GREEN BAY, Wisc. – This isn’t your great-grandfather’s Lambeau Field, all due respect to its Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi statues on the porch.
Oh sure, this stadium remains a rite of football passage for players and fans, alike. It’s a NFL treasure. But it’s not a NFL relic. It’s been expanded and refurbished, complete with climate-controlled suites, LED lights and a heating system under the once-frozen tundra.
Steeped in history, Lambeau’s allure can’t be ignored, and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan doesn’t expect his 1-4 team to lose focus as it arrives Monday night to face the Packers (2-2-1).
