2000
the national football league's green bay packers played two to four home games per year at milwaukee county stadium from 1953 to 1994, after using wisconsin state fair park in nearby west allis from 1934 through 1951 and marquette stadium in 1952. the packers compiled a 76–47–3 () regular season record at county stadium over 42 seasons. it hosted at least one pre-season game annually during this time as well (except 1983), including the upper midwest shrine game. financial considerations prompted the packers to move some of their games to milwaukee starting with the 1933 season, with one game played at borchert field. by 1995, multiple renovations to lambeau field made it more lucrative for the packers to play their full home slate in green bay again for the first time since 1932. former milwaukee ticket holders were offered tickets at lambeau to one pre-season game and games 2 and 5 of the regular season schedule, in what is referred to as the "gold package."
