Tips & Fan Reports
Bring corrugated cardboard or rent stadium seat cushions. The aluminum benches at Lambeau will freeze your backside off in late season games. Layers on the bottom matter more than the top.
Leave plenty early. You want to be at Lambeau about 2 hours before kickoff, earlier if you want parking closer to the stadium. The highways back up fast.
December and January games can be 0 degrees with wind chill. Hand warmers, toe warmers, ski goggles, chemical heat packs - bring all of it. People are not exaggerating.
Dress for extreme cold, Green Bay is the coldest stadium in the NFL. Late-season games are brutally cold with harsh wind.
Visit the Packers Hall of Fame in the Lambeau Field Atrium. It's open on game days and well worth the time.
Lambeau Field is a pilgrimage. Walk the Lambeau Field Atrium, visit the Packers Hall of Fame, and touch Curly Lambeau's statue. This place is sacred ground.
Bring hand warmers, toe warmers, and chemical heat packs for any game after October. You'll need every one of them.
The Lambeau Leap is a real thing and you might catch a player jumping into your section. Sections 101-135 in the south end zone are where it happens.
