The Green Bay Packers have bought up a lot of land around Lambeau Field with plans of developing what they call the Titletown District.
We knew once they tore out the gas stations, bars and Kmarts, they were going to build new retail, dining and other commercial facilities. And, we really didn’t care.
The first business they brought in was a Cabela’s.
Ho hum.
But now we care.
The centerpiece of the whole project — other than Lambeau Field itself, of course — is a 10-acre public park. And it looks pretty goddam dope.
Now, instead of getting ripped in the Kmart parking lot, you can get ripped in a park before home games!
And you can climb a giant Super Bowl ring! And do some ice skating!
Check this bad boy out.
Oh, and for comparison’s sake…

The gigantic SB trophy they installed and this huge super bowl ring seem like a bit much to me.
I agree Cheese, I’m just glad they are doing something for the people that doesn’t involve shopping or money. Just a nice beautiful year round park, perfect.
Uh, lots of shopping and money ill be involved. It’s a way to add a revenue stream that they don’t have to share to help stay competitive, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
