Newly added atrium provides hundreds of new jobs
According to a study by AECOM the Packers and Lambeau Field had an economic impact of $282 million dollar impact on the local community.  That number is a sharp spike from the total in 2000 and inflation has a little bit to do with that but the main reason is the renovation to Lambeau Field that took place in 2003 and the added jobs and attractions that the renovation included.  The study conducted by AECOM also produced statistics that can be taken into consideration when planning future events and improvements that can be held at the stadium in years to come.
