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.
