The horseshoe-shaped stadium was made of wood and originally did not have any toilet facilities. It stood behind Green Bay East High School and next to the East River. The Packers used the school for locker room facilities. Visiting teams often dressed at their hotel before the game rather than use the lockers at East High. The stadium originally seated 6,000. Its capacity would be gradually expanded to 25,000. The Packers compiled a record of 88-41-7 (.673) at City Stadium, including NFL world championship seasons in 1929, 1930, 1931, 1936, 1939 and 1944. Although City Stadium was the Packers' official home field, in 1933 they began to play part of their home schedule at Milwaukee. After holding one contest there in 1933, the Packers played two or three home games each year in Milwaukee,

  • The horseshoe-shaped stadium was made of wood and originally did not have any toilet facilities. It stood behind Green Bay East High School and next to the East River. The Packers used the school for locker room facilities. Visiting teams often dressed at their hotel before the game rather than use the lockers at East High. The stadium originally seated 6,000. Its capacity would be gradually expanded to 25,000. The Packers compiled a record of 88-41-7 (.673) at City Stadium, including NFL world championship seasons in 1929, 1930, 1931, 1936, 1939 and 1944. Although City Stadium was the Packers' official home field, in 1933 they began to play part of their home schedule at Milwaukee. After holding one contest there in 1933, the Packers played two or three home games each year in Milwaukee, a practice that continued through 1994, after which they were again based solely in Green Bay. While its playing surface was consistently praised, by the 1950s City Stadium was seen as too small and inadequate, even after expansion. The leaders of the NFL, including George Halas, informed the Green Bay club owners that they needed to improve their stadium facilities, or else the Packers would be moved to Milwaukee, or elsewhere, permanently. The residents of Green Bay responded by voting in 1956 to build a new City Stadium, which opened the following year, as "old" City Stadium became a high school field. The new stadium would be renamed Lambeau Field in 1965 after the death of team founder Curly Lambeau, and has become one of the most revered venues in all of American sports.
