The stadium can currently hold a total of 72,922 people, including 6,260 club seats and 167 suites. The average price per ticket was $63.39 in 2008.http://football.ballparks.com/NFL/GreenBayPackers/newindex.htm
The Packers are unique in that they are owned by the residents of Green Bay. The whole of downtown Green Bay is scattered with Packers statues, plaques, and tributaries. All of the streets in the immediate area are named after great players and coaches, and the stadium itself sits only a couple blocks from main residential area. Sports Illustrated and ESPN have both rated Lambeau Field number 1 in stadium experience several times in the past 4 years. Tailgating is extremely popular, and the aroma of bratwurst and other pork products fill the air pre-kickoff. Attending a Packers game is truly a one of a kind experience for a fan of any teamhttp://football.ballparks.com/NFL/GreenBayPackers/newindex.htm.
