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.

Other football stadiums feel like entertainment venues. Lambeau field feels like a football haven. You gotta visit to truly understand.

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.

And the entire state of Wisconsin watched this video and collectively said, "DUH!"

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.

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.

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.

Even if you can't get to a game, take the tour. What a special experience. All the tour guides are fantastic.

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.

3:35 that image of Brett Favre in the snow is bad ass...

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

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

I wish more teams had their ownership model.

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.

"The Frozen Tundra" "Ice Bowl" One of them legendary stadia !

Lambeau isn't just a stadium, it is hallowed NFL ground.

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.

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! ^^

The real reason why the packers played down in Milwaukee was cuz they wanted to grow a fan base down in Milwaukee

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!

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.

There's a lot of packer fans out here in Wyoming! Go pack Go. I've been to four games at Lambeau.

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

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

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 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.

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 !

Been to a few different NFL stadiums, but nothing beats my tkts on the 45 yard line of LA LA LA LAMBEAU FIELD!

They don’t have an owner. Explains everything.

First stadium built specifically for an NFL team

Just attended my first ever game at lambeau 2 weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing! The whole atmosphere is indescribable.

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...

I live in CA but that is one of my bucket list is to go to a Green Bay Packer game.

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!

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’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!

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)

Utterly fantastic place to visit. I've been twice from UK and seen 3 games there. Go Pack Go.

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.

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

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.

Very well done, thank you for all the effort you put into this video.

Channel name: Forgotten places Video on channel: The most well-known stadium in the NFL

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! :-)

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.

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.

Great video. Short, sweet, and to the point.

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!

Why does Lambeau work? “You’re goddamn right it does”

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!

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.

Thank you for making this video!

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.

from the bottom on my heart, thank you for this video.

The Fenway/Wrigley of Football, and it’s not even close.

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.

I think its the team structure that makes it work. The people own the team thus truly has it in their hearts.

Its sooo iconic and beautiful 😍

See this Bears, this is how you upgrade an old stadium

Best stadium I’ve ever been to, hands down! There is a nostalgic appeal to it, similar to Busch stadium in St. Louis

😭 Made me proud and Im a Saints fan

idk why but this seems like a school presantation lol

Walked on the field and did the Lambeau leap as a Lions fan. Super rad stadium for sure.

As someone who grew up in gb and has watched the stadium change over time am still amazed how big they made it.

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.

Love the channel my friend!

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.

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

Great video thank you

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

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.

I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan, but have family that loves the Green Bay Packers too. I love the video!😁🏈

Good job on this!

it works because the owners and risk takers are one and the same. incredible stadium-worth the tour.

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 😉

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

Even if you hate the Packers you should still take a tour of the stadium ,it's very interesting to see it still

They good old sign your kids up for seasons passes when they're born because the wait list is so long

The real reason Lambeau Field works, is because the Packers have the best fans in the world.

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

Packer for life I would love to have been able to he was stadium from then till now that's my bucket list to see a game there

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

There are lots of good memories.

Great video and informative! The Jets go to Lambaeu tomorrow to whoop up on em. Go Jets!!!

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.

Needed to talk about the actual field and why it doesn’t freeze anymore…they have some crazy systems running it.

And I'm blessed to live just a few minutes away from it 😊

It's a sweet stadium!!

Being born there, it’s such a great place

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.

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

They put a great product on the feild. In very cold temperatures, they can still sell out.

Bucket list destination for me.

I go there every year it’s so fun I would recommend it

Well, can the same be said about Wrigley Field in Chicago and Fenway Park in Boston? Those two stadium actually work really well.

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.

As san diego charger fan, im jealous 😫

Someday I hope I can go to a game there

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.
