- A look at the story of Lambeau Field and why an old stadium in a small market works so well and is so successful.
No I don’t consider Soldier Field the oldest stadium, too much was replaced.

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.
The Bears played at Wrigley Field for decades before at Soldier Field lol
It isn't they left the Columns in front and tore down the Reat.
Too many changes made for soldier field? U litterally said the only thing original at lambeau is the bowl lmao
LMAO @2:40 so not so many changes hey?
In this video, you said the Packers are the only team in Wisconsin. Not true. They are the only NFL team in Wisconsin but we have other teams too (Brewers & Bucks)
Other football stadiums feel like entertainment venues. Lambeau field feels like a football haven. You gotta visit to truly understand.
Ive been there, yea it definitely has more of a football feel.
Lambeau Field is the Yankees Stadium and the Camp Nou of the NFL!
Would you say it's comparable to old CFB stadiums?
Texas Stadium was a football stadium, Cowboys Stadium is an entertainment venue
Wow. Prolly couldn’t have said it better and I’ve never even been there
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.
Yeah they would have explored the Los Angeles Packers at some point like many other owners have threatened!
This is what socialism was the whole time?
Always was.
@@connordolan4597 I'd say it worked well this time, but can't say it would work the same for the entire world.
@@Kevin-it4fh It probably would have worked for every other relocated team, especially when fans have buy-in like they do with the Packers.
@@connordolan4597 Not really. As people have the freedom to participate or not. It's more like a cooperative where people band together to compete in a Capitalistic market.
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.
It definitely is. I'm a Cowboys and hate the Packers: the team. But I definitely want to go to a game at Lambeau
@@djtrankilo231 You probably don't hate the packers you just hate how they always beat you.
@@24magiccarrot honestly, yes. Hard to fully dislike this team except Aaron Rodgers always comes up clutch when it matters
@@djtrankilo231 As a Packers fan I wouldn't want anyone else under centre if we needed one score with very little time.
In clutch situations there are just some guys that have an air of inevitability that they are going to pull it off and Rodgers is one of those guys.
All these fans of other teams that say they hate him unless your Tamba Bay or Kansas City would replace your current QB with Rodgers in a heartbeat.
@@djtrankilo231 respect 🤝
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
Al least Chicago didn't do that to Wrigley field
You can say the same thing about the Seahawks and the 49ers the Seahawks rebuilt their stadium in the heart of the city while the 49ers decided to move out of San Francisco entirely into silicon valley and it’s a corporate atmosphere at Levi stadium go Hawks
I don't think there would've been any other way to give better views and comfort to the fans while providing the necessary luxury boxes to avoid a move.
LMAFO RIGHT
@@Kevin-it4fh The comfort argument falls apart because 1/2 of it you’re getting baked in the sun and the other one is a office tower of sweets meanwhile at lumen field it’s much more comfortable you’re under a roof in the upper deck and you get beautiful views of Puget Sound easy win
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.
Nice another Green Bay resident. I live just across the Fox River. Can see the stadium lights from my house.
yea when the game is over, there is massive traffic jams and getting out of green bay to i43 south is insane, cars just line up for milesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Lucky you sir-I grew up near the Oakland Colusium and remember hearing the cheers on Sundays..seeing the stadium lights from the hills..those days are loooong gone.Football ain't the same anymore anyway...
I live by you 😊 I'm in West De Pere
@@chodiusmaximus4042 Yup, my church is catty corner to Lambeau.
And the entire state of Wisconsin watched this video and collectively said, "DUH!"
Oh yah bud, but we slurred the Duh because we are all drunk 24/7. Who wants to get some culvers?
You don’t even have to be from Wisconsin to know that Lambeau is great. If you’re a football fan, you know Lambeau is amazing.
DUH ... ...
Born and raised with a beer in one hand and a brat in the other.
And that was breakfast time.
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 am very happy you enjoy American football. Hopefully, you can still watch a game in Wembly now or Frankfurt.
Even if you can't get to a game, take the tour. What a special experience. All the tour guides are fantastic.
