Tailgating at the Tundra

Fried cheese curds are available from vendors around the stadium. Fresh curds should be picked up from a cheese shop in the Green Bay area no more than 24 hours before the game.

Parking and Lot Culture

Lambeau Field parking is divided into official stadium lots and residential lots. Both offer different experiences.

Residential Lots: The Local Experience

Homeowners within a half-mile of Lambeau rent their yards and driveways on game days. This is a Green Bay tradition dating back decades. The experience varies wildly.

The best residential hosts become famous within the tailgating community. They offer access to bathrooms, warmth, outlets, and sometimes food. Some have been hosting the same groups for 20+ years.

To find residential parking, arrive early and drive the side streets off Lombardi Avenue. Homeowners stand at the end of their driveways waving in customers. Negotiate politely. Cash only.

What to Wear in December

Lambeau Field in December is cold. Not "put on a jacket" cold. More like "your exposed skin hurts within 30 seconds" cold. Proper layering is essential.

• Base layer: Moisture-wicking thermal underwear (top and bottom)
• Middle layer: Fleece or down insulating layer
• Outer layer: Wind-blocking jacket, ideally with hand-warmer pockets
• Feet: Wool socks, insulated boots, toe warmers
• Head: Cheesehead optional. Warm hat required.
• Hands: Insulated gloves with liner gloves underneath

Pro tip: Bring a blanket for your seat. The aluminum benches at Lambeau conduct cold directly into your body.

The Titletown District

The Titletown District sits directly across Lombardi Avenue from the stadium. It includes restaurants, bars, a hotel, and a public park. For fans without established tailgate spots, this is the gathering place.

Hinterland Brewing operates a taproom in the district. The outdoor plaza has games and activities for kids. The Lodge Kohler hotel books months in advance for home games.
