===Atrium Renovation, 2013β15=== In 2013, the Packers announced a new $140.5 million renovation project for the Lambeau Atrium entrance, entirely paid by the Packers without public funding. The project began in March 2013 and was completed in June 2015.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-announce-140-million-atrium-renovation-plan-np8a6vu-186096071.html|title=Packers plan $140 million Lambeau atrium upgrade|access-date=May 2, 2017|archive-date=December 25, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171225203404/http://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-announce-140-million-atrium-renovation-plan-np8a6vu-186096071.html|url-status=live}}</ref> [[File:Statues at Lambeau Field.jpg|thumb|Statues of Vince Lombardi and Curly Lambeau outside the [[Miller Lite]] Gate at Lambeau Field]] The Packers removed ground between Bob Harlan Plaza and Lombardi Avenue, which is now the basement of the atrium. The Pro Shop has been moved to the new ground level, and a set of escalators were installed on the western side, leading to the atrium and the entrance of the Miller Gate. The Packers Hall of Fame moved to the second floor of the atrium where Curly's Pub was originally located. Curly's moved to the main floor where the Pro Shop was previously held and was renamed 1919 Kitchen & Tap. This renovation project was referred to as "Phase II", with the first phase considered as the 7,500 seats that were installed previously. The new setup was made to be easier for fans as it was difficult for fans in the past. Phase II also included the following: *The [[Oneida Nation of Wisconsin|Oneida Nation]] gate was given an expanded plaza extending into the east parking lot. A tunnel under the plaza leads to a player parking area immediately east of the player facilities. Permanent restrooms were installed under the plaza. *A new entrance called the [[American Family Insurance]] gate was added at parking lot level on the east side, with an escalator providing access to the main floor of the atrium. The Pro Shop is also accessible here. *Harlan Plaza in front of the Miller Gate facing Lombardi Avenue will remain, but its front now lines up with the North face of the atrium tower where the Pro Shop is situated. The Curly Lambeau and Vince Lombardi statues were repositioned and remain in the plaza. *New player facilities in the lower level of the stadium, including strength and conditioning rooms and a 35-by-50-yard practice walk-through area. At the time of the proposed renovation, the project was expected to create approximately 1,500 jobs and pay more than $60 million in wages. Team president and CEO [[Mark Murphy (American football executive)|Mark Murphy]] also committed at the time that 95% of spending on the project would be done in Wisconsin and 69% in northeastern Wisconsin.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2013/01/09/lambeau-field-renovation-underground/1819917/ | title=Packers plan to renovate the Lambeau Atrium | website=USAToday.com | date=January 9, 2013 | access-date=September 12, 2023 | archive-date=September 29, 2023 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230929030642/https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2013/01/09/lambeau-field-renovation-underground/1819917/ | url-status=live }}</ref> A 50-foot-tall replica [[Lombardi Trophy]] was unveiled on November 14, 2014, on the east side of the stadium.<ref>[http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/story/money/2014/11/12/packers-unveiling-foot-tall-trophy-lambeau/18948423/ "Packers unveil 50-foot Lombardi Trophy at Lambeau Field"].