Yes! I was finally able to go to my first game this year (Packer fan from Iowa), and took the tour the day prior, what an amazing experience.
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
And they do have handi cap seating. These civil engineers over do it with safety.
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 you also have other (somewhat) larger cities further down south
Think Madison, Janesville, Kenosha
@@noahlange5102 Dear Noah: I think that MANY American Cities would willingly pay extra to own their own pro sports team. It's just that no other city has been given such a chance. I lived in Oakland years ago when Al Davis moved the Raiders to LA. EVERY Raider game had been Sold Out and yet the BUM moved the Raiders NOT because he was losing money but only because he wanted MORE Money. It really breaks my heart to think about how many Raider fans in Oakland still got together in some Oakland bar to watch their games Even Long AFTER they moved to LA. A pro sports team is Much More than a business. It is an important part of a city's identity, part of the identity of every citizen of that metro area. Hey, Noah !!! My money says that MANY American cities and their citizens would sacrifice A Lot just to own their own team on their own terms !!! ... jkulik919@gmail.com

Yeah. He's not from around here. Milwaukee people only come here twice a year. They mean nothing.
@@noahlange5102 lol sure ignore all of door county.
3:35 that image of Brett Favre in the snow is bad ass...
I wish more teams had their ownership model.
Not gonna happen. NFL by-laws forbid it. It was set up in the 1950s, before the league became a money machine.
I always tell people, watch the interview with Charles Woodson where he talks about signing with the Packers. He didn't want to come to Green Bay, he didn't want to play in Green Bay and he didn't want to be a Packer. Over the course of 1 year after signing, he fell in love with the team and city and said he had the most fun he's ever had playing the sport of football during his time in Green Bay.
The team and city change players.
yeah he fell in love because the raiders were a train wreck in the early 2010s 😂😂😂😂😂
@@genociderjill Well first off he signed with the Packers in 2006, nowhere near the 2010's. 2nd, he himself admitted the Packers were the only team to offer him a contract at the time
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 isn't just a stadium, it is hallowed NFL ground.
Hallowed, like a funeral home. Nearly every January their fans come together to watch their team choke to death.
@@shadysif6220 Hey, they still won four Super Bowls, which is more than any other team except for the Patriots, Steelers, 49ers, Cowboys, and Giants.
@@shadysif6220this is probably coming from someone who’s team hasn’t won a superbowl in a long time. That or you’re a team hopper.

One of them legendary stadia !
As a lifelong NFL fan, watching a game at Lambeau is on my bucket list...even if it's a college game, I'm going someday! ^^
We just went there for the Seahawks game last Sunday...all the way from California! It was on my fiance's bucket list for 30 years and I surprised him with tickets for his 50th birthday. It was a truly amazing experience. You will love it.
I agree it is an amazing experiance
You have to! It is a must!!!!!
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.
I just threw up in my mouth. Most of those titles were before the league was relevant. I can’t wait till Rodgers leaves and gets revenge on the Pack.
@@brendanmayhew6280 Yeah ok barf breath, good luck with that dream. Ask Favre how that revenge thing worked out for him. Ant thinking person knows Rodgers has more class than that. None of your teams title are relevant in any context. You're such a proud fan you don't have the nads to even name your team. LOL TITLETOWN RULES and you just drool.
Get out your asterisk. That '31 title was preserved by refusing to travel to Portsmouth, Ohio to play the Spartans who were 1/2 game behind them. The next season Portsmouth played the Ironman Game beating GB 19-0 without substituting a single player. sciotohistorical.org/items/show/119 BTW, that stadium is still there. sciotohistorical.org/items/show/112
@@thomaslgrice Stick it up your asterisk, you can slice and dice and make excuses all year long and Green Bay will STILL be known as TITLETOWN. Deal with it.
@@hlloyd-fs4uf Salty...because you can call yourself whatever you like? Such a cogent reply. Stellar reasoning. Fact remains when the league made it harder for teams to avoid playing their betters and they finally got to Portsmouth, they had their asterisks handed to them by 11 men.
