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.

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 🙂

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.

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
