Lambeau wont change. Most Packer fans like me dont care about the weather. It adds to the atmosphere. Lambeau has another 100 years. The fans care more about the team than the amenities. If you provide beer, bathrooms and the team, we're good. Also, they wont change the bleachers anytime soon. Considering they've sold out the last 50+ years, it would make little sense to lose 15,000 seats
I went to a Packer game in 1981 I returned two years ago. The difference between then and now is the difference between night and day. It went from the worst stadium in professional sports to what I would say the best. Went on a tour and it was impressive.
As a packer fan that goes to a few games a year. I’ve never heard of a fan that goes to games complain about the temp. If you want to go to a game in Dec/Jan that’s what you sign up for. If you don’t want to deal with the cold then don’t go. They will never build a roof or leave. Also, even with Jordan Love starting this year and the Packers potentially not doing well for a few years, every game will continue to be sold out. The packers have a 60+ year sell out streak. Just because they might have a few bad years doesn’t mean fans won’t go.
@@LIFEWITHTHEJONESES1 like I didn’t already know that. In fact, one of the reasons why Lambeau was built and later expanded/renovated was because there was a threat to move the Packers to Milwaukee full time. City Stadium in Green Bay was just too small and not really great, at least when compared to Milwaukee County Stadium.
Don't give the NFL ideas. Soon, they'll ban the public ownership rule, get a sleazeball billionaires to buy the whole team and the Packers will move out of Wisconsin entirely
The problem is everyone that isn’t a Packers fan thinks Lambeau Field should be enclosed, when nearly all Packer’s fans would never want that. We like the cold, we don’t care. And if you really need it, there is plenty of indoor seats that aren’t suites.
It's arguably the most historic stadium in football. It's nicknamed the Frozen Tundra. Whether you know any of this or not, kind of hard to argue people think it's enclosed. I think what happens in Green Bay's case is that a Packers game is a tourist destination. People from out of the country place it as a bucket list sports event.
I went to their last home games from the previously 2 seasons. In 2022 they played the Vikings and clinched the top seed in the NFC. It was below zero that night but no one was complaining. It was a great atmosphere. And nobody blames the cold for Rodgers’ failures. Both teams are playing in the same weather. It is what it is
Being born and raised in Green Bay and with season tickets in the family, this video is completely off...way off. First, they just renovated the stadium to place two massive video screens in each endzone. We renovate the stadium every couple years. Renovations might be big or small, but that is what your supposed to do. These private owners build a new stadium and do a few upgrades and let it decay. San Diego, old Metrodome, Silverdome, Arrowhead all are decaying or gone. Second, the coldest games are the best to go to. Green Bay in December, especially when snowing, is the best game to watch regardless of score or your team's playing, absolutely beautiful. Third, bro....if the team is bad, still going to show up regardless of the record. That's what out of town fans or not fans don't understand. Biggest show in town and it's a chance to be at Lambeau Field. Over 100,000 on the waiting list with only a few hundred being let go every year. If the true season ticket holders don't show up, they will be sold and there will be butts in seats. Fourth, Dome....lol the shareholders, board, Brown County tax payers will never vote to approve it, nice try. Fifth, I don't where you get your information or sources, if this a your looking at creating content, okay. Taking out the bleachers??? GB is all about tradition.
All the expansions have turned it into a giant, dark miserable place. WAY better when it was just the original bowl with none of the developments on Lombardi.
Just went to Lambeau for the first time for the Sunday night football game against the Chiefs. Driving up to the stadium is incredible, literally in the middle of a neighborhood. My brother and I paid $10 to park in someone's snowy yard and we walked about a quarter mile to the stadium. The newish concourse they have is awesome since inside you get to see the old outside of it. Walking into the field there was a little snowfall and with the sun down and lights on it was magical. Best thing of it all, they beat the Pat Mahomes and the chiefs. The crowd was in it the entire time. I hope they never replace Lambeau field
Also, the cold was bad, but you can always put on my clothes. Id much rather sit in 0 degree weather at Lambeau then sit behind the away team at the dolphins stadium with the Florida sun beating down on me while its 90 degrees
As a packer fan who has been to multiple games, toured the stadium and lived in Wisconsin my whole life. The idea of them putting a roof or making lambeau “warmer”, makes me sick 😂😂. The cold is what gives it character. That’s what the team, people and city are all about. It’s an incredible atmosphere and if people don’t like it, 🤷🏻♂️, bundle up or go see a Vikings game 😂😂😂.
