest seats in the stadium.
The lower bowl is bench seating. Seat backs can be rented at the main gates and near sections 353 and 354, payment by card only. Benches have no armrests or dividers, so expect shoulder-to-shoulder seating once everyone arrives in winter coats.
Picking a seat: sideline, sun and end zone
Sideline seats
Sections 119 and 120 at midfield are the benchmark, and sections 118 and 121 offer nearly the same angle, often for less. Rows 20 to 40 tend to give the best full-field view; the very first rows sit low enough that players on the sideline block the far side of the field.
Sun side vs. shade side
For a noon kickoff, the east sideline (odd sections) and the north end zone take the earliest and strongest sun, and the south end zone stays in shade. For a 3:25 kickoff, the entire west sideline falls into shade, and upper odd-numbered sections from about 407 to 431 hold the sun the longest. In September, the shady west side is the comfortable choice. In December, the sunny east side can be noticeably warmer, so the visitors' side is the smarter seat for a late-season afternoon game.
End zones
Low rows in the north end zone (near sections 100 and 138) put you close to the Lambeau Leap, the touchdown celebration in which players jump into the stands. The trade-off is a poor view of plays at the far end of the field. The south end zone chairback sections are the most comfortable seats in the bowl, and the upper 600 and 700 levels offer a full-field view from a distance.
Club seats
The club level adds indoor access, upgraded food and private restrooms, which matters more at Lambeau than at most stadiums. For a cold-weather game with children or older family members, a club seat or an indoor-access ticket can be worth the premium.
Getting there, parking and tailgating
Stadium gates open two hours before kickoff. Packers-run parking lots are cashless, and season parking is sold out, but single-game reserved parking is offered through the team's parking vendor. Many residents near the stadium sell lawn and driveway spots, each with its own rules.
Tailgating is part of the day. In team lots, as listed in the Packers gameday guide for the 2026 season:
- Setups must stay within a 9-by-6-foot space directly behind your vehicle.
- Charcoal and propane grills are allowed if supervised; wood fires and turkey fryers are not.
- Tailgating ends at kickoff, and setups must be broken down before you leave the vehicle.
- The Titletown lot (Lot 15) does not allow tailgating.
Green Bay Metro runs four free gameday bus routes, starting four hours before kickoff and running every 30 minutes until about an hour after the game. Rideshare pickup is at the corner of Mike McCarthy Way and Holmgren Way; exit through the American Family, Oneida Nation or Potawatomi gates to reach it. Check the Packers Lambeau Field A to Z guide for current details.
Clear-bag policy and cold-weather gear
As of the 2026 season, Lambeau Field enforces a clear-bag policy. Fans may carry one clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag up to 12 by 6 by 12 inches, or a one-gallon clear freezer bag, plus a small clutch no larger than 4.5 by 6.5 inches. Outside food and beverages are not allowed.
- Stadium seats with backs are permitted if they are no wider than 18 inches and have no pockets, zippers or compartments.
- Blankets and extra clothing are allowed when carried loose.
- Battery-heated apparel is permitted.
The stadium is fully cashless, entry is by mobile ticket only, and there is no re-entry at afternoon games. Read the Packers carry-in policy before each game, since it can change with security levels.
The Atrium, Hall of Fame and Titletown
The Lambeau Field Atrium, rebuilt between 2013 and 2015, holds the Packers Pro Shop and the Packers Hall of Fame, which moved into the Atrium in 2015 and is open year-round. Stadium tours run on a first-come, first-served basis, but not on home game days, so plan a tour for the day before or after if you are traveling in.
Next to the stadium, the 34-acre Titletown district opened in 2017 with a hotel, restaurants, a brewery and public space. It is a natural place to spend the hours before kickoff if you are not tailgating.
From City Stadium to the frozen tundra
The stadium opened in 1957 and took Curly Lambeau's name in 1965, two months after his death. Its reputation for brutal cold comes from the Ice Bowl, the 1967 NFL Championship Game, played at 15 degrees below zero; the phrase "frozen tundra" followed.
- 1993: the Lambeau Leap began as a spontaneous celebration and became a stadium tradition.
- 2001 to 2003: a renovation costing about 295 million dollars modernized the stadium.
- 2011: grow lights joined the field's underground heating system to keep the grass, Kentucky bluegrass reinforced with SISGrass, healthy late in the year.
- 2012 to 2015: the south end zone expansion added about 7,500 seats.
Packers season tickets are famously hard to get. The team's waiting list holds at least 150,000 names, which is why single-game resale is how most fans attend.
