Drop Off Zone
A northbound lane of Ridge Road (on the stadium’s west side) is blockaded on game day to provide a safe and convenient passenger drop off area. To access the drop off zone, vehicles must be traveling north on Ridge Road and merge with northbound traffic upon exiting. Please respect any posted time limitations and heed the instructions from officers directing traffic flow in and out of the area.
As this area will be very congested in the immediate hour(s) after the game, it will not be designated as a post-game pick up zone. Drivers should arrange to meet their passengers at an alternate location after the game.
Tailgating
Tailgating is a time-honored tradition at Lambeau Field and while we encourage you to have a good time, please do so responsibly. Those utilizing the Lambeau Field parking lot will be permitted only one parking space per vehicle and we ask that you limit the space used for tailgating to 6’ behind your vehicle to allow for vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Grill cooking with charcoal or L.P. gas is allowed; however, all grills must be supervised while in use and be fully extinguished before being left unattended. Separate containers are available in the lot for hot charcoals, recyclable items and trash. The Green Bay Fire Department will be enforcing Ordinance 24.14(1), as stated below:
Excerpt from City of Green Bay Ordinance 24.14(1)
OPEN BURNING
“All open burning is prohibited within the City of Green Bay, except for: (a) Outdoor-Cooking Fires. Open or closed cooking grills (charcoal and propane fuel only)….”
Several stadium rest rooms are accessible from the parking lot and are available to tailgaters from the time the parking lot opens (four hours prior to kickoff) until one hour prior to kickoff. These rest rooms are located on the north, northwest and southwest sides of the stadium.
Will Call & Ticket Issues
Game-day will call windows are located on the northeast side of the stadium, facing Lombardi Avenue and adjacent to the Lambeau Field Atrium. The windows open at 8:00 am for noon & 3:15 games and at 10:00 am for night games. The windows close at halftime.

Oneida Street between Lombardi and Potts will only be open to those with reserved Lambeau Field parking passes before and after the game. (Oneida will be closed to all through traffic.) Motorists with parking passes will be required to enter the parking lot at the north or south Oneida Street entrances. They will be required to leave via the same gate. No traffic will be allowed on Oneida Street between the two entrances.
Ridge Road will be closed to all through traffic following the game. Traffic leaving the stadium parking lot will be allowed to exit. Vehicles using the north driveway will be directed northbound on Ridge Road, while vehicles using the south exit will be directed southbound. Through traffic will resume when pedestrian traffic has cleared the area with that determination made by officers on site.
Valley View Road from Lambeau Field to Ridge Road will be open to vehicular traffic, but the road will be divided to create a pedestrian walkway.
Armed Forces Drive at Oneida Street will close three hours before kick-off. The remainder of Armed Forces Drive will be closed to vehicles one hour before game time due to the heavy volume of pedestrians. Armed Forces Drive will remain closed until pedestrian traffic clears after the game.
