===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.
