For the second consecutive season, Lambeau Field finished first in Sports Illustrated's NFL stadium rankings.

In September the magazine asked readers to complete a 19-question online survey ranking their hometown stadium and broke down the answers in the categories of affordability and food, tailgating, team quality, atmosphere and accessibility.

Lambeau was the only stadium in the league to finish in the Top 5 in each of those areas, including first-place finishes in both affordability and food and atmosphere. The five categories were weighed equally.

Lambeau Field was ranked second in the NFL in tailgating behind Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo.

Sports Illustrated had more than 12,000 people fill out the survey, and a third of those submitted came from season-ticket holders. The average number of games attended by all respondents was 3.23 per season.

Lambeau field is amazing. Ought to go there once.

Looks like they didn't even add in 'History' or 'Culture' or anything. That would pretty much make the field a sure 1st.

Instead of "Head To Head" or "Conference/Divisional Record." the NFL should just use these rankings to break any ties at the end of the regular season. : )

What is sad.. is some people never make it there.. and that is just plain wrong.

Like a game at Wrigley Field.. a place a person should attend if they are a sports fan.

But Lambeau is better.. it is minus a sucky Chicago team. :lol:

Lambeau Field is great even if there is not a game going on.

I offered to take a friend of mine who is a Bear's fan "Mecca" for the Packer-Bears game. He just couldn't work things out this year. I told him that he has to see a game in GB once in his lifetime.

You guys are going to hate me for this and probably ask how I am a Packers fan....I have never been to Lambeau Field. Spent 4 years at a private college and I have so much loan debt I can't afford to ever go to a game, nor could I in the past. Bet it is real great.

Its always the most fun when there is a game, but its great even without a game. I make it there as much as possibile. I just go there, and wander around and hang out. Doing nothing, except looking...and enjoying.

TheKanataThrilla (9-Aug) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.
