Lambeau Field Seating Information
We usually have a limited number of seating options for you in the Lambeau Leap Zone. This is a phrase we have coined for the first 4 rows in the end zone areas where players might perform the “Lambeau Leap”.
Donald Driver leaps into fans at Lambeau Field

The Lambeau Leap is the tradition of Packer players leaping into the stands during home games at Lambeau Field and into the arms of fans after making a scoring or other big play. Often, the player will also hand out a football while doing so. Other times, a player might hand out the scoring football to fans in the stands without leaping into the stands. This occurred TWICE in one recent season when interceptions were returned for touchdowns by Al Harris and the scoring football was given to our customers by Al sitting in the low rows near the field.
The Lambeau Leap was originated during a bitterly cold December game in the early 1990’s when Reggie White recovered an Oakland Raider fumble and lateralled the ball to a streaking Leroy Butler who scored a touchdown and joyously leaped into the stands in the south end zone. Countless Packer players have made “the leap” since to the delight of fans in the area of the leaping.

The first "Leaper"
Some “leaps” are very graceful and flamboyant (shown above in Donald Driver’s eloquent efforts), while some are somewhat awkward with heavier players barely getting the loft to clear the barrier separating the playing area from the stands. At times slightly chagrined, but still festive, bulkier Packers have been “helped” into the stands by fans who tugged them up and over when the player couldn’t quite muster the feat unassisted. Imagine a Gilbert Brown or Grady Jackson attempting the Lambeau Leap after scoring a touchdown on a turnover or on a safety and you get the idea. It’s all in good fun and one of the more delightful events you will likely see at Packer games in Lambeau Field.
If you want to sit in the “Lambeau Leap Zone”, we usually have some of these seats available. When you order your Tour Package or Game Package, and want to upgrade to “Lambeau Leap Zone” seating, be sure to inquire about availability. The lower the row, the better your chances of “catching” a “Leaping Packer” or getting a football. Row 1 is ideal. Since these type of seats are scarce and extremely popular, the charge for this option is a higher than standard seating.