After walking through Lambeau, every other team needs to step it up. It’s a ridiculously nice stadium. Went there for a January Game, super fun in the cold.
I do not believe there are any Packers fans that complain about the cold, I have been twice and there was not one person that was complaining about the weather..... 20 below highs is not realistic, cold yes but not -20 for highs. 2009 playoff game was as bad as it could get, night game also.....
As a Packer fan, I would hate to see Lambeau Field changed or replaced, this is home for us, the cold is our ally, and I don't see any reason for us to leave unless the stadium is truly run down, the stadium hasn't shown any signs of age aside from the bleacher seating
Can we get an update on the renovations to M&T Bank Stadium? The Ravens renewed their lease through 2037 and big updates are being planned. Also, will Tampa do something to compete with Miami and Jacksonville as a Super Bowl host? The Bucs Lease is up in 2028, too. They’ll need something big soon.
To compete with Jacksonville for Superbowl host!? Even if Jacksonville remodels their stadium, no Superbowl is coming there. There are not enough hotel rooms and poor infrastructure in Jacksonville to host something of that magnitude again.
Been there, it's easily the best in the NFL. Been to Seattle, Dallas, Minnesota, Soldier Field, Fedex Field, Lincoln Financial Field, and Metlife. Lambeau kicks the crap out of all of them. Best tailgating with the residential all around it. Best pure NFL experience and if i could only pick one to go back to it's Lambeau. Plus they'll never replace the bleachers. During the tour there they say it will eliminate something like 8,000 seats negating the entire upperdeck addition. Plus they are grandfathered in to things like code and replacing the bleachers would negate that as well. Be surprised if they ever replaced the bleachers.
Lambeau is a temple to football Gods. Along with a few other stadiums. Some college, some pro. Football is a fall to early winter sport. Weather, rain, snow, sleet, sun or wind is part of the game. Regarding weather. I have seen where games in December in Green Bay have been in the 60sF down to -10F. Average around 25 to 30F. I'm posting this on January 28th, 2024. Current temperature in Green Bay is 30F/-1C. 28F/-2C wind chill. Yesterday would have been in the same range. A week ago around the same. Clearly not to cold for football. Unless you're a wimp from Miami or LA. Also. Current cold weather clothing for football players is a lot better than it was 30 years ago. Even 20. The same goes for fans attending cold weather games in KC, Buffalo, Green Bay, Chicago, Cleveland, New Jersey, Philly, Foxborough etc. If you are too cold it is your damn fault. You dress for the weather. Not to make a fashion statement. And for all the complaints about cold weather what about when teams from northern cities go to Miami etc in a late heat wave.
Honestly, I would have to agree in the same way with Highmark Stadium. Like Lambeau Field and Arrowhead Stadium, Highmark is considered legendary, at least in Western New York. Yes I know that it has issues, but I personally don’t see why it needs to be replaced. I think a big renovation would’ve made the most sense. But it’s okay. A new stadium certainly isn’t the worst thing. And it’ll keep the Bills in Western New York, something that may have not necessarily happened if they continued to play at Highmark.
If Lambeau replaces the bleachers with individual seats, the capacity of Lambeau would be reduced by 12,000. Can’t do that to the season ticket holders.
If Lambeau Field were to have its bleachers replaced by seats, how about making the seats heated. I'm not sure if something like that has ever been done to outdoor stadium seats. But if it could be done it would address fan complaints of the stadium being brutally cold. As for moving. That's a big hell no. Lambeau is a forever stadium like Wrigley Field. There's too much history and tradition. Also since the team is community owned there is no real incentive for the team to move, I don't think they would ever move outside of Greenbay because they are publicly owned. So its either build a new stadium elsewhere in Greenbay or renovate as as needed until the end of time.
If the land where Kauffman sits now becomes vacant, I sure hope the Chiefs use it to build a plaza similar to Titletown or Patriot Place. The franchise has more history than people give it credit for, and it’d be a great way to give back to the good people of KC for their dedication all 60+ years they’ve been around
Been to 1 game (week 18 last season) the cold was the coolest part of the experience. I’m from Georgia if I can handle the cold you can too, it’s called a jacket and Baileys
I lived in that neighborhood next to Lambeau! A shame it was in the 70's when packers were horrible.... went to the shopko 4th of July fireworks in Lambeau every year....
