Editing Lambeau Field (section)

===Expansion, 1961–95===
Demand for tickets at the new stadium easily outstripped supply, not coincidentally after the arrival of coach [[Vince Lombardi]] in [[1959 Green Bay Packers season|1959]]. In [[1961 Green Bay Packers season|1961]], four years after it opened, the stadium's capacity was increased to 38,669.<ref name=ctbbagb>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=SQIqAAAAIBAJ&pg=3216%2C5191380 |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal |title=Capacity to be boosted at Green Bay stadium |date=March 9, 1961 |page=10–part 2 }}{{Dead link|date=April 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

Since then, the Packers have been regularly increasing the seating capacity. The bowl was increased to 42,327 in [[1963 Green Bay Packers season|1963]], to about 50,837 in [[1965 Green Bay Packers season|1965]] with the enclosure of the south end zone,<ref name=sgagby>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=AFYaAAAAIBAJ&pg=7358%2C6135922 |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal |title=Stadium grows at Green Bay |date=March 10, 1965 |page=18–part 2 }}{{Dead link|date=April 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref name=pisfd>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=PVYaAAAAIBAJ&pg=2839,885296 |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal |last=Johnson |first=Chuck |title=Packers in shape for debut |date=August 12, 1965 |page=15 }}{{Dead link|date=April 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>O'Brien, 1987 pg. 213</ref><ref>Gruver, 1998 pg. 13</ref> and to 56,263 in [[1970 Green Bay Packers season|1970]], when the north end zone was enclosed to form a continuous oval bowl.<ref name=pssw70>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=r34hAAAAIBAJ&pg=2931%2C1099940 |newspaper=Milwaukee Journal |title=Packers start stadium work |date=January 23, 1970 |page=15–part 2 }}{{Dead link|date=April 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> In the early 1980s, the team considered placing a dome on the stadium.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.thepostgame.com/throwback/201511/green-bay-packers-dome-lambeau-field-cold-snow-weather-home-field-advantage|title = When Packers Considered Putting Dome on Lambeau|date = December 31, 1969|access-date = June 16, 2016|archive-date = June 12, 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160612204853/http://www.thepostgame.com/throwback/201511/green-bay-packers-dome-lambeau-field-cold-snow-weather-home-field-advantage|url-status = live}}</ref>

Construction of 72 [[luxury boxes|private boxes]] in [[1985 Green Bay Packers season|1985]] increased the seating capacity to 56,926, and a [[1990 Green Bay Packers season|1990]] addition of 36 additional boxes and 1,920 theatre-style club seats brought the number to 59,543. In [[1995 Green Bay Packers season|1995]], a $4.7&nbsp;million project put 90 more private boxes in the previously open north end zone, again giving the stadium the feel of a complete bowl and increasing capacity to 60,890.
