There are speculations that a college football game will be played in 2024 at Lambeau Field, home of the Green Bay Packers. Wisconsin sports fans were excited this week when an athletics director made remarks about his team, despite the fact that the Packers had not yet made an official announcement.
Derrick Gragg, Northwestern’s athletic director, reportedly told alumni that the Wildcats will host a home game at Lambeau Field this season, according to Louie Vaccher on X.
FYI: AD Gragg told alumni in NYC last week that Northwestern will play a home game at Lambeau Field this year. He didn’t mention the opponent, but it would likely be Wisconsin on Oct. 19.
This smacks of 1991, when NU played a “home” game vs. Ohio State in Cleveland. 😒

The game between Northwestern and Wisconsin is scheduled for October 19, however as of right now, the Green Bay Packers or Wisconsin Badgers still need to ratify or accept everything.
The Wisconsin Badgers hosted the LSU Tigers at home in 2016. The game took place at Lambeau Field. The Badgers pulled off an upset victory of 16-14 over the Tigers. Both fans and players enjoyed the experience of playing a college football game at Lambeau Field, which gave many players a taste of the NFL stage.
