Lambeau Field ranked No. 1

USA TODAY and Sports Illustrated ranked Lambeau Field No. 1 among the 30 stadiums in the NFL to attend a football game. SI sums it up nicely: “Football is Lambeau Field, and Lambeau Field is football.”

In addition, sports betting site Bookies.com, said Lambeau Field provides the best pregame experience — tailgating, stadium location and accessibility, nearby entertainment and family friendliness — in the NFL.

When will the stadium open?

Lambeau Field parking lots open four hours before game time, so 3:15 p.m. before the Eagles game. The Lambeau Field bowl opens two hours before kickoff. The Lambeau Field Atrium, including the Packers Pro Shop, is open only to ticketed fans.

Lambeau Field and all Packers-owned businesses in Titletown are cashless.

Where can fans park?

For those who have parking passes, the Lambeau Field lots open four hours before game time. For those who do not, parking is available at homes and businesses around Lambeau Field. Generally, parking is between $20 and $60, depending on distance from the stadium.

Free parking on streets around Lambeau also is an option, but be mindful of parking-restriction signs, especially west and south of the stadium.

Green Bay Metro provides free shuttle service

Green Bay Metro offers four free shuttle routes, with buses leaving to and from Lambeau on the half-hour from 3 to 6 p.m. and again from the end of the game until 11:30 p.m. Routes to Lambeau Field run from Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport, downtown Green Bay, the far east side and points in between.

Where can you watch the Packers-Eagles game?

The nationwide game is on ESPN/ABC, with Joe Buck doing play-by-play, Troy Aikman providing commentary, and Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge on the sidelines.

The game normally would be available through NFL Sunday Ticket by YouTube, but Disney has pulled its channels off the service as part of a carriage dispute, and that includes ABC and ESPN.

The channels disappeared from YouTubeTV beginning Oct. 30 and, though disputes of this nature can get resolved quickly, those who wanted to watch the “Monday Night Football” battle between Dallas and Arizona on Nov. 3 were out of luck.

Here’s where to listen to the game on radio

Packers games can be heard on the Packers Radio Network, which includes 54 stations in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois and North and South Dakota. WRIT-Milwaukee, 95.7 BIG FM, is the flagship station. Wayne Larrivee does play-by-play and two-time Packers Pro Bowler Larry McCarren provides analysis. Former Packers fullback John Kuhn will be on the sideline.

The radio broadcast will be streamed at Packers.com. The Packers mobile app will stream the radio broadcast within the Packers’ home market, per NFL broadcast restrictions. Fans within the Packers’ local home marketing area can listen to the game on packers.com.

Philadelphia 7th largest market; Green Bay the smallest

The Philadelphia metro area is the seventh largest market in the NFL and Green Bay the smallest. Philadelphia metro area includes 6.2 million people, while Green Bay has 328,268.

That disparity does not carry over to home stadiums. MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, where the Jets and the Giants play, is the largest in the NFL, with a capacity of 82,500, but Lambeau Field is second at 81,441.
