Packers ask for fan input on expanding Lambeau Field

by Michael David Smith

The Green Bay Packers have 81,000 people on their season-ticket waiting list, and Lambeau Field has a maximum capacity of 72,928. So even if all the season-ticket holders were to give up their seats, there still wouldn't be enough room for everyone who would want to take their places.

With that in mind, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to add some seats to Lambeau Field -- something the Packers are reportedly considering.

The Associated Press reports that the Packers will hold focus groups in Milwaukee and Green Bay to discuss expanding Lambeau Field. The Packers sent an invitation to certain fans asking them to share "thoughts and opinions on possible new seating opportunities at an expanded Lambeau Field."

That doesn't necessarily mean an expansion is going to happen any time soon, however, as a Packers spokesman said no plans to make changes to Lambeau Field are imminent.

Lambeau's most recent expansion was completed in 2003.

With the struggling economy, and the pending lockout, I think this is the last thing we need to worry about.

At least were not concerned about getting a new stadium like the queens are.

More seating = more fans = more money into the franchise, i like the idea. And if it's being brought up that atleast tells us were not in total recession freakout mode anymore.

We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.

If they do upgrade does that mean they will be selling more shares? I would love to become a shareholder!

IMO, I like that dallas thing where you pay to stand during the game. Lets thoes fans who can't pay the big bucks get in not to mention it would make the atmosphere feel a bit more old school.

As a season ticket-holder I will go on record as saying I like the idea.
Let's get 100,000 people in there.

What's the population of Green Bay these days? I think the stadium capacity should match the cities population. Each year they can add a few more seats to keep up with population growth 🙂

#10

The population of Green Bay as of 2008 was estimated to be 101,025, down from the 2000 of 102,313. Either number would make for one ginormous stadium.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (2h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (4h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (4h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (4h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (4h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (4h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (4h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (4h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (4h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (5h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (6h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (6h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (6h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (6h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (6h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (7h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (7h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (7h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (8h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (8h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (8h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (8h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (10h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (10h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (10h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (10h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (11h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (11h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (11h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (11h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (11h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (11h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (11h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (11h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (11h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (11h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (11h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (11h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (11h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (11h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (11h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (12h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