I’ve been there before the atmosphere is awesome. I went for the home opener in 2017 against my Seahawks even though we lost that game I had a lot of fun there and the people there are awesome too and really friendly.
Yea i stopped there on vacation last yr, the employee at motel 6 said rooms cost over $400 when theres a game...
Forgotten Places you think you can do the Metrodome or Jack Murphy stadium next?
@@forgottenplaces9780 if you’re right by the stadium maybe but if you go to the one on shawano it’s like 90 bucks when there’s a game.
@@skylerbehunin7777 I've had some fun times at the motel 6 on military and shawano.
Go Seahawks
The real reason why the packers played down in Milwaukee was cuz they wanted to grow a fan base down in Milwaukee
Actually it wasn't just that. It also had to do with protecting it as team territory to both prevent a competing team from forming in Milwaukee and gaining revenue to prevent relocation.
Yep, they were worried Milwaukee might try to get an AFL team so they signed an exclusive contract with Milwaukee County Stadium to only host the Packers. The investors that tried to get the AFL team then move on to securing an NBA team.
It was entirely a financial decision. The Packers were playing in Milwaukee 12 years before the AFL expansion team scenario arose. Lombardi invoked the team's exclusive lease of County Stadium, which they already had. The Packers in their own documentary talk about the financial struggle the team had early on and the decision to play in Milwaukee for its substantially larger market.
@@NikeTubeStudios The Pack is strong with you. Go Pack Go!
to be fair, for YEARS Milwaukee County Stadium was bigger than Lambeau Field in capacity until 1970, even by then Lambeau was barely bigger than County stadium. It got the Packers more revenue than playing at Lambeau even in 1957 when the stadium was first constructed.
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
Eh, I actually think they integrated the columns well for the most part given how small of a space it was
Soldier field is a great stadium. They could have done better on the exterior addition, but you sit right on top of the action.
@@signoresantinoburnett1169 it's voted one of the worst playing surfaces in the NFL.
I love the L.A. Coliseum also.
I like Soldier Field but I agree, Lambeau is the best outdoor and Superdome best indoor. I call the New Orleans Saints the Green Bay Packers of the South.
There's a lot of packer fans out here in Wyoming! Go pack Go. I've been to four games at Lambeau.
I’m a fan from NJ #GOPACKGO let’s get a win on Saturday
The St. Louis Cardinals stadium had a bar built into it that was a packers/Scottish bar.
What are you talking about Wyoming doesn't exist
I was in Iowa a few years ago, and lots of people I met wanted to talk about the Packers.
Wyoming is a beautiful state
I remember I used to play in AT&T stadium in highschool for a couple games during the year. It always felt a little weird because it doesn’t really feel like a real football field, I’ve been to Lambeau field once and got to go on the field and into the locker rooms and it was just a different feeling compared to anything else just the history of it makes it so meaningful and oddly motivating.
Lived in Wisconsin 25 years, finally got to see my first game (last year's divisional win against Seattle, last game with a full stadium of fans). I can only compare it to being at Camp Randall but on a larger scale. I was screaming at the top my lungs all night and yet it was still so loud I couldn't even hear my own screaming. I knew playoff Lambeau would be electric but I had no idea...
Better explain that Camp Randall is the stadium at the University of Wisconsin and how it literally gets rocking.
@@mathewfullerton8577, damn students. ;-)
@@mathewfullerton8577 and don’t forget the Jump Around!!!!
If you really want to have fun, come to a Packers Game when the UW-Madison band is playing!!! They stay and do a Fifth Quarter after the game. And no one leaves😍😍😍😍
@@mathewfullerton8577
You're not kidding
When they do the jump around the stadium literally moves
They don’t have an owner. Explains everything.
Technically they have 360,000+ owners. But nobody can hold more than 200K shares. The arrangement isn't allowed any longer in any league; only Green Bay and the Saskatchewan team in the CFL have such an arrangement (and both were grandfathered in).
@@reedermh it’s an ingenious arrangement really 👍
@@reedermh And the people who buy these packer “shares” are stupid because you literally have no power or say in the team. All you’re doing is helping buying the team.
