Two months after the death of Packers founder [[Curly Lambeau]], New City Stadium was renamed "Lambeau Field" by the Green Bay city council on August 3, [[1965 Green Bay Packers season|1965]].<ref name=pbblfid/><ref name=lfvbc/><ref>Maraniss, 1999 pg. 388</ref>

Besides founding the team in 1919, Lambeau played for the Packers in their early years and was the team's coach for 31 seasons through [[1949 Green Bay Packers season|1949]]. He shares the distinction with rival coach [[George Halas]] of the [[Chicago Bears]] and [[Bill Belichick]] of the [[New England Patriots]] of coaching his team to the most [[NFL championships]], with six. Lambeau was inducted as a charter member of the [[Pro Football Hall of Fame]] in Canton, Ohio in 1963.