Its perfect already. Don't do what the bears did. Yes I've been to lambeau numerous packers games. Get the sargento cheese curds. Your first cold game is your baptism. When players see fans with their shirts off in -12 a mentality is born. Ill never forget mine. It was glorious. Covid game against the rams. You should have seen me. More fan than man. G string face paint.
As a season ticket holder, cold is just part of it. We definitely are not as bothered by it as you seem to think. I don’t hear anyone complain about it. People who don’t want to be in the cold just don’t go later in the year and selling out is never an issue.
I know Green Bay. I've known it my entire life. The Green Bay Packers, Inc. leaving or replacing Lambeau Field is .01%. Financing renovations of Lambeau have always been tricky. When Lambeau underwent a massive inside and out renovations in 2001-2002 (including the Atrium), the financing was a .01% Brown County sales tax for 15 years that the Wisconsin Legislature had to approve. When the south endzone had it's expansion in 2012, GBP got approval to sell more shares of stock. The most likely scenario for Lambeau Field, would be similar seating expansion in the north endzone similar to the south, and quite possibly replacing all the bleachers with modern chart back seats, which would allow a capacity expansion, but not as big of capacity increase due to chair box seats taking more seat space than the outdated bleachers. And for all cases in Wisconsin sports, financing is always a challenge. It was for the Lambeau renovations, it was with building Fiserv Forum, and most recently the renovations for AmFam Field. But, if there's one thing clear. Here in Wisconsin, people take their sports seriously.
The southern addition was put in due to the winds. When they remodeled the stadium in the early 2000's they test and tested but they couldn't predict that odd winds that happened on occasion. They decided to enclose it.
But completely closing it again makes it even harder to predict. Mason Crosby has talked about this that with the stadium enclosed the winds now swirl and change many times over the course of a game.
@@chriskay1449 true, but the benefits outweigh the cons. It also affected deep passes. The new addition also can cut down on the amount of snow that gets blown in.
A person who lives in Wisconsin they had that played. No one complains about Lambeau field and the cold, and if they do most people Wisconsin don’t consider the real Packer fans that’s just how it is we don’t mind it so him adding those points to me are very new.
It's impossible to put a retractable roof on Lambeau field and the chief's stadium. If they could do it the cost would be over 2 billion dollars. The chief's stadium is a massive bowl adding a roof would be crazy expensive just as well build new stadium.
I've been to Lambeau quite a few times, and a lot of Packers fans adore Lambeau Field, and the people up top know that as fact. I don't think the Packers are going to change Lambeau for a while now.
No NBA expansion for Pittsburgh, There’s other cities that will get it first before Pittsburgh. Seattle, Las Vegas and Dallas will get one in the near future.
when they got their last renovation done i think they said their next renovation will be the suites level. i would tear those down and replace them with ones like michigan has that have the glass angled so that it put more fan noise back onto the field
Doubtful as they just finished a multi year renovation of the suites like 4-5 years ago, and they changed things like the glass so they could all be opened.
Lambeau will not change. Minnesota changed especially when Bud Grant was at Minnesota at the Met, he literally believed in Norse mythology to get through the cold. They were great in the cold up to the point which is the reason they could never win a super bowl. The Packers were also great in the cold because no one else was able to catch up to that type of play until in recent years. Playing games in December in Green Bay wasn't clearly a thing until the 90s.
No one here ever talks about how the players like playing in -10 degree weather, trust me, THEY DO NOT LIKE IT. I am a Packers fan since 1971. I would be all for a retractable roof over Lambeau or a new stadium that has that. So fricken sue me, what are you gonna do about it??
Metropolitan Stadium was like playing in a hurricane when the winds blew. Bud Grant used the wind as an asset. Tarkenton was famous for using the wind to his advantage.
