Guidebook for Green Bay
Sightseeing
The Packers played there for 32 seasons and won six of their 13 NFL championships during that period, but never played a postseason game there.
The first game was an exhibition against the Iron Mountain All-Stars played Sept. 13, 1925, and Curly Lambeau was the star. The first NFL game was played a week later against the Hammond Pros.
The Packers played their last game there Nov. 18, 1956, and rookie quarterback Bart Starr made his first pro start. The game featured nine future Pro Football Hall of Famers, including Starr and fellow rookie Forrest Gregg.
In all, 87 players in the Hall of Fame, including 11 Packers, played in either a regular-season or preseason game there.
When City Stadium opened, it had seating for roughly 5,700. Its peak capacity was nearly 25,000.
Its most distinctive feature might have been a 400-foot long, 12-foot high and 17-inch thick sandstone entranceway built in 1940 along the west end facing Baird Street. But other than the wall, City Stadium was made of wood and had become outdated well before the Packers abandoned it for new City Stadium, or what is now Lambeau Field, in 1957.