@@josecarranza7555 this statement makes no sense. Alongside that, unlike *fucking* Spanos this keeps the Packers in Green Bay, which without public ownership wouldn’t be possible.
Public ownership, in the same way General Motors is a publicly traded company. The City of Green Bay doesn’t own it. Only the fans. Oh, and President Obama (he was given a share by Charles Woodson when the Packers beat the Bears on the way to the Super Bowl).@@praetorian9823
Lambeau Field also works because it was designed solely for NFL football, nothing else (despite some concerts and other winter events like college hockey). Since 1957, it is the oldest continuous NFL used stadium in America. What do I mean by that? Many other NFL teams didn't play in their own NFL centric stadium until recently in the last 30 or so years. Many NFL teams got stuck sharing with baseball teams, college teams, or even in football stadiums built before the team's existence. Lambeau Field was built for one purpose in mind, the Packers. A great example of a team not getting their own stadium until recently? The Minnesota Vikings, for years they shared with the Minnesota Twins in both Bloomington's stadium, the Metrodome and then during US Bank Stadium's construction, the Vikings had to share with the University of Minnesota.
There are 2 kinds of NFL stadiums now, Home Field Advantage stadiums, and Multi-Use stadiums. Home Field Advantage stadiums are for markets/stadiums not designed for the Super Bowl, Olympics, Basketball/Hockey, Pro Wrestling/Boxing, or other championship level events, the stadium is only meant to play NFL football for the home team, which is what Lambeau Field is, thus we don't have to really worry about other events played here, in 2016 for the first time ever we hosted the University of Wisconsin Madison to play a football game vs LSU to open their season (and the Badgers won!).
Multi-Use stadiums are obviously the opposite, and there's no better example than AT&T Stadium, 80k base capacity expandable to over 100k! Hosted Wrestlemania, a final four, an NBA all-star game, multiple college championship level games, and Super Bowl 45, only thing it hasn't hosted was an olympics and NHL stadium game. The design of that stadium helps for hosting all of those events whereas with Lambeau, we're all open air, hot or cold, rain/snow/sun, we don't care. Hence why Lambeau is a Home Field Advantage stadium, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
I wish they would have more college games up there.
Yep, home field. Eli and the Giants beat both Favre and Rodgers. Both were at Lambeau, both were upsets. Both Kaep, and Jimmy G(Niners) booted you out of playoffs in Lambeau. And the young inexperienced Lions denied you a chance to make the playoffs, beating you guys in Lambeau.
Guess those teams didn't get the memo.
Been to a few different NFL stadiums, but nothing beats my tkts on the 45 yard line of LA LA LA LAMBEAU FIELD!
How about working security on the field after escorting Brett into the locker room on a Monday night?
I did laps in a Gator all around it as I was alone on Sunday night.
The stadium was all mine for a night.
If I wasn't a Steelers fan I would be a Packers fan- they are so solid- SO many stories- so many GREAT players- no cheating (HELLO PATRIOTS)- probably the most loyal fans EVER (who else would go out in that weather?- it's cold in Pittsburg- but not THAT cold)
We are the most loyal fans in GB, but the Buffalo fans give us a run for the money in that regard.
And if there were no Packers I would be a Steelers fan!! Both blue collar hard working teams.
Bro Steelers fans are the same. Loyal fans ginormous fan base. Winning history. A great history 0 losing seasons in the Big Ben era. And more rings than the Packers. Literally the same thing
@@nadaesfacil Packers have more than twice the championships though!
"Hello patriots" LMAO😂 damn right, if Brady wasn't NFL's poster boy, NFL wouldn't have given him so many superbowls
I live in CA but that is one of my bucket list is to go to a Green Bay Packer game.
It’s literally so fun to go there. They even made a whole thing for children to play and honestly one the coolest playgrounds ever and there is a hill to slide down and a ice skating rink and overall a fun place to visit. Very grateful to be living close to it
I was living in Madison when the 2001-2003 remodel was being planned when someone came out with this horrid monstrosity to be built next Lambeau. It had a roof and was very ugly. I don't remember who came up with it, but I was convinced that it was all a ruse to get people to approve the sale of shares, the sales tax, and all that funded the remodel. They realized that it was old enough that wi-fi, which didn't exist when the old boxes were built, was a nightmare. They also knew that rewiring would be impossible.
