    GREEN BAY - Despite being the second oldest stadium in the NFL, the history and modern feel of Lambeau Field are still respected to this day.

    USA Today recently ranked all 30 NFL Stadiums from best to worst. The Green Bay Packers home came in second on the list, right behind Lumen Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks.

    For Nancy Armour, a columnist for USA Today Sports, praised Lambeau for having "all the amenities required in 2024." She also said what makes Lambeau so unique is the surrounding area it resides in.

    "For those not fortunate enough to have been there, it’s set in the middle of a neighborhood. There are people for whom Lambeau is their backyard," she said. "It’s the perfect blend of quaint, old-word charm and modern glitz, and there is nothing else in the NFL like it.”

    It helps that there is a lot of winning for the home team, as the Packers hold a record of 276-137-6 at Lambeau, the best home record for any NFL in its teams history.

    As far as the fellow NFC North home venues, the Minnesota Vikings home turf, U.S. Bank Stadium, was ranked third on the list. Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions, was ranked 16th. Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears, rounded out the NFC North with a 22nd place ranking.

    Despite the high praise Lambeau gets, as well as the 2025 NFL draft being hosted in Green Bay , the Packers are still one of few teams who have yet to host a Super Bowl. And due to the requirements by the NFL, it doesn't look like that will happen anytime soon.

    What is now Lambeau Field opened in 1957 as City Stadium before being renamed in 1965.