I respectfully disagree about the possible attendance issues due to the cold. The Packers have an enormously long season ticket waiting list. It is common for people to put their kids on the waiting list as soon as they are born... If Lambeau made it through the 70's and 80's then they easily could go through another long stretch. Look at the Brewers *Wink* baseball's smallest TV market which manages to pull in great attendance (They don't have many bandwagon fans like the Packers). I don't believe weather to be much of a factor at all. No question, a blizzard bowl is the best experience. As a Packer fan, it is a must to keep it the way it is... It be very awkward to tailgate for hours at Lambeau to go into a dome lol. Tailgating is such a big culture for Lambeau and a dome would kill the experience. Us Packer fans embrace the cold when you wake up to it every single day. The drinking culture makes the cold more bearable lol. I dare you to look up the drunkest counties in the U.S in proximity to Green Bay...
This guy either doesn’t know or completely forgot to mention that Lambeau had a renovation this summer. Also, I have no idea who is complaining about the cold? You mention that a few times in your video, making it seem like there are many fans that complain about this. You’ll have to show some real data about those complaints. As a life long fan and someone who goes to the late December/January games at Lambeau when it is below freezing, the cold is literally the experience of Lambeau field! For the fans that honestly can’t stand the cold, stay at home and give your ticket to someone who wants to be at Lambeau lol
The roofs are about the NFL owners making more money after the football season is over, even if they don't own the stadium. The NFL is forcing the owners to sign stadium leases with local governments to obtain revenue from off-season events occurring at the stadium like concerts.
Now that the seasons over and we know Love didn't finish 3 and 13 I guess have the stadium won't end up empty. LOL You clearly do not really get this fan base to think we could ever want a roof on our beloved stadium. Any one who lives in a Northern climate such as ours and participates in any kind of outdoor sports is well prepared for the weather. If you are at a Packer game and are cold you did not dress properly. They do sell winter clothing made to withstand well below 0° these days. This year they showed the temp at Miama at 110° during a game. Even sitting around naked won't fix that. At least we can put some damn cloths on. So after Love takes us to a couple more Super Bowels come back and tell us how we need a roof again.
Taking the weather out of the equation. Green Bay doesn’t have the infrastructure to hold the Super Bowl. Not enough restaurants, hotels, airports capacity, etc.
This guys talking out of his ass😂 great entertainment. But the thing with Lambeau is it’s built to watch the football game. They got the 3rd most seats of the 31 stadiums and beer… lots of it, and also a winning team… nothing more you could want more as a true Wisconsinite. Plus for the social you got title town across the street so it’s a win win
Thank you, someone gets it. Having been to multiple games a year especially late in the season. Once it gets below 10° you don’t even notice a difference in temp
6:15 not exactly, look at the football stadiums in the EPL. Due to increasing capacity, the roof heights for each stadium are all ocee the place. Ie liverpool, man city, man u, newcastle, etc etc. Not pretty but its possible
As far as this guy who's talking goes tell me you're a wimp without telling me you're a wimp! You know one thing you won't hear people at lambeau complaining about....the cold. This Stadium along with Wrigley and Fenway are not going anywhere ever. They will just be remodeled every 10 to 20 years to keep up.
Yeah i would have to disagree....there will never be a empty seat in GB. They sold out games in the 70s and 80s. That was the worst period in Packers history
The problem with people is their wimps. I was there in the 60s when I was a kid freezing cold with global warming. It’s a lot warmer than it used to be and football is meant to be played outside all these domed places make me sick. How could Minnesota be the Vikings when Vikings lived outside And were animals skins People complaining about this I don’t think so. It’s part of the experience you don’t like the experience go to Detroit go to Minneapolis go to Vegas.
Its perfect the way it is, and the cold weather? Well, we call it the frozen tundra for a reason. Lambeau field is iconic, the history of the team is so unique like no other professional team. I wouldn't mind ditching the bleachers for something new though... it would really change the sky view
The expansions have ruined the atmosphere. It changed the stadium for the worse by changing the crowd that now attends. It's all upper class rich snobs that go now, back in the day it was a working man's team. They keep polishing a turd with Lambeau, and a lot of people liked that previous turd. You can keep adding seats and 4k video boards but the stadium is still 10F at kickoff half the year...most locals won't go now, not worth the hassle and prices.
