Lambeau Field has been tabbed as a possible venue for World Cup matches in 2018 or 2022 if the United States is selected as the host, but the size of the playing surface wouldn’t be big enough to host an official match.

FIFA regulations for international matches require the playing surface to be approximately 115 yards long by 75 yards wide. The home of the Green Bay Packers wouldn’t be wide enough. A soccer feasibility study done for the Green Bay/Brown County Professional Football Stadium District showed that the maximum width would be about 66 yards, two feet and even that included some portion of the field on the concrete apron around the field.

A total of 70 stadiums, including Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, are under consideration if the U.S. is awarded the World Cup.



Like the article says, Lambeau can't hold an official tournament match, but a friendly or use as a training ground would be perfect for the Frozen Tundra.
