while preserving the past
On Saturday, January 22nd, 2000, Green
Bay Packers President Bob Harlan
announced the Packers' plan to renovate historic
Lambeau Field.
He used a light pointer to highlight just one
thing - the green
grass playing field. "A good deal of money
is going into saving that
part of the park," Harlan said. Among the
highlights of the $295 million plan
are the addition of 8,000 seats - up to 4,000
of which will be made available to the
general public each game - more concessions,
a new Packer Hall of
Fame, more restrooms (WooHoo!) and a larger concourse.
"We are going to build the stadium that the rest
of the National
Football League wished they had," he said.
