The long-standing home stadium of the Green Bay Packers, with tours of the stadium and an adjoining hall of fame. Even outside game days the atrium and statues draw visitors; book a tour ahead in summer.

Lambeau Field in Green Bay opened on September 29, 1957, as City Stadium. In 1965 it was named after Curly Lambeau, founder and longtime coach of the Green Bay Packers, who had died shortly before. The renovation completed in 2003 preserved the original shape of the seating bowl; after later expansions, the stadium now holds about 81,000 spectators. The playing surface is natural grass, and the address is Lombardi Avenue, named after legendary coach Vince Lombardi.

The atrium houses the pro shop, the Packers Hall of Fame, and the start of the stadium tours. Outside are statues of Lambeau and Lombardi and a Lombardi Trophy replica about 50 feet (15 m) tall that makes a good photo spot. Allow several hours for the Hall of Fame and tour combined. Booking the tour in advance is a good idea, and the surrounding area is very crowded on game days.