@@chriskay1449 Their season ticket holder list is so long because of the financial opportunity lol. With Love and everything tickets are cheap this year, in a playoff year you can easily double your money on season tickets if not more regardless of seat location. There is nothing at all blue collar about the Packers or most of the people attending anymore. 99% of the state hasn’t ever sat in a suite at Lambeau but it’s where half the expansion money always goes. Btw my family are original season ticket holders green pack since 1960, tickets are row two south endzone. Atmosphere is ruined. It was a historic stadium and they should have kept it that way or started over.
I would like Green Bay Packers to have the new stadium 🏟 with a retractable and modern roof with a capacity of 78,000 or 80,000 people and they also build a great Packers museum
Your overexaggeration of cold temps is hilarious. It rarely gets as cold as you claim. You might get one game every few seasons and usually in January for a playoff game. This video is a complete joke.

Lambeau wont change. Most Packer fans like me dont care about the weather. It adds to the atmosphere. Lambeau has another 100 years. The fans care more about the team than the amenities. If you provide beer, bathrooms and the team, we're good. Also, they wont change the bleachers anytime soon. Considering they've sold out the last 50+ years, it would make little sense to lose 15,000 seats
Think it would lose more! It currently seats 81k if they added regular seats, it would go down to 65k capacity
We do care we LOVE IT
Players don't like playing in the cold.
@@blahblah5603 doesn't matter about the players. It matters about the money. The Packers make lots of it playing outdoors. No reason to change

Dang the Packers game went from 1981 to 2021?
The stadium isn’t the best. It probably has the best environment and is probably the most iconic. That’s why they probably won’t destroy it
Lambeau was never considered a bad stadium. It is a simple bowl - Plain, yes, bad, no.
As a packer fan that goes to a few games a year. I’ve never heard of a fan that goes to games complain about the temp. If you want to go to a game in Dec/Jan that’s what you sign up for.

Seriously? Lambeau Field? Why? It’s the greatest NFL stadium. It’s fine the way it is. If the Packers want a new stadium, just move them to Milwaukee.
Fun fact: they used to play a few games a year down in Milwaukee back in the day.
It's good for you, maybe not the people that live there

Exactly… you can always get warmer but you can’t get colder. I swear it’s like people never heard of hand warmers before…
When does it get hot in the nfl season 😑
Nobody is talking about fall in Wisconsin. Watching a game in Sept. and October is unbeateble! Night games with the stars about! Perfect! The best!
They won't put in individual seats as they would lose 15 to 20k in capacity.

Just went to my first game there on Thursday. I love it
The location, the city, the atmosphere, the museum. It's football heaven
Lambeau is Lambeau but we must take Lambeau to greater heights. Make it the Holy grail of football for years to come.
Lambeau is a temple to football Gods. Along with a few other stadiums. Some college, some pro. Football is a fall to early winter sport. Weather, rain, snow, sleet, sun or wind is part of the game.

I lived in that neighborhood next to Lambeau! A shame it was in the 70's when packers were horrible.... went to the shopko 4th of July fireworks in Lambeau every year....
Its perfect already. Don't do what the bears did. Yes I've been to lambeau numerous packers games. Get the sargento cheese curds. Your first cold game is your baptism. When players see fans with their shirts off in -12 a mentality is born. Ill never forget mine. It was glorious. Covid game against the rams. You should have seen me. More fan than man. G string face paint.
As a season ticket holder, cold is just part of it. We definitely are not as bothered by it as you seem to think. I don’t hear anyone complain about it. People who don’t want to be in the cold just don’t go later in the year and selling out is never an issue.
Go pack Go
Go Pack, Go Brewers, Go Bucks
Go Badgers
I know Green Bay. I've known it my entire life. The Green Bay Packers, Inc. leaving or replacing Lambeau Field is .01%.
Financing renovations of Lambeau have always been tricky. When Lambeau underwent a massive inside and out renovations in 2001-2002 (including the Atrium), the financing was a .01% Brown County sales tax for 15 years that the Wisconsin Legislature had to approve. When the south endzone had it's expansion in 2012, GBP got approval to sell more shares of stock.
The most likely scenario for Lambeau Field, would be similar seating expansion in the north endzone similar to the south, and quite possibly replacing all the bleachers with modern chart back seats, which would allow a capacity expansion, but not as big of capacity increase due to chair box seats taking more seat space than the outdated bleachers.
