Lambeau
Field, home of the Green Bay Packers for
more than 40 years is one of the NFL’s
most historical stadiums. From the team's
inception in the 1920’s until 1952,
the Packers played at East (old City) Stadium.
After the 1952 season, the team moved into
the new County Stadium in Milwaukee, which
also became home of the Milwaukee Braves
(MLB), and later the Milwaukee Brewers.
In 1956, a bond was approved allowing the
construction of a new football stadium in
Green Bay. Named City Stadium, the facility
was completed in just one year. The Packers
played their first game at City Stadium
on September 29, 1957. City Stadium had
a capacity of around 32,000 when it opened.
The Packers did not play all of their home
games at City Stadium. They played several
games at County Stadium until 1994.