They figured that the best way to protect the bowl, since the Packers never missed a home game throughout the remodel, was to build away from it. This was done to protect fans from any construction, but it was mostly done so they could build a deep, strong foundation probably about 40 feet below ground. That way there would be no worries about the new structure being solid, with a good foundation. By having 25 feet between the old structure and the new boxes, there would be little to no risk of collapse, with major supports on the wall while the foundation was built. After building the new boxes, and all, they connected them to the bowl with the seats that you can see with the yellow bars that run all around the field in front of the new boxes. If you look at Lambeau on "Terrain" on Googlemaps, you'll see a walkway with entrances under the boxes all around the stadium. That walkway, giving access to the seats, was the top of the Lambeau bowl prior to the big remodel that finished in 2003. Everything beyond that is completely new.

Hey this is a decent production!!! I’ve lived within 50 miles of Lambeau Field my whole life and it’s our pride and joy here in Wisconsin!!! I love the team and all it stands for! Go Pack Go!
Lambeau also has one of the best playing surfaces- with all kinds of improvements - drainage, field heating, real bluegrass growing amongst a synthetic matrix just below the surface- and one of the best maint. staffs in the NFL !
Utterly fantastic place to visit. I've been twice from UK and seen 3 games there. Go Pack Go.
Just attended my first ever game at lambeau 2 weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing! The whole atmosphere is indescribable.
I think it is very cool that a small city like Green Bay can have a major league sports franchise like the Packers and as long as there are people in the community who own the team, it will never leave.
Perfect timing to see this.
Our son is taking our grandson and granddaughter to Lambeau today to see their very first in person Packers game! They’ve got tickets in the south endzone and are hoping to get a Lambeau Leap come their way.
I’m from Chicago and I’m amazed by the support and fan base of Greenbay. I love old stadiums that is hybrid. Old school in the new school era!
Very nice video. One added point, however, to why it works. It's also a great venue to watch a football game. Literally, not a bad seat in the house.
I attended Green Bay East high school *2008-2012
Played Football, and I'm glade I had the opportunity to play on a historic field when the Packers were the Acme.
The Superdome is my favorite! I love the circular shape design of the venue! It’s been around since 1975 and it still stands the test of time!

@@ShOoTeR7386 this aged like milk
Soldier Field is actually vastly superior to lambeau considering the outer facade is actually original and more iconic, the new seating layout gives fans the closest field proximity of any NFL stadium, making it very loud as well. Not to mention the surrounding area of soldier field is much prettier considering it is in the middle of a world class city. But enjoy the poor sightlines and freezing cold metal benches in GB. At least at Lambeau you can stop at the gas station across the street for beer.
I will show this to my friend. He says "Lambeau Fields sucks because it's old". I try to tell him otherwise but he won't listen. He is a Raiders Fan. Thanks for the video!

@@praetorian9823 Being Honest I don't know. But he thinks that last year (2019-2020) the Raiders made the playoffs and lost to the Broncos. Like bruh

The Fenway/Wrigley of Football, and it’s not even close.
I miss Tiger Stadium and Comiskey Park in baseball too.
The Packers played games in Milwaukee due to Milwaukee's half way distance between Green Bay and Chicago. This was done to keep the Milwaukee as a Packers market and not a Bears market.
Why does Lambeau work?
“You’re goddamn right it does”
Great story! I find myself smiling and giving the Packers and their fan base a fist pump when they win even though a block of cheese never adorned my head. Here's to you Green Bay and your faithful fan! :-)
Thank you, Ken. A lot of us like the Packers because they are owned by the fans and play in a small, blue collar city without all the glitz and corporate influence. GO PACK GO!!
