“It’s the longest continuously used stadium in the NFL — a true cathedral of football. Catching a game at Lambeau means braving the ‘frozen tundra’ and soaking up the sight of thousands of proud fans rocking their signature cheesehead hats,” Deadspin wrote when talking about Lambeau’s ranking.
Lambeau was one of four NFL stadiums that made the list, which included AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
According to the survey, five states chose Lambeau Field as its No. 1 bucket list sports destination — Colorado, Iowa, Mississippi, New Jersey and Tennessee. For Wisconsin fans, the venue on top of their sports bucket list is Wimbledon in London.
