Home for sale just feet from Green Bay’s Lambeau Field hits the market for $700K

A newly listed house on Zillow offers potential buyers the unique opportunity to become neighbors with the Green Bay Packers and their stadium full of fans.

The shabby four-bedroom, two-bathroom home has caught the attention of internet speculators who have debated the home's asking price of $699,900.

The home is literally steps away from Lambeau Field, where some 80,000 spectators regularly gather to watch the NFC North team compete.

“Packer fans dream! Great rental income or a place to call home and overlook Packer Stadium! Must see 4 bedroom, 2 bath, hot tub, inground pool, GREAT for entertaining! Don't miss this opportunity!' reads a description of the home listed on the Zillow profile

A popular option in the real estate market is converting homes near major stadiums and arenas into “party houses,” which are rented out to fans of the playing teams who want to be close to the game and the excitement.

A trend at several major NFL stadiums across the country is for property owners to rent out their homes as short-term rentals for big game days. For that reason, some online commentators believe that the price of the home may actually be a bargain. .

Houses near Lambeau Field have been bought up and renamed 'Packers party houses'.

Others have used their driveways as paid parking lots for game goers.

But if a buyer is looking for a family home to live in full-time, the property can be used for that purpose as well, as long as the owners are willing to put up with a little play noise (or partake in it themselves). .

The proximity to the pitch may seem exciting to some and intimidating to others, but the stadium only hosts about ten matches a year – so there is ultimately somewhat limited involvement in the commotion on match day.

The stadium, which seats 80,000, hosts other events throughout the year, such as concerts.

According to Zillow photos of the 2,112-square-foot home, Lambeau Field is clearly visible from the front yard of the property, which covers about a quarter-acre.

The home, which last appears to have sold in May 2022 for $370,000, has a small porch, full kitchen, full basement, dining room, fireplace, backyard deck, hot tub and pool, in addition to four bedrooms.

The home's honest presentation in the Zillow profile shows a somewhat neglected interior, in need of some aesthetic and technical updates, as well as a stained pool full of leaves that had fallen in as the seasons changed.

The home on Wildwood Lane was built in 1968 and is less than a mile from nearby public elementary, middle and high schools.

Green Bay has had a mediocre season so far this year, narrowly beating the Carolina Panthers in an away game in Week 16.

On the same day, the Detroit Lions won the NFC North Division and clinched their spot in the playoffs.

Despite Green Bay's somewhat disappointing season, the team's fanbase remains as fanatical as ever.

Notably, since 1960 – just three years after Lambeau Field opened – the stadium has been completely sold out without season tickets. The field has expanded considerably since then, but the legendary waiting list for season tickets has only grown.
