Live Cameras Around Lambeau Field
Monitor real-time traffic on I-41, WIS 172, I-43, and the Lombardi Avenue approaches before a Green Bay Packers home game. Lambeau has no parking garages — which is exactly why Green Bay legalised parking on the lawn. Free live feeds 24/7.
VIEW LAMBEAU CAMERAS →Lambeau Field opened on 29 September 1957 — Vice President Richard Nixon presided over the dedication — and has been the Packers' home ever since, making it the oldest continuously operating stadium in the NFL. At 81,441 it is the second-largest NFL venue. The Packers passed the all-time continuous-use record in 2007, in their 51st season at the field, overtaking the Bears' run at Wrigley Field from 1921 to 1970.
One clarification, because these two facts get conflated constantly: the Packers are publicly held (a nonprofit corporation with a vast shareholder base), but Lambeau Field is owned by the City of Green Bay. The shareholders own the team, not the stadium.

Lawn Parking Is Not a Workaround. It's Infrastructure.
Green Bay has no parking garages near Lambeau Field. What it has instead is a city ordinance that formally permits parking on grass citywide on Packer game days until midnight.
That is the tell. A city doesn't legalise lawn parking by accident — it does so because residents selling driveway and yard space is genuinely load-bearing infrastructure for moving 80,000 people into a small city. The Packers' own parking page confirms it, noting that "numerous private property owners in the surrounding area offer parking at varying prices," and — unusually for an NFL team — points fans toward free residential street parking within walking distance.
The rules that come with it:
- No parking within 10 feet of hydrants, 15 feet of crosswalks, or 4 feet of driveways
- No blocking sidewalks
- Streets posted "NO PARKING DAY OF PACKER GAME" must be cleared at least 4 hours before kickoff
- Under Green Bay Municipal Code 34-11, it is illegal to reserve on-street parking with cones, chairs, or grills
That last one draws the line precisely: residents can sell their lawn. They cannot sell the street.
Approach Corridors to Lambeau
I-41
The primary approach cams
I-41 is the main north-south route to Green Bay. WisDOT names the I-41 interchanges at Oneida Street, Lombardi Avenue, WIS 172, and I-43 as the delay points on game days.
WIS 172
Eastern approach cams
The connector from I-43 across to I-41, serving traffic arriving from the east and from Milwaukee via the lakeshore route.
I-43
Milwaukee and lakeshore approach cams
The route from Milwaukee, Sheboygan, and Manitowoc. WisDOT's alternate interchanges: I-43/Mason St or I-43/Manitowoc Rd.
Lombardi Avenue and Oneida Street
Stadium approach cams
The immediate stadium streets — and both close on game days. Lombardi Avenue closes at kickoff between Ridge Road and Oneida Street.
Game-Day Road Closures
Closures run from 4 hours before kickoff to 2 hours after:
- Oneida Street closed — Lombardi Avenue to Mike McCarthy Way
- Armed Forces Drive closed — at Oneida
- At kickoff, Lombardi Avenue closes — Ridge Road to Oneida Street
Post-game, three streets convert to one-way:
- Mike McCarthy Way — eastbound (Oneida to Ashland)
- Oneida Street — northbound (Lombardi to W. Mason)
- Ridge Road — northbound (Morris to W. Mason)
Drop-off is at Shadow Lane and Frank Street, where police assist with the crossing — but it is explicitly not suitable for post-game pickup because of congestion. Rideshare pickup is at Mike McCarthy Way and Holmgren Way, exiting via the east or south gates.

