From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Home Stadium of the Green Bay Packers Professional American Football team. Originally constructed in 1957 at an approximate cost of a million dollars as City Stadium, it replaced the original City Stadium as the Packers home field. It was renamed Lambeau Field in 1965 as a memorial to Earl L. (Curly) Lambeau, the Packers' founder and first coach. A massive reconstruction was begun in 2001 to update the facilities, but keep the storied playing field of the "frozen tundra". The renovation project was completed in 2003. Current capacity is 72,515.
Lambeau Field is the longest continuously occupied stadium in the National Football League, in its 47th year (as of 2003).
