Game Day Guide
Last updated
This is a prime-time home game at Lambeau Field, so plan on a later arrival and a slower exit than a day game. The Packers’ official game-day page says the Atrium opens 4 hours before kickoff and all other gates open 2 hours before kickoff, with mobile ticketing required and no re-entry after scanning in. For this matchup, the safest arrival plan is to get there early, use the Atrium if you want food or services before the stadium bowl opens, and decide on your ride home before kickoff. Official transportation is strongest here: Green Bay Metro game-day buses are free, and Lamers also runs fee-based service. If you are watching in Green Bay instead of attending, Anduzzi’s and Titletown Brewing’s Sky Lounge are the clearest documented viewing options. View Game Day Guide

Important Alerts
Info
General guidance: Pack a phone, not a paper ticket
Mobile ticketing is mandatory at Lambeau Field. Print-at-home PDFs and screenshots are not accepted, so add tickets to a mobile wallet and arrive with a charged phone.
SourceInfo
General guidance: Expect a bus timing discrepancy in the Packers’ own materials
One Packers page says game-day buses begin 4 hours before kickoff and run about 1 hour after the game; another says they begin 5 hours before kickoff and run about 3 hours after. Treat that as a source conflict and confirm which posted schedule applies before you go.
SourceInfo
General guidance: Cash is not the easy option inside the stadium
Concessions and merchandise are cashless at Lambeau Field. If you want to use cash, plan on the cash-to-card conversion station in the Atrium before you head to your seats.

General guidance: No re-entry after you scan in
Lambeau tickets are one-time entry only, with no right of re-entry. If you leave after entering, do not expect to come back in with the same ticket.

Getting There
Green Bay Metro game-day buses
Best official free transit option for fans coming from around Green Bay.
Green Bay Metro runs Packers home game routes, and the city says the service is free for game days. The Packers also direct fans to game-day bus service as the cleanest way to get to and from Lambeau without dealing with stadium traffic.
Transportation detailsLamers shuttle service
Good option if you want a paid ride from the wider Green Bay area or from farther away.
The Packers say Lamers offers fee-based service from several areas in Greater Green Bay and other Wisconsin and Upper Peninsula Michigan cities. This is a pre-planned option, not something to improvise at the stadium edge.
Transportation detailsRideshare pickup after the game
Best for fans who are being picked up or using a car service and want a clearly designated meet point.
The Packers direct rideshare pickup to the corner of Mike McCarthy Way and Holmgren Way after exiting the American Family, Oneida Nation, or Potawatomi Sportsbook gates. Build in extra time after a night game because postgame traffic will stack up.
Transportation details
Parking
Reserved season parking
Reserved season parking in the lots around Lambeau is sold out to season pass holders, so this is not a typical option for a single-game fan unless you already hold the right pass.
Parking detailsIndividual-game parking reservation
Individual-game parking can be reserved through PMI / Ticketstaronline. The Packers direct fans to use the official reservation path rather than expecting walk-up access to the main lots.
Parking detailsLot 15 individual parking passes
The Packers say a limited amount of individual parking passes in Lot 15 are available for pre-purchase. Lot 15 is not a postgame pickup zone because of congestion.
Parking detailsStreet parking with game-day restrictions
The City of Green Bay says vehicles parked on streets signed “NO PARKING DAY OF PACKER GAME” must be removed at least four hours before kickoff.

Final
Final score and recap
Green Bay Packers 23, Dallas Cowboys 13
The Green Bay Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 23-13 at Lambeau Field, building a 17-0 halftime advantage and protecting it with takeaways and reliable kicking. Green Bay scored seven points in the first quarter and 10 in the second, then added three in each of the final two periods. Dallas answered with seven points in the third and six in the fourth, but the Packers’ early production left enough margin for a 10-point victory. Green Bay’s passing game produced the clearest offensive advantage. Jordan Love completed 23 of 41 passes for 276 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Although the 56.1% completion rate and three sacks taken show that the performance was not spotless, Love averaged 6.7 yards per attempt and posted a 74.8 passer rating. He also ran four times for 12 yards and a touchdown, accounting for both a passing score and a rushing score. The leading target was Matthew Golden, who caught six of 13 targets for 104 yards and Green Bay’s receiving touchdown. His 17.3 yards per reception and 37-yard long gain gave the Packers their most productive receiving line. Christian Watson added 64 yards on three receptions, averaging 21.3 yards per catch with a long of 28. Tucker Kraft supplied five catches for 37 yards, while Savion Williams caught all four of his targets for 32 yards and added nine rushing yards. The distribution gave Love several useful options even though Golden was the only Packers receiver to reach the end zone. The running game was much less efficient. Pierre Strong Jr. led Green Bay’s listed running backs with 28 yards on 11 carries, a 2.5-yard average. MarShawn Lloyd managed 10 yards on eight attempts, while Love’s 12 yards included the unit’s only rushing touchdown. Those numbers indicate that the Packers did not win through consistent rushing efficiency. The scoring support instead came from rookie kicker Trey Smack, who made all three field-goal attempts, including a long of 44 yards, and both extra points. His 11 points represented nearly half of Green Bay’s total. Defensively, the Packers made Dallas pay for a high-volume passing approach. Dak Prescott completed 34 of 54 attempts for 258 yards and one touchdown, but he threw two interceptions, averaged only 4.8 yards per attempt and finished with a 65.2 passer rating. Evan Williams recorded one of Green Bay’s interceptions and returned it 17 yards while also making six tackles and defending a pass. Rookie cornerback Brandon Cisse had the other, returning it five yards and adding two passes defended. Green Bay’s coverage also generated activity beyond the interceptions. Javon Bullard finished with six tackles and a team-high three passes defended, while Keisean Nixon made eight solo tackles. Ty'Ron Hopper contributed five tackles and a pass defended. Up front, Lukas Van Ness registered Green Bay’s sack, one tackle for loss and one quarterback hit. Barryn Sorrell did not record a sack but supplied two quarterback hits and a tackle for loss. Dallas still found production from several skill players. Javonte Williams rushed 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown, and Ryan Flournoy caught seven passes for 40 yards and the Cowboys’ receiving score. CeeDee Lamb drew 18 targets and caught nine passes for 70 yards, while George Pickens led Dallas with 73 receiving yards on six catches. Yet the Cowboys’ 54 pass attempts produced fewer passing yards than Green Bay generated on 41, and the two interceptions reduced the value of that volume. The Packers also had flaws worth noting. Love threw an interception that Dee Winters recorded for Dallas, and he was sacked three times for 15 lost yards. Dallas defenders Quinnen Williams, Elijah Garcia and Kenny Clark each registered a sack, with Quinnen Williams adding two tackles for loss. Green Bay’s limited rushing output and Love’s 23 completions on 41 attempts leave room for a cleaner offensive showing, even within a victory. Still, the evidence from this game favors Green Bay in the areas that mattered most on the scoreboard. The Packers generated more passing yards on 13 fewer attempts, held a 2-1 advantage in interceptions and received a perfect three-for-three field-goal performance. Combined with the 17 unanswered points recorded before halftime, those edges were enough to withstand Dallas’ second-half scoring and secure the 23-13 result.
- Jordan Love produced 288 combined passing and rushing yards, with one touchdown through the air and another on the ground.
- Matthew Golden led Green Bay with 104 receiving yards and a touchdown, while Christian Watson averaged 21.3 yards per catch.
- Evan Williams and Brandon Cisse intercepted Dak Prescott, and Trey Smack converted all three field-goal attempts plus both extra points.
