Lambeau Field opened in 1957. Details:

  • Originally named City Stadium, it opened on September 29, 1957, with a seating capacity of about 32,000.
  • The stadium was built to replace the earlier City Stadium in Green Bay and was designed for the Green Bay Packers. It later took the name Lambeau Field in 1965 following Curly Lambeau’s passing.

If you’d like, I can pull up additional sources or provide a brief timeline of major renovations and capacity changes over the years.
