Does ANybody have information on the RIng of Honor? Has been there since the stadium opened? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gangster Octopus (talk • contribs) 18:17, 8 November 2022 (UTC)

Why the heck is Lambeau Leap redirected to Lambeau Field? They are pretty much unrelated.--Aviper2k7 05:29, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Lambeau Leap was subject to a deletion debate here, of which redirection was the outcome. HollyAm 06:22, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up, it was bugging me--Aviper2k7 06:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

This article claims that the Ice Bowl was the coldest game in NFL history.....as does the Freezer Bowl section of Cincinnati Bengals article.....This should probably be addressed....

The Freezer Bowl was "the coldest temperature in NFL history in terms of wind chill." The Ice Bowl, on the other hand, was coldest in terms of air temperature. Since the Freezer Bowl article makes that distinction, all references to the Ice Bowl should note that it was the coldest in terms of ambient (i.e. "air") temp.

Game	Air Temp.	Wind Chill
Freezer Bowl	-9°F	-59°F
Ice Bowl	-13°F	-48°F

In Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity Jeff and his puppet Walter joke about Lambeau Field:

Walter: And another thing--Green Bay Packers' stadium... what's it called again?

Jeff: Lambeau Field.

Walter: Lambeau Field--no roof! Hello! How many weekends during football season is good weather in Green Bay? That would be... none. Note to self: Build a fricking roof! We have the technology!

Graph

I think it would be interesting to include a line graph comparing the seating capacity of the Packer's stadiums, with the total population of Green Bay, Wis., at various times. Josh-Levin@ieee.org (talk) 02:41, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Playing surface?

I think listing the playing surface as "Grassmaster" in the Infobox is misleading. Grassmaster is not a traditional artificial turf - it is a series of artificial fibers reinforcing natural grass. On a Grassmaster field, artificial fibers constitute 3% of the surface, and the company itself considers the resulting surface to still be natural grass[1]. In the case of Lambeau Field, the playing surface is actually Kentucky bluegrass[2] I hope this revision makes it more clear. SixFourThree (talk) 20:03, 25 January 2011 (UTC)SixFourThree

Frozen Tundra

Hi, someone either copy and pasted a section from here to the 1967 NFL Championship Game, or vice versa. I changed the grammar around in the Ice Bowl article and put it down in the errata section under the Legacy section.

Can someone please advise if Lambeau Field is nicknamed, The Frozen Tundra or the Frozen Tundra so I can go back over there and fix that article. I have access to 10 books or so that surround the Ice Bowl and after I update the article with all the relevant facts about the heating system employed in 1967 at Lambeau Field, I will then return and put in some inline citations here.

I do not even think that stuff belongs in the Ice Bowl article, maybe just one line like ...lambeau field got its moniker from the ice bowl game. 66.234.33.8 (talk) 17:36, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Also, the term tundra apparently was first associated with the Sports Illustrated article by the immortal Tex Maule when describing the Ice Bowl game. (I think it is the very last word in the article) 66.234.33.8 (talk) 18:00, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

No one has shown a source, or notable source, that claims Lambeau field was alleged to have gotten its nickname from The Greatest Challenge173.52.5.48 (talk) 00:39, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

My bad, Steve Sabol, in Davis' book on Rozelle, implies that people attributed the frozen tundra to John Facenda in The Greatest Challenge on p. 159. I removed citation needed and cited it accordingly. 173.52.5.48 (talk) 23:50, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Lambeau Leap

There seems to be a disproportionate amount of this section dedicated to describing opponents doing the Lambeau Leap. I'm not entirely sure why these moments of novelty are worth mentioning in the number that they are. Perhaps a slight rewrite is warrented that focuses at least equal space to notable Packer leaps. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Levnclf (talk • contribs) 23:32, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Holiday Events

I was thinking about possibly adding "Holiday Events" to the article. The following information I have gathered is:

A Halloween celebration, “Spooktacular Fun,” that includes live music, food, and performances from the like of magicians, clowns, and jugglers.

A December themed occasion, Festival of Lights, that highlights a visit from Santa Claus, decorating cookies, choirs signing, and many festive lights.

“Project Play 60” is a day in March that concentrates on getting kids out of the house to appreciate non-strenuous physical movement. More than 20,000 people attend the Atrium and enjoy activities. </ref>http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-press-release/article-1/Project-Play-60-set-for-March-4-in-Lambeau-Field-Atrium/93ed658c-7890-4027-a529-4735b1783311</ref>

Should I go about adding this information? If so, where should I add it in the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmparr (talk • contribs) 16:26, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

It's an encyclopedia article, not a fansite. Those don't seem encyclopedic. Do you think Britannica would include them? 32.218.42.24 (talk) 16:25, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
