===Packers shareholders meeting===
With the 1997–98 sale of stock in the [[Green Bay Packers, Inc.|Packers corporation]], swelling the number of owners to over 112,000, a large venue was needed for the annual shareholders meeting. The event returned to Lambeau Field in 2006 after several thousand people were turned away from the 2005 meeting at the nearby [[Resch Center]]. Average attendance at shareholders meetings varies between 8,000 and 10,000.<ref name="2022sharemeeting">{{cite news|url=https://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/news/2022/05/24/green-bay-packers-nominate-four-election-annual-shareholders-meeting/9906719002/|work=Green Bay Press Gazette|title=Green Bay Packers nominate four new board members, set annual shareholders meeting|first=Richard|last=Ryman|date=May 24, 2022}}</ref>

The [[COVID-19 pandemic in the United States|COVID-19 pandemic]] prevented the 2020 shareholders meeting from occurring as a large public gathering at Lambeau Field. For this reason, it was broadcast online in a virtual meeting format via live webcast.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.wbay.com/content/news/Packers-shareholders-meeting-goes-virtual-571354231.html?ref=231 | website = wbay.com | title = Packers shareholders meeting goes virtual | date = June 18, 2020 | access-date = July 6, 2020 | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200706182103/https://www.wbay.com/content/news/Packers-shareholders-meeting-goes-virtual-571354231.html?ref=231 | archive-date = July 6, 2020}}</ref> The pandemic also affected the 2021 meeting, resulting in only 3,900 owners attending in person.<ref name="2022sharemeeting"/>

===High school and college football===
When built, Lambeau Field was also slated to be used by schools of the [[Green Bay Area Public School District]], as old City Stadium had been. However, a key [[1962 NFL season|1962]] game between the [[1962 Green Bay Packers season|Packers]] and [[1962 Detroit Lions season|Detroit Lions]] was affected when two high schools played in the rain the preceding Friday, damaging the field. After that, Lombardi asked the schools to avoid using Lambeau, though [[Green Bay Southwest High School|Southwest]] and [[Green Bay West High School|West]] continued to play there until a west side high school stadium was built in the late 1970s.

In 1973, the championship game for the Wisconsin Independent Schools Athletic Association (until 2000, the [[Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association|WIAA]]-equivalent organization for the state's private and religious high schools) was played at Lambeau. The last high school game played at Lambeau was a WIAA semifinal between Green Bay West and [[Waukesha North High School|Waukesha North]], with the latter team the victor and going on to [[Camp Randall Stadium|Madison]] for the divisional championship game. In 1982 and 1983, [[St. Norbert College]] hosted [[Fordham University]] (Lombardi's alma mater) in two [[NCAA Division III|Division III]] tilts, benefitting the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation.<ref name="nytcarmexclassic">{{cite news| url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/02/sports/ncaafootball/lambeau-field-gives-college-football-a-try.html| title=Lambeau Field Gives Football the Old College Try| last=Sandomir| first=Richard| date=September 1, 2016| work=[[The New York Times]]| access-date=September 2, 2016| archive-date=September 2, 2016| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160902235833/http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/02/sports/ncaafootball/lambeau-field-gives-college-football-a-try.html| url-status=live}}</ref> The first was held on November 20, 1982, and the second was November 19, 1983. The first year, a 14-10 St. Norbert win, drew 5,119 people. The second year, a 18-9 St. Norbert win, drew 842 people.

In 2016, Lambeau Field hosted its first major [[NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision]] game when [[Wisconsin Badgers football|Wisconsin]] played [[LSU Tigers football|LSU]] in the 2nd of a two-game series which started in 2014 at another NFL venue – [[Houston]]'s [[NRG Stadium]].<ref name="nytcarmexclassic" /> The Badgers won in what was called a "historic upset" by ESPN and Yahoo! Sports, as the unranked Badgers defeated the #5 ranked Tigers 16–14.<ref>[https://www.espn.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/135993/wisconsin-secures-historic-upset-as-lsu-sputters-in-season-opener "Opening ouch: LSU sputters as Wisconsin lands historic upset"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241201182725/https://www.espn.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/135993/wisconsin-secures-historic-upset-as-lsu-sputters-in-season-opener |date=December 1, 2024 }}.

===Hockey===
[[File:Lambeau Field (Wisconsin Badgers vs Ohio State Buckeyes, February 2006).jpg|thumb|right|Lambeau Field hosting its first hockey game.]]
Following the success of the "[[Cold War (ice hockey)|Cold War]]", collegiate ice hockey game held in 2001 at [[Michigan State University|Michigan State's]] [[Spartan Stadium (East Lansing)|Spartan Stadium]], [[ice hockey|hockey]] teams from [[Wisconsin Badgers|Wisconsin]] and [[Ohio State Buckeyes|Ohio State]] met in the [[Frozen Tundra Hockey Classic]], an outdoor game played on a temporary rink inside the stadium on February 11, 2006. The Badgers defeated the Buckeyes 4–2 before a capacity crowd of 40,890. There were some problems as the ice began to crack during play, but overall it was a success, ending with the Badgers doing the Lambeau Leap following their victory.

===Snowmobile racing===
In 2004 a snowmobile racing event was held in the parking lot due to a lack of snow. In 2005 the snowmobile racing event took place over the grass, with the right amount of snow cover.

===Concerts===
Due to the small size of the surrounding population, not many concerts are held at Lambeau Field because the primary use of the stadium is football. The Lambeau Field lease between the city of Green Bay and the Packers allows for one non-football event a month between February and June, with the Packers having veto power.<ref>{{Cite news| url=http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/opinion/editorials/2015/06/27/lambeau-field-host-concerts/29365127/|title=Lambeau Field should host more concerts|work=Press Gazette Media|access-date=May 1, 2017}}</ref>