VIEW LIVE CAMS →Parking and Transit
All lots surrounding Lambeau are sold out to season parking pass holders. Individual-game passes are available through PMI for Lot 15 in the Titletown district (no tailgating there). Non-reserved ADA parking runs $50, cashless, first-come, in Lot 4 on Lombardi Avenue and Lot 7 on Valley View Road. Standard stalls are 9x18 feet only; buses and RVs go through PMI.
Green Bay Metro runs four free game-day bus routes for all home games, starting 5 hours before kickoff, departing Lambeau every 30 minutes, and running roughly 3 hours post-game. Lamers offers fee-based service from Greater Green Bay and selected Wisconsin and Michigan locations.
Tailgating is confined to a 9x6-foot space directly behind your vehicle. Charcoal and propane are fine; wood fires and turkey fryers are banned.
WisDOT's published alternate interchanges, if the primary ones are backed up:
| Direction | Alternates |
|---|---|
| East | I-43/Mason St or I-43/Manitowoc Rd; WIS 172/Webster Ave or WIS 172/County GV |
| South of Lambeau | I-41/Main Ave or I-41/Scheuring Rd |

BUILD YOUR ROUTE →The Frozen Tundra
The nickname traces to the 1967 Ice Bowl, played at −15°F (−26°C) — popularised by Tex Maule's Sports Illustrated piece and NFL Films narrator Bill Woodson. It stuck because it kept being accurate.
The field itself is no longer frozen tundra in any literal sense. An underground antifreeze-filled pipe system heats it (installed 1997, upgraded 2006), the surface is Kentucky bluegrass with SISGrass hybrid reinforcement (2018), and an artificial grow-lighting system based on Dutch rose-greenhouse technology — tested in 2010 — runs from October into early December to extend grass growth.
The roads, of course, are not heated. December and January Packers games mean snow and ice on I-41 and WIS 172, and a walk from lawn parking in genuinely dangerous cold. Check the cameras.
Non-Packers Events
Lambeau hosted the 2025 NFL Draft (April 24-26) alongside the adjacent Titletown District, the Frozen Tundra Hockey Classic outdoor hockey in 2006, college football (Wisconsin vs LSU in 2016), and concerts from Kenny Chesney, Billy Joel, and Paul McCartney. It also hosts the Packers' annual shareholder meetings — a genuinely unusual line item for an NFL stadium.

Can you really park on someone's lawn at Lambeau Field?
Yes, and it's formally sanctioned. Green Bay has no parking garages near Lambeau, and the city ordinance explicitly permits parking on grass citywide on Packer game days until midnight. The Packers' own parking page confirms that numerous private property owners in the surrounding area offer parking at varying prices. The rules: no parking within 10 feet of hydrants, 15 feet of crosswalks, or 4 feet of driveways, and no blocking sidewalks. Under Green Bay Municipal Code 34-11 it is illegal to reserve on-street parking with cones, chairs, or grills — residents can sell their lawn, not the street.
What roads close on Packers game days?
From 4 hours before kickoff to 2 hours after: Oneida Street closes between Lombardi Avenue and Mike McCarthy Way, and Armed Forces Drive closes at Oneida. At kickoff, Lombardi Avenue closes between Ridge Road and Oneida Street. Post-game, three streets convert to one-way: Mike McCarthy Way eastbound (Oneida to Ashland), Oneida Street northbound (Lombardi to W. Mason), and Ridge Road northbound (Morris to W. Mason).
Is there parking at Lambeau Field?
All lots surrounding Lambeau are sold out to season parking pass holders. Individual-game passes are available through PMI for Lot 15 in the Titletown district (no tailgating). Non-reserved ADA parking is $50, cashless, first-come, in Lot 4 on Lombardi Avenue and Lot 7 on Valley View Road. For everyone else it's lawn parking, free residential street parking within walking distance, or one of Green Bay Metro's four free game-day bus routes, which start 5 hours before kickoff and run about 3 hours post-game.
Who owns Lambeau Field?
The City of Green Bay owns Lambeau Field; the Green Bay Packers operate it. This gets conflated with the Packers' famous ownership structure — the team is a publicly held nonprofit corporation with a large shareholder base, but the shareholders own the team, not the stadium. Lambeau opened on 29 September 1957 at a cost of $960,000, with a $295 million renovation in 2001-2003.
