Lambeau is the friendliest stadium in the NFL to arrive at, and the Packers say the quiet part out loud on their own website: free parking is available on residential streets within walking distance. Every space in the surrounding lots is sold out to season pass holders, so what is left for visitors is the thing Green Bay is actually famous for, parking on someone's lawn or street in the neighborhood and walking in. On top of that, Green Bay Metro runs four free game-day bus routes starting five hours before kickoff. Between free streets and free buses, this is the cheapest NFL city to attend a game in, and it is not close.
The short answer
Free and officially acknowledged: residential street parking within walking distance. Also free: four Green Bay Metro game-day bus routes, running from five hours before kickoff. Paid options: neighborhood lawns and private lots at variable cash rates, or a Lot 15 pass in Titletown, where tailgating is not allowed. Accessible parking is $50 cashless in Lots 4 and 7, first come. Tailgate setups are capped at 9 by 6 feet directly behind your vehicle, and tailgating ends at kickoff in stadium lots.

Every option, in detail
Free street
Free residential street parking
FreeWithin walking distance of the stadium /// Anytime, first come first served
The Packers list free parking on residential streets within walking distance as an official option on their own parking page, which no other NFL team does. Lambeau sits in an ordinary neighborhood, and on game day the surrounding streets fill with cars belonging to people who paid nothing.
Heads up: Read the signs on your block and respect the neighborhood, because these are people's homes and the arrangement works because fans do not abuse it. Arrive early, since free street spots go first, and expect a longer walk the later you arrive.

Free street
Free Green Bay Metro game-day buses
FreeRoutes serve the stadium /// Service begins 5 hours before kickoff
Green Bay Metro runs four free game-day bus routes, and they start five hours before kickoff, which is earlier than most stadiums even open their lots. Park somewhere sensible in the city and ride in for nothing.
Heads up: Confirm the routes and the post-game schedule with Green Bay Metro for your specific game, particularly for a late kickoff.

Community lot
Neighborhood lawns and private lots
Variable cash rates set by each ownerVaries, most within a short walk /// Game day, owners set their own hours
Private property owners throughout the area sell parking on game days, which is the Green Bay institution people travel to experience. Rates vary by owner and by proximity, and it is cash.
Heads up: We are deliberately not naming operators. These are individual homeowners rather than businesses, they change year to year, and prices are whatever the owner decides that morning. Bring cash and expect to negotiate nothing.

Stadium lot
Lot 15 (Titletown)
Pre-purchase through Ticketmaster, price variesIn Titletown, adjacent to the stadium /// Game day
A limited number of Lot 15 passes in Titletown are available to pre-purchase, delivered as digital passes on your phone. This is the main way for a visiting fan to reserve an actual space rather than trusting the streets.
Heads up: Tailgating is prohibited in Lot 15. If the tailgate is the reason you came to Green Bay, this is the wrong lot, and the neighborhood is where you want to be.

Stadium lot
Reserved individual game parking through PMI
Varies by lot and gameNearby lots /// Game day
PMI handles reservations for nearby lots, reachable through their booking site or at 800-895-0071. They also handle bus and RV parking, which the standard lots cannot accommodate.
Heads up: Standard lot spaces require your vehicle to fit within a 9 by 18 foot stall, so anything larger needs the PMI bus and RV arrangement rather than a regular space.

Stadium lot
Accessible parking (Lots 4 and 7)
$50, cashlessAt the stadium /// First come, first served
Non-reserved accessible parking sits in Lot 4 off Lombardi Avenue and Lot 7 off Valley View Road, both first come, first served and both cashless.
Heads up: Cashless means card or mobile only, which is worth knowing in a city where so much of the game-day parking economy runs on cash. First come also means early, since neither lot reserves spaces.

When to get there
Free street spots and neighborhood lawns go early, so arrival time directly determines both what you pay and how far you walk. The free buses start five hours before kickoff, which tells you when Green Bay considers the day to begin. If you want the full experience, treat this as an all-day trip rather than a two-hour one.
Getting out after
The neighborhood empties onto residential streets rather than highway ramps, which is slower in a different way than most stadiums. If you parked free on a street, you are subject to whatever the block is doing. The free buses and rideshare from the Mike McCarthy Way and Holmgren Way corner both sidestep it.
Tailgating rules
Tailgating at Lambeau is tightly bounded in the stadium-controlled lots: your setup must fit within a 9 by 6 foot space directly behind your parked vehicle, in a 9 by 18 stall. Charcoal and propane grills are allowed if supervised. Tailgating ends at kickoff in stadium lots.
Prohibited: recreational fires and turkey fryers. And note Lot 15 in Titletown does not allow tailgating at all. The famous Green Bay tailgate scene largely happens on the neighborhood lawns and private lots rather than in the stadium-controlled ones, where the rules are stricter and the space is smaller.