You need to do a video for Olympic Stadium in Montreal. A stadium that has cost over $1 billion and sits dormant most of the time
The uninterrupted bowl gives it the coolest look and feel. Being there with my wife is the biggest thrill, as the Packers are undefeated when I've gone with her!
Very well done, thank you for all the effort you put into this video.
I made the pilgrimage from Ohio with my father. We were not there for a game but just to tour the place. Honestly I enjoy it over other stadiums because of the history and how simplicit it is when it comes to seating arrangements. Just standing in the center you feel like you are within the nucleus of everything.
Great video. Short, sweet, and to the point.
I think its the team structure that makes it work. The people own the team thus truly has it in their hearts.
Best stadium I’ve ever been to, hands down! There is a nostalgic appeal to it, similar to Busch stadium in St. Louis
The real reason Lambeau Field works, is because the Packers have the best fans in the world.
And may it work tomorrow as well. GO PACK GO.❤💚💛
Here Here do it for Ted Thompson
I have never seen a comment as true as this one
Cleveland Browns fans have entered the chat.
I wouldn't go as far as saying they are the best, but they are better than the Eagles for damn sure.
I enjoyed this video.. You sir did homework great job with pics audio and all between. Yet a true Packers fan is gonna understand just how special that stadium is. Well done brother. 🏟️👍🍻 Cheers.
the person in 1950 who made that stadium is a legend to make it last this long when other where built in same years or so came down after 20 years
Dude, Our Stadium was just a Steel and Concrete with bleachers. It was a very simple design. They just built a building around the stadium to make it more modern.
There's NFL fans, and there's Packers fans.
It's the best way to put it. It's a culture and community around the team. It's been keeping the Packers going from day one.
i, as a bears fan, look at lambeau the same way i would imagine baseball fans, specifically brewers fans look at wrigley field. i hope the team that plays there never wins another game, but maaaaaan i would love to see a game there.
The Packers are owned by the fans, the bears are owned by Aaron Rodgers.
@@24magiccarrot therefore, by the transitive property, the packers are owners of the bears. so, can we trade uniforms for every player please? remember, same team now!
@@ZeCockOfTheWalk The Packers don't own everything Rodgers owns, Rodgers owns his own house the Packers don't own his house.

😭 Made me proud and Im a Saints fan
It's not just Wisconsin where the Packers are popular. I recently moved from Wisconsin to Arizona and I kid you not, I see just as many people walking around in Packer gear here as I did in Wisconsin.
Its like everyone in NYC and LA doing well is from Wisconsin.
it is, to me the mecha of football! i went in 2017 and it was the time of my life, the people are A+, the houses next to the parking lot are really cool that are rented out on game day.
it works because the owners and risk takers are one and the same. incredible stadium-worth the tour.
from the bottom on my heart, thank you for this video.
Thank you for making this video!
As someone who grew up in gb and has watched the stadium change over time am still amazed how big they made it.
Yeah. The Seats are still there. The Scaffolding in the walls are still there but they basically built a building around the stadium. It was such a simple like High School Stadium back then. Hell, the walls were made of corrugated Metal.
Walked on the field and did the Lambeau leap as a Lions fan. Super rad stadium for sure.
idk why but this seems like a school presantation lol
I played football on Lambeau field. Back in the summer of 1970, a friend and I took a football to the stadium. The south entrance was wide open, so we just went in. We tossed the ball around a bit, then the groundskeeper drove us off. Back then, you could watch the team practice a block or two away, so I got to watch Bart Starr and the others work on their plays. I don't know if you can still do that today, since I haven't been to Green Bay since I left in 1971. I used to live at the corner S. Ridge road and Cormier St., just South of the stadium. On game day, Ridge road was packered, mmm, packed with cars. I doubt if that has changed.
Oh, and my dad had season tickets! Yes, he worked for Green Bay Seed Co., and a perk of his job was a pair of season tickets. I got to see the Packers beat the Lions 34-0. Some things never change.
