Lambeau Field is unique compared to its fellow NFL stadiums in that its the only one to sit with homes so close that a decent water balloon shooter would reach it. Some others, like FedEx Field and Gillette Stadium, have condo developments nearby. Most stadiums are in downtown areas, or are out in more remote areas, surrounded by interstate highways for easy access. Here are some photos showing how close some lucky folks are to have the Packers’ home field as a backdrop.
The north end of the stadium faces Lombardi Avenue, but on the other side of that is a cozy built-in-the-1960’s neighborhood.
The south end of the stadium also backs up to a normal neighborhood.
The east side of the stadium is more commercial, facing busy Oneida Street.
This view of the southwesterly end of the stadium makes Lambeau look like its out in the boondocks, but the clear field seen here was until just a few years ago filled with neighborhood homes. The Packers purchased and razed these dwellings to make for additional parking, much of which is used for game day stadium employees and media.