And for all cases in Wisconsin sports, financing is always a challenge. It was for the Lambeau renovations, it was with building Fiserv Forum, and most recently the renovations for AmFam Field. But, if there's one thing clear. Here in Wisconsin, people take their sports seriously.
Lambeau has better views than Fenway or wrigley. No poles No bad seats
Lambeau Field will still be around for years.
The southern addition was put in due to the winds. When they remodeled the stadium in the early 2000's they test and tested but they couldn't predict that odd winds that happened on occasion. They decided to enclose it.
But completely closing it again makes it even harder to predict. Mason Crosby has talked about this that with the stadium enclosed the winds now swirl and change many times over the course of a game.
@@chriskay1449 true, but the benefits outweigh the cons. It also affected deep passes. The new addition also can cut down on the amount of snow that gets blown in.
@@chriskay1449 but the extremes of said winds are far far lower
A person who lives in Wisconsin they had that played. No one complains about Lambeau field and the cold, and if they do most people Wisconsin don’t consider the real Packer fans that’s just how it is we don’t mind it so him adding those points to me are very new.
It's impossible to put a retractable roof on Lambeau field and the chief's stadium. If they could do it the cost would be over 2 billion dollars. The chief's stadium is a massive bowl adding a roof would be crazy expensive just as well build new stadium.
It’s not impossible…
I live in a Suburb of Green Bay and I do indeed agree it gets cold here in the winter months sometimes October
Really it gets cold in Wisconsin in winter.... well no shit
I've been to Lambeau quite a few times, and a lot of Packers fans adore Lambeau Field, and the people up top know that as fact. I don't think the Packers are going to change Lambeau for a while now.
I just hope Gillette Stadium doesn’t go down anytime soon, if it does, I need to be at the final game whenever that comes
Leave it the way it is
I agree
Thanks
if they renovate they will probably the update the bowl and make it a bit more new but keep the bleachers
There's NBA expansion team in Pittsburgh: the Pirates, the Penguins & the Steelers!🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛
Shhhh
NO there is not.
No NBA expansion for Pittsburgh, There’s other cities that will get it first before Pittsburgh.
Seattle, Las Vegas and Dallas will get one in the near future.
@@RainbowDemon069 Dallas already has a team.
Murphy said replacing the bleachers with individual seating would cut capacity by 10,000 to 12,000.
Lambeau Field will always be the home of the Green Bay Packers
when they got their last renovation done i think they said their next renovation will be the suites level. i would tear those down and replace them with ones like michigan has that have the glass angled so that it put more fan noise back onto the field
Doubtful as they just finished a multi year renovation of the suites like 4-5 years ago, and they changed things like the glass so they could all be opened.
The people the hate it can suck it up!! Lambeau will never get a roof
As a packers fan i will support them in another teams dome im not sittin in that cold
Lambeau will not change. Minnesota changed especially when Bud Grant was at Minnesota at the Met, he literally believed in Norse mythology to get through the cold. They were great in the cold up to the point which is the reason they could never win a super bowl. The Packers were also great in the cold because no one else was able to catch up to that type of play until in recent years. Playing games in December in Green Bay wasn't clearly a thing until the 90s.
4:05 it was 10-9
RFK in DC is finally getting demolished. Most likely spot for new Redskins stadium in my mind
I agree
No one here ever talks about how the players like playing in -10 degree weather, trust me, THEY DO NOT LIKE IT.
I am a Packers fan since 1971. I would be all for a retractable roof over Lambeau or a new stadium that has that.
So fricken sue me, what are you gonna do about it??
Viking used to play outdoors.
Metropolitan Stadium was like playing in a hurricane when the winds blew. Bud Grant used the wind as an asset. Tarkenton was famous for using the wind to his advantage.
I respectfully disagree about the possible attendance issues due to the cold. The Packers have an enormously long season ticket waiting list. It is common for people to put their kids on the waiting list as soon as they are born... If Lambeau made it through the 70's and 80's then they easily could go through another long stretch. Look at the Brewers *Wink* baseball's smallest TV market which manages to pull in great attendance (They don't have many bandwagon fans like the Packers). I don't believe weather to be much of a factor at all.
