Lambeau Field is home of the Green Bay Packers and has been host to many a historic football moments. The Packers have occupied the stadium since 1957 which is currently the longest streak of continuous occupancy in a stadium in the National Football League. This 72,569 seat stadium is the epitome of a home field advantage. From 1992-2003 the Packers are 79-19 (.806 winning percentage) at Lambeau Field which is the highest home winning percentage in that period in the entire NFL. The team also has a ridiculous 12-1-0 record at home in the postseason.

Since it’s the oldest stadium in the NFL it has had to go through many facelifts to stay competitive with the rest of the league. Since 1961 the field has gone through eight different renovations, most of which were to add on more seating or just add smaller things like more bathrooms. The stadium started out at a capacity of 32,150 and in spite of more than doubling the capacity the team still utilizes the bowl seating of the original stadium. The most recent, and best, expansion of Lambeau Field is the Lambeau Field Atrium. The Atrium features a number of things that had never been available at the Field until now. The 25,000 square foot Packers Hall of Fame is the main appeal of the Atrium at Lambeau Field and is open year round. It features plaques of all 130 Packers’ members of the Hall of Fame, a recreation of coach Vince Lombardi’s office and for the kids, a place where they can run around and experience what it’s like to do the Lambeau Leap, throw passes and kick field goals first hand. The Lambeau Field Atrium also features Curly’s Pub named after Mr. Lambeau himself. Curly’s Pub is a mammoth restaurant that overlooks the giant likenesses of Lambeau and Lombardi outside the stadium. The place looks like the Packers Hall of Fame exploded and landed in the restaurant. Almost everything in the restaurant is historically connected to the Packers. Even the wait staff is trained in Packers knowledge.
