Lambeau FieldCity/Region: Milwaukee
Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers, is a landmark among America's football stadiums. When it underwent extensive renovations a few years ago, fans pleaded for the preservation of its trademark features. Today, its retro style and original seating bowl are balanced by modern facilities and services. If visitors can get tickets-and stand the cold-watching the Packers play at home is an amazing experience. If not, a tour of the stadium, where some of the greatest legends in football have played, is the next best thing.
