Lambeau Field, nicknamed "The Frozen Tundra", is the home stadium of the NFL's Green Bay Packers. Originally opened in 1957 as City Stadium, it replaced Green Bay's original City Stadium as the Packers' home field. For that reason, it was also informally known as New City Stadium until 1965, when it was renamed for Packers founder Earl Louis "Curly" Lambeau following his death.

Lambeau Field was the first stadium built for the exclusive use of an NFL team and is the longest continuously occupied stadium in the NFL. Originally having a capacity of 32,500, the stadium has continuously increased its capacity throughout its history, expanding to 38,669 in 1961, 42,327 in 1963, 50,860 in 1965, and 56,263 in 1970, when the stadium was fully enclosed. 72 private boxes were added in 1985, increasing the capacity to 56,926. 36 boxes and 1,920 theater-style club seats added in 1990 increased the capacity to 59,943. 90 more boxes added in 1995 increased the capacity to 60,890.

From 2001 to 2003, Lambeau Field received a renovation and expansion project involving the addition of the Lambeau Field Atrium. The current capacity of the stadium is 81,435, with 166 private boxes.
