“Taj Mahal of NFL Stadiums”: Tom Brady on Lambeau Field

11 comments

1. I’d pick a different world wonder for Lambeau, honestly. Maybe The Great Wall. Or Petra. 

2. I’ve been to whatever the Cowboys played in in the 90s, Soldier Field post spaceship landing and Lambeau. Lambeau hands down was the best experience. The facility is old but modern and has an amazing historical vibe and the fans were extremely welcoming even to this Bears fan

3. The decision to build around the core Lambeau Field when they did their renovations was the only right choice there. They were able to modernize it while maintaining the historical site. I live a few minutes from the Stadium and yes have had the experience within Lambeau multiple times. It really is incredible.

4. People that crap on Lambeau (usually Viking Fans) say, “but it has bleachers” or “it gets cold in the winter”. Damn right. I’ve been there dozens of times and love the vibe of Lambeau, even the bleachers and snow. I can’t believe there are teams that fail to use upper Midwest weather to their advantage. Football was meant to be played outdoors. Plus, Lambeau and the surrounding bars/tailgating make it the closest thing you’ll find to a college-like atmosphere in the NFL. It’s a blast to go to games there. Add in the tradition, winning and legends that have played there and I agree with Brady.

5. The GOAT acknowledged the GOAT stadium. Respect

6. I don’t like Tom Brady . This makes not liking him just a slight bit harder for me now.

7. The first time I went to Lambeau was in 2016. Andrew Luck got in the game but we won’t talk about that lol.

   The Saturday night before we ate at the, then, Brett Favre Steakhouse and walked to the stadium from there. I saw the massive Lombardi trophy in the atrium and then saw the Lombardi statue. My then gf, now wife, said my face was in awe and I know I started to tear up. That was just the tip of the iceberg as we got closer to the stadium still, the aura was just awe inspiring before it was even game day. You see the statues around the stadium of the Leap, Curly and the aforementioned Vince. I posed for a picture with with Vince and I nailed my noggin on his coat. It hurt a lot but I was so overcome with the experience, I couldn’t even register the pain until we went into the pro shop, which I had no idea would be open! Got my Aaron Rodgers bobblehead there. On Gameday, we got inside and went to the hall of fame before the late afternoon kickoff, just so much rich history. I had to go again when I took my dad years later.

8. was at a game vs the vikings and while walking into the stands a vikings fan said “now this is a REAL football field” lmfao

9. Ah suck a fart, Tom

10. I was there for the Christmas day 2011 game against the Bears. The tickets were the last gift opened on Christmas morning and I thought it was a joke at first. I live about a 5 hour drive from Lambeau, so almost immediately after my parents told me they were real, we packed up and drove to Green Bay. I remember stopping at the Perkins restaurant just off I-90 in Madison because it was the pretty much the only restaurant open lol. We sat at about the 50 yard line way up in the bleachers. It snowed a bit during the game and of course the Packers won. No sports experience has ever come close. That was not only one of my best football memories, it’s one of the best memories of my life.

11. This is from a YouTube video that Fox posted. I started watching it, but then they started talking about Brady’s NFC Championship win there…
