Lambeau Field — Attraction in Green Bay

Heading to the NFL Draft weekend at Lambeau Field was a really cool experience for this Virginia girl. That legendary stadium transformed into a lively and exciting place for the draft, with a great sense of community. It was a unique way to see one of the league's biggest events unfold.

The Atmosphere: You could definitely feel the energy as soon as you got there. Lots of excited fans in their team gear were chatting and looking forward to who their team would pick. They had big screens showing the live draft with commentary, so you didn't miss anything. When the Packers made their picks, the roar from the crowd was awesome,a real wave of hope and excitement. Even when other teams were picking, there was a cool feeling of everyone just being into the game together.

What They Did for Fans: The Packers really made an effort to make it a memorable weekend for everyone. They had fun stuff set up, like chances to test your football skills,peek at Super Bowl rings, Lombardi trophy and fun photo opportunities. You even saw some former Packers players around the Alum tent. The team store was packed with people checking out the draft,Packer, and Lambeau merchandise. It was clear they knew Lambeau is a special place.

The Lambeau Factor: Being at Lambeau Field just made the whole experience better. Walking through that iconic stadium and feeling all the history, there added something extra to the draft. Even though everyone was focused on the future of the league, being surrounded by the Packers' past was pretty special. And the tailgating scene had a draft twist, with people grilling out in their front yards and talking about potential picks.

How It Was Organized: Even with tons of people, the event was generally pretty well organized. Signs were easy to follow, the staff were friendly and helpful, and finding things like restrooms and food wasn't a hassle. They even had good options for vegetarians and people avoiding gluten. There were some longer lines, especially during the first day and for popular activities. But the parking situation wasn't as bad as some people made it out to be. There were plenty of places to park at different price points, from people's yards, regular lots,public transportation and private shuttles.

Overall: NFL Draft weekend at Lambeau was a total must-do. And even if you just dig football, it was a really cool experience. The mix of that awesome energy, all the fun stuff they do for fans, and being right there at Lambeau Field makes it something I won't forget. It's like a big party celebrating what's happening now and what's coming up in the NFL, all in this legendary stadium. If you ever get the chance,...

My kids experienced Lambeau for the first time at this year's Packers Family Night and we highly recommend it!

Some tips for Family Night:

Large bags are not allowed to be carried into the stadium. However, I recommend bringing a packable tote inside your clear bag so that you have something to carry excess items (i.e. sweatshirts that you had to carry through security) once you're inside.

After a certain time in the afternoon, you cannot leave and re-enter the stadium. Plan ahead for this if you want to shop at the Pro Shop earlier in the day. (Doors to the stadium open 90 minutes early.)

Titletown will be packed, but it's a fun scene! Bring your own football to play in the football field there and participate in the hail mary challenge. They also have a dance party, mini golf, foosball, ping pong, shuffleboard, and more.

There are portable toilets, but no one seems to know about the Family Restrooms at the far end of the field, under the stairs. They're much cleaner.

Pack some emergency snacks and water bottles. The lines for food trucks get really long.

We were able to carry in a sealed water bottle per person into the stadium as well. Otherwise you can pack an empty reusable one to fill once inside to avoid the water prices of over $6.

Stay for the fireworks/laser show! Even if you watch them from outside the stadium!

Book hotels super early to avoid astronomical prices / sold out rooms.

Snag $5 parking if you book your tickets early! In addition, limited ADA parking is available day of, first come first serve, for $5.

With every seat in the entire stadium priced at under $13, book right when ticketing opens for the chance as some epic seats!

If you want to snag giveaways, hit the Fan Walkway starting around 1:30 from Oneida Street to the Oneida Nation Gate.

A Perfect First Trip to Lambeau Field: Packers Win in Last-Second Thriller

This past weekend, my mom and I made our first trip to Lambeau Field—and it just so happened to be on her 66th birthday. Neither of us could have asked for a better way to celebrate. Walking into that stadium, you can immediately feel the history, but what stood out the most was how welcoming the entire experience was.
