The Most Iconic View in Wisconsin Is Also a Stunning Slice of History
The exterior of Lambeau Field offers what is probably the most iconic view in Wisconsin.
The Badger State is full of incredible sights - you'll find all manner of manmade and natural wonders in Wisconsin. And many of them could surely be considered iconic. So, what's the most iconic view in Wisconsin? It could be the Madison skyline. I mean, what Wisconsinite wouldn't immediately recognize a a view down State Street to the capitol building, right?
Folks from other places who've visited Wisconsin might also recognize iconic Badger State locales like the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and, of course, Door County. Folks from all across the country flock to these spots all summer long and well into the autumn, when the foliage bursts into marvelous color.
But then you've got the Wisconsin Dells - the "waterpark capital of the world" - which probably gets more annual visitors than anywhere else in the state. Renowned for its waterparks and kitschy tourist trap vibe - but in a good way! - the Dells is definitely a Badger State icon. Even the area's incredible natural beauty has become part of the Wisconsin Dells zeitgeist. Who hasn't seen at least a photo of a German shepherd leaping onto Stand Rock?
But really, there's probably no view in Wisconsin that's more iconic than the exterior of Lambeau Field - especially on a game day. The whole world knows who the Green Bay Packers are, tens of thousands attend each home game, and millions tune in every week to watch them on television.
The field opened as the Packers' new home in 1957 - first as New City Field, then it was renamed for Packer legend Curly Lambeau after his death in 1965. With a capacity in excess of 80,000, it is the second-largest and the oldest continuously-operating stadium in the National Football League.
Lambeau is steeped in football history and tradition. Since the Packers moved into Lambeau, the team has won seven league championships, including four Super Bowls, to add to its six pre-Lambeau titles. This eared the city of Green Bay the nickname of "Titletown" - a moniker borrowed by an entertainment district adjacent to Lambeau Fireld.
Steeped in its own special kind of history and inextricably tied to the city of Green Bay, there are few places in Wisconsin as revered or iconic as Lambeau Field. If you're looking to make the pilgrimage, yourself, consider a stay at Lodge Kohler - it's located just steps from Lambeau. So what do you think?
