Another Lambeau Aerial Photo


Today’s image is another aerial photograph, but much older than yesterday’s stadium view. This view is from a game day in the 1959 season — Lombardi’s first year as coach and “City Stadium’s” third full season of use. This photo appeared in the 1960 edition of the Green Bay Packers yearbook. At the time this photo was taken, City Stadium’s capacity as 32, 150 — a far cry from the post-renovation capacity of 60,890 that we have today. 1960 was also the first year that the tickets were sold out on a season basis, which continues until today. At last count, the season ticket waiting list was over 72,000 names.