Has to be said. Bears fan here. Much respect to Lambeau Field and the team. Owned by the town is a cool thing. That all being said, #Frakthepack 😉
I'm a lifelong Packers fan. I went to Lambeau for the Bears game in 2017 and had an absolute ball with the Bears fans who were sitting nearby (several groups of them). Except for the scary play that knocked out Davante Adams, a fun night. Yes, we're rivals, but we're also neighbors. :)
Because the Packers are truly "America's Team", loved all over the nation and owned by the people, for the people.
DZ
Dallas Cowboys is America’s Team.
Dallas Cowboys generates more money than any NFL team and have more followers on Facebook.
@@josecarranza7555 Patriots have more followers on Instagram, which is usually free of boomers
@@Kevin-it4fh Dallas Cowboys still generates more money than any NFL team including your sorry ass team your mom made you like.
@@josecarranza7555 lol, I'm a Cowboys fan too when the Jets don't do good because of my dad, but the arrogance isn't a good look
@@Kevin-it4fh Faq
We also can't forget tailgating.
2nd best part of the day
You get to make good food, make friends, and play games.
The environment is great
Plus a lot of great bars nearby, with some good music playing.
Its sooo iconic and beautiful 😍
Also a guy that played for the packers in the 80s said they intentionally keep the field frozen even though they had the ability to heat it
That is a lie. THe truth is that the heating system only works to a certin temperature. When it gets colder that that, the system is no longer able to keep it heated. They have never turned it off to keep the field frozen.
Even if you hate the Packers you should still take a tour of the stadium ,it's very interesting to see it still
"For much of its history it was not seen as fit to host the Packers full time" [as games were played in Milwaukee too etc.].
This is historically untrue. The hosting of two home games a year in Milwaukee had NOTHING to do with an alleged 'unfitness' of Lambeau/City Stadium.
They used to play 4 in Milwaukee.
Not to mention that the packers are just widely excepted around the country as one of the most respected franchises and have the most out of state fans
And I'm blessed to live just a few minutes away from it 😊
The Packers are one of the most well run teams in the NFL
The contract they gave Rodgers is one of the worst. Both Favre and Rodgers, each got a ring. But they both followed up success with major choke job after choke job.
There is no financial incentive for the Packers to be moved, even without an owner, to the "shareholders". Since the beginning, there has been a clause for the Packers that if they were to relocate (or sell) the team, all profits were to be donated to a veteran's organization. Since, they've expanded the list of which charities get the profits, I think adding in the Boys and Girls Club as well as potentially the YMCA. Since nobody but charities that the Packers donate to annually would gain from the team moving, it never will.
They changed it in 1997 to a foundation that the team set up for charitable purposes.
How about the packers national/international following?
Take a stadium tour. The guides will tell you people come from around the world to tour Lambeau Field
I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan, but have family that loves the Green Bay Packers too.
I love the video!😁🏈
Love the channel my friend!
Great video thank you
It’s just different, I’m a packers fan from Washington state and I can tell you going to Green Bay is a entire football experience well somewhere like Seattle is just a stadium in the middle of a big city.
They really are the Wisconsin Packers and are easily one of the most popular teams in league history with a traveling fan base that takes over other stadiums.
Bro my phone is listening to me. My dad just told me that we get to go to the rams packers game lol and this pops up
They good old sign your kids up for seasons passes when they're born because the wait list is so long
There's just a cool and legendary feeling about the stadium. Plus the atrium, renovated suites, and renovated hall of fame museum is super cool and houses a lot of interesting history. The title town district will become pretty cool in the next few years
Yeah the titletown district is a lot cooler than a old closed down Shopko building. that was an eyesore on Lombardi. At least I think it was a Shopko that used to be there.
Being born there, it’s such a great place
Great video and informative! The Jets go to Lambaeu tomorrow to whoop up on em. Go Jets!!!
There are lots of good memories.
Back to back, TO BACK elite quarterbacks
Same reason Wrigley Field works. Awesome fans!
I go there every year it’s so fun I would recommend it
Needed to talk about the actual field and why it doesn’t freeze anymore…they have some crazy systems running it.
Driving from Detroit to Green Bay today for my first game at Lambeau with my three sons! Teaching them the rich history.
