Lambeau Field has been named the 11th "Wonder of Wisconsin," joining a group of notable destinations across the state. The announcement was made by Travel Wisconsin and the Green Bay Packers at an event held in the Lambeau Field Atrium, with Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers in attendance. The ceremony took place on the eve of the Packers' Thursday night Week 2 game.

The Wonders of Wisconsin list, curated by Travel Wisconsin, highlights significant sites shaped by both natural and human influences. Lambeau Field joins other locations such as Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin, which is recognized as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

"We're pleased to join Travel Wisconsin in recognizing Lambeau Field as a Wonder of Wisconsin, alongside other renowned destinations in our great state," said Justin Wolf, Packers director of corporate partnerships sales and activations. "Lambeau Field attracts Packers fans from near and far to Wisconsin, both on gameday and every day. We're proud to welcome visitors from all over the world to enjoy our outstanding fan experience, celebrate our history and share in the tradition of Packers football."

Lambeau Field opened in 1957 as Green Bay City Stadium and was renamed for team cofounder Curly Lambeau in 1965. It is known as the oldest continuously operating professional football stadium and is home to the NFL’s only publicly owned team.

"Lambeau is like a sanctuary—it's a really special place. Especially for folks who've grown up here or visit Wisconsin, it's extraordinary to be able to go to Lambeau and see it for yourself. It's a place that means a lot to us here in Wisconsin," said Gov. Evers. "Lambeau is where legends and legacies have been born, countless memories have been made, history-defining coaches, players, and games have been played, and the best fans in the NFL cheer on their team. So, it's only right that Lambeau Field here in Titletown be named an official Wonder of Wisconsin."As governor and as a lifelong Wisconsinite, I've proudly been to many of the Wonders of Wisconsin, from hiking at Devil's Lake and seeing the dunes at Kohler-Andrae in my home Sheboygan County to taking in the view from Grandad Bluff or Eagle Tower. Ask anyone who's visiting—when you leave these places, you are left with a sense of awe and pride in all Wisconsin has to offer, and nowhere better is that sentiment shared than at Lambeau," Gov. Evers continued. "Adding Lambeau to the list of must-visit sites in Wisconsin honors our proud history and traditions and is a recognition of everything Lambeau means to our state. This is a great day to be a Wisconsinite and a Packers fan."

Travel Wisconsin started its Wonders of Wisconsin campaign in 2023 with an aim to promote unique destinations throughout the state.

"The Wonders of Wisconsin are legendary destinations. They're places of amazement that have wowed generations of visitors," said Wisconsin Tourism Secretary Anne Sayers. "Wisconsin is full of endless destinations worthy of a Wonder of Wisconsin distinction. This list of Wonders is your starting point to discovering the unexpected and making memories that last a lifetime."

Other sites included among the Wonders are Devil's Lake State Park, Eagle Tower, Grandad Bluff, Kohler-Andrae State Park, Milwaukee Art Museum, Willow Falls, Witches Gulch, Yerkes Observatory, Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and Taliesin.
