Green Bay Packers Weather Playbook: Lambeau Field Frozen Tundra and NFC North

By Kevin Roth, sports meteorologist. Weather guide for DFS players and bettors.

Home advantage

The Packers play open-air in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Lambeau is the NFL's most historically cold-affected stadium. December and January games regularly play in single-digit and sub-zero temperatures with sustained plains and lake-influenced wind.

Division road environments

NFC North road trips into Chicago Lake Michigan wind, Detroit fixed dome, and Minneapolis fixed dome. Chicago is the other extreme cold-weather outdoor environment.

For DFS and bettors

Cold-weather Lambeau games are the archetypal NFL weather environment. Late-season and playoff games with sub-zero wind chill affect kicking accuracy, ball grip, and offensive output materially.
