Lambeau Field attracts fans from all over the world to Green Bay each football season and is often the first introduction to the city that tourists seek. Since its renovation in 2003, the Packers' stadium has become a year-round cultural center that invites visitors to take part in a living legacy. Vince Lombardi once said, "The achievements of an organization are the results of the combined efforts of each individual." In the spirit of teamwork, he stands symbolically at the main entrance of Lambeau Field, in 14 feet of bronze, ready to welcome fans to Green Bay's fabled soil where they can do their part to carry the Packers' successes into the future.
Next to Lombardi's statue a matching bronze likeness of Curly Lambeau points fans to a main attraction of his stadium, the Lambeau Field Atrium. Recently added to the east end of the field, the Packers' Atrium, sponsored by Miller Brewing Co., encourages visitors to take advantage of five stories of Packers experiences that don't require Green Bay Packer tickets. The Atrium's glass entrance transports tourists back to the glory years of Green Bay football. Its design, featuring exposed ducts, vents and antique elevator gears, infuses guests with a sense of nostalgia while making them feel part of the team. Surrounded by life-sized black and white photos of Packers greats, fans feel a part of the legacy and the game as they tread on their very own gridiron floor with numbered yard lines and a Packer end zone.
A soundtrack for warriors and the scent of stadium food coax visitors to explore the Atrium's many attractions. Fans can eat like Packers at a variety of restaurants, including Curly's Pub, or imitate the players by gearing up at the Packers Pro Shop and sharpening their skills at the interactive game zone. After sampling some of these more modern activities, guests can participate in a history lesson by purchasing one-of-a-kind Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame tickets. Located in the basement of the Atrium, the Hall of Fame is the pulse of the improved Lambeau Field; it is the place where the Packers' future is fueled by its past.
The Packers Hall of Fame was the first of its kind in the NFL. Originally opened in 1976, it was the only football tribute at the time devoted to one organization. Conceived by William L. Brault in 1966, the Hall of Fame began humbly as a temporary display of Packers memorabilia shown at Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena. Brault's artifacts were officially given a home 10 years later when they were formally dedicated in a ceremony that welcomed President Gerald R. Ford. Until recently, the Packers Hall of Fame remained located a few blocks from the stadium, so when the renovation occurred the Packers seized the opportunity to unite the team with its past and reopened the upgraded Hall of Fame in Lambeau Field.
Immersed in 77 exhibits depicting 80 years of history, visitors to the Hall of Fame learn about the Packers' past through the words and voices of the people who composed it. Standing among the life-sized recreated scenes of the Ice Bowl, Lambeau Leap and post-practice bike rides, fans have the chance to relive Packers' moments from the perspectives of the players. Among some of the Hall of Fame's attractions are a fans' section, a children's area and a locker room immortalizing the 20 players honored in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In all, 130 members of the Packers organization have been inducted into Lambeau Field's hall. The Packers' passionate collage of stories is sure to inspire even the newest visitor to their underground world.
