Packers preseason: Lambeau Field game day reminders
Lambeau Field, Green Bay
GREEN BAY, Wis. - Lambeau Field is set to welcome fans for Saturday’s preseason matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans – the first preseason game at Lambeau Field since 2019.
After a canceled preseason, and a regular season with no and then limited fans in the stands, the team reminds fans that there have been changes. Here's what fans can expect on game day.
Tickets and payment
Fans are reminded that all tickets are mobile-only, as the Packers have transitioned to mobile tickets. Mobile tickets allow for safe, secure ticketing and help prevent fraud, while also allowing for direct and instantaneous communication between the team and the fans coming to each game.
Other than parking, which is cash-only, fans should note that Lambeau Field and all of its businesses are now cashless. Those who do not have credit/debit cards or contactless payment solutions can use a cash-to-card conversion station located in the Atrium.

Game day recognitions
The game is the inaugural "Packers Give Back Game" which will annually support a benefiting charity from Wisconsin. This year, the game will honor Big Brothers Big Sisters of Wisconsin.