No question, a blizzard bowl is the best experience. As a Packer fan, it is a must to keep it the way it is... It be very awkward to tailgate for hours at Lambeau to go into a dome lol. Tailgating is such a big culture for Lambeau and a dome would kill the experience. Us Packer fans embrace the cold when you wake up to it every single day. The drinking culture makes the cold more bearable lol. I dare you to look up the drunkest counties in the U.S in proximity to Green Bay...
This guy either doesn’t know or completely forgot to mention that Lambeau had a renovation this summer.
Also, I have no idea who is complaining about the cold? You mention that a few times in your video, making it seem like there are many fans that complain about this. You’ll have to show some real data about those complaints. As a life long fan and someone who goes to the late December/January games at Lambeau when it is below freezing, the cold is literally the experience of Lambeau field! For the fans that honestly can’t stand the cold, stay at home and give your ticket to someone who wants to be at Lambeau lol
What’s the deal with all the roofs? This ain’t arena football
The roofs are about the NFL owners making more money after the football season is over, even if they don't own the stadium. The NFL is forcing the owners to sign stadium leases with local governments to obtain revenue from off-season events occurring at the stadium like concerts.
Brett Favre and Bart Starr didn't have problems playing in the cold at Lambeau.
Correct
ROdgers didn't either. He is taking one game and projecting it to it happening every December and January every season.
if your in the midwest or northeast its stupid to have a dome
Now that the seasons over and we know Love didn't finish 3 and 13 I guess have the stadium won't end up empty. LOL You clearly do not really get this fan base to think we could ever want a roof on our beloved stadium. Any one who lives in a Northern climate such as ours and participates in any kind of outdoor sports is well prepared for the weather. If you are at a Packer game and are cold you did not dress properly. They do sell winter clothing made to withstand well below 0° these days. This year they showed the temp at Miama at 110° during a game. Even sitting around naked won't fix that. At least we can put some damn cloths on. So after Love takes us to a couple more Super Bowels come back and tell us how we need a roof again.
A retractable roof would be perfect
Similar to miller Park, open and close as seen fit
If ever there’s a change it’ll take a damn presidential order
It’s a historic stadium not to mention every game is a sellout. It’s ridiculous the Packers don’t need a new stadium
Could they add Heated Seats For the Fans?
Omg
No. Changing the seating bowl to seats would drop capacity by 10-12k seats.
🐐🐐
The Super Bowl will never come to Green Bay in this weather.
Taking the weather out of the equation. Green Bay doesn’t have the infrastructure to hold the Super Bowl. Not enough restaurants, hotels, airports capacity, etc.
The Super Bowl will never come period. They do not have the infrastrcuture with hotels and things to accomidate it.
The only reason I haven't been there is because it's always sold out. They should keep it as it
They already have standing room only areas above each endzones…
This guys talking out of his ass😂 great entertainment. But the thing with Lambeau is it’s built to watch the football game. They got the 3rd most seats of the 31 stadiums and beer… lots of it, and also a winning team… nothing more you could want more as a true Wisconsinite. Plus for the social you got title town across the street so it’s a win win
Do not charge it their is indoor seating that’s not box seats
They just put in new mega torn screen
They’ll never change lambeau -20 really isn’t that cold while watching the game
Thank you, someone gets it. Having been to multiple games a year especially late in the season. Once it gets below 10° you don’t even notice a difference in temp
Replace lambeau field are you kidding me most packer fans dont want another stadium
6:15 not exactly, look at the football stadiums in the EPL. Due to increasing capacity, the roof heights for each stadium are all ocee the place. Ie liverpool, man city, man u, newcastle, etc etc. Not pretty but its possible
No one is putting a roof on this place ever
WRONG the Packers will always be sold out. No show are about as rare as tickets becoming available.
as a packers fan. we don't care about the weather
Cold usually isn't a big problem if you stuff a couple extra shooters of Jaeger or Rumpleminze down your pants 🤣🤣🤣
6:08 just look up manchester city's etihad stadium
Lambeau needs a retractable roof and a massive heating system
No it doesn't. People need to stop being soft.
Never heard a single packer fan complain about the cold. Don’t go to a game late in the season if it’s too cold.
No
Bro that’s the point Lambeau is the best stadium there’s a reason it’s called the frozen tundra
Packers will never leave Lambeau also will never change the stadium beat stadium in the nfl
3:51 what the heck is that picture
How would Lambeau Field be if they were to ever host a Superbowl there
It would never happen. Even if the weather was good, there is not enough hotels and airport capacity nearby.
