Ahem, you once again show your lack of NFL knowledge. Let me assist.
Entering 2002, Lambeau Field has been sold out on a season-ticket basis 42 straight years, for 278 consecutive non-strike games (62 preseason, 205 regular season and 11 postseason), beginning with the 1960 opener vs. the Chicago Bears. The current waiting list is more than 57,000; the Packers tell fans adding their names that the wait averages 30 years.
More jealousy-generating info:
The NFL's longest-tenured facility, Lambeau easily ranks as one of the most recognized and envied locales in all of sports, a fact recognized in 1999 when Sports Illustrated named it the eighth-best venue in the world to watch sports - and the lone NFL stadium to make the magazine's list of 20. Even with the ongoing changes, Lambeau maintains its nostalgic and intimate feel with totally unobstructed sightlines. Permeated by history, tradition and mystique, the view from inside can be awe-inspiring.
Lambeau Field, now in its 46th NFL season, is the longest continuously-occupied stadium in the league - 10 years more than the next-closest venue, Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego at 36 years. In pro sports as a whole, only the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park (91 seasons) and the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field (89 seasons) have longer active homefield tenures.
Q: How many people does it take to change a light bulb at Lambeau Field?
A: Three. One to change it and two to talk about how good the old one was.
Oh, lest we forget:
The Green Bay Packers have won more championships - 12 - than any other team in National Football League history.
Green Bay also is the only NFL team to win three straight titles, having done it twice.
Now you know. When you are ready to become a fan of the greatest NFL team in history, you know where I am.
A Packer fan was enjoying himself at the game in a packed Lambeau Field, until he noticed an empty seat down in front. He went down and asked the guy next to it if he knew whose seat it was. The guy said, "Yes, that's my wife's seat. We have never missed a game since 1957, but now my wife is dead." The fan offered his sympathy and said it was really too bad he couldn't find some relative to give the ticket to and enjoy the game together. "Oh no," the guy said, "they're all at the funeral."
