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.