@johnsamoilis6379 yeah you're right
The Draft next year is going to be the biggest event that Green Bay can pull off at Lambeau Field and that will be awesome
Roofs and turf suck. No way the NFL would give KC a Super Bowl too
You sound like you are not from Green Bay.
As far as this guy who's talking goes tell me you're a wimp without telling me you're a wimp! You know one thing you won't hear people at lambeau complaining about....the cold. This Stadium along with Wrigley and Fenway are not going anywhere ever. They will just be remodeled every 10 to 20 years to keep up.
Post ur fantasy football videos
Those are fake packer fans that don’t like the cold. Difference between Rodger fans vs packer fans. Lambeau IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE
Yeah i would have to disagree....there will never be a empty seat in GB. They sold out games in the 70s and 80s. That was the worst period in Packers history
The problem with people is their wimps. I was there in the 60s when I was a kid freezing cold with global warming. It’s a lot warmer than it used to be and football is meant to be played outside all these domed places make me sick. How could Minnesota be the Vikings when Vikings lived outside And were animals skins People complaining about this I don’t think so. It’s part of the experience you don’t like the experience go to Detroit go to Minneapolis go to Vegas.
bro, almost to 50k subs. what a time to be alive
oh shit thts wild. i subbed at 21-23k didnt even notice his growth
I hope not, it would ruin the Stadium
This is just "bitch eating crackers" toward lip smacking, but please edit out your lip smacks. Otherwise, I love your content and come back daily.
I say you dig down, gut the bowl, build a steeper bowl & all bleacher seats are replaced with folding stadium chairs.
Not going to happen. THey cannot dig any deeper and replacing the bleachers will drop capacity by 10-12000.
If you take out the original bowl and the bleachers then there would be nothing left of the original stadium. We’d have another Soldier Field
@@bretwhiffen3530 you can keep the surrounding structure
Its perfect the way it is, and the cold weather? Well, we call it the frozen tundra for a reason. Lambeau field is iconic, the history of the team is so unique like no other professional team. I wouldn't mind ditching the bleachers for something new though... it would really change the sky view
He like putting a dome over Fenway Park or Wrigley Field. Disgusting
The expansions have ruined the atmosphere. It changed the stadium for the worse by changing the crowd that now attends. It's all upper class rich snobs that go now, back in the day it was a working man's team. They keep polishing a turd with Lambeau, and a lot of people liked that previous turd. You can keep adding seats and 4k video boards but the stadium is still 10F at kickoff half the year...most locals won't go now, not worth the hassle and prices.
Wrong. Their season ticket holder base is still very much a working man's team. You really have no clue what you are talking about.
@@chriskay1449 Their season ticket holder list is so long because of the financial opportunity lol. With Love and everything tickets are cheap this year, in a playoff year you can easily double your money on season tickets if not more regardless of seat location. There is nothing at all blue collar about the Packers or most of the people attending anymore. 99% of the state hasn’t ever sat in a suite at Lambeau but it’s where half the expansion money always goes. Btw my family are original season ticket holders green pack since 1960, tickets are row two south endzone. Atmosphere is ruined. It was a historic stadium and they should have kept it that way or started over.
Buffalo stadium looks ulgy
I would like Green Bay Packers to have the new stadium 🏟 with a retractable and modern roof with a capacity of 78,000 or 80,000 people and they also build a great Packers museum
No not gonna happen
The cold is what gives it character
Not going to happen. People need to stop with the roof nonsense.
going to be seeing a lot of empty seats? thats funny.
Add chair backs or just replace those bench seats altogether.
The bleachers are what makes Lambeau unique and they’re part of the charm.
Purchase one for $15. Good to go!
Your overexaggeration of cold temps is hilarious. It rarely gets as cold as you claim. You might get one game every few seasons and usually in January for a playoff game. This video is a complete joke.
One reason why the green bay packers want to remodel Lambeau field is to have the superbowl.
No Superbowl is coming to Green Bay. They have a Jacksonville situation. Not enough hotels, and that's taking the weather out of the equation.
They will never get a Super Bowl as there is not enough hotels, restaurants and airport capacity to hold one.
