Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes ahead of first start in Green Bay today, said, “If you love football, you love Lambeau Field.”
The stadium is the longest continuously occupied stadium in the NFL, with 47 years of occupation.
The field heating system includes more than 30 miles of radiant heating pipe, which can keep the field from freezing in the middle of winter.
If the pipes ever do freeze, hopefully the Packer has Giants’ QB, Tommy DeVito’s, dad on speed dial.
The third-generation New Jersey plumber has been in the business for 35 years. His Montclair-based firm DeVito Plumbing & Heating has seven employees.
“I’m probably the fastest boiler installer you’ve ever seen. I do all-day boilers in about three hours.”
Lambeau Field is the oldest stadium in the NFL. It opened on September 29, 1957, with a capacity of 32,150 seats. Today, it can seat over 81,000 fans.
Lambeau Field is named after Curly Lambeau, the founder and longtime coach of the Packers.

Lambeau went through three divorces, including one from his high school sweetheart. He earned a notorious playboy reputation. Single players often complained they had to compete with him for women when they were on the road or in Green Bay when Lambeau was between marriages.
Lambeau was married three times. His second wife, Susan Johnson, was a former Miss California. They were married from 1935 to 1940.
He then married Grace Garland in 1945 and they divorced in 1955.
He was engaged to Mary Jane Van Duyse at the time of his death. Mary Jane founded the team's Golden Girls cheerleading squad.
Numbers with Bet Openly
If you're betting, it doesn't make sense not to use Bet Openly. Rather than bet "against" a book, they set you up with people taking the opposite side. The benefit: rather than paying 10% tax to the book (-110) you "pay" 1% (-101).
0: There were no punts in Thursday’s Seahawks-Cowboys game. Just the fifth time since 1960 that has happened in an NFL game.
9.4: Brock Purdy is averaging 9.4 (!) yards per attempt this season and has 19 TDs against 6 INTs. That's the highest Y/A average in NFL history among players with a 3/1 TD/INT ratio or better.
10: The dropped pass rate at night at Arrowhead is the only stadium/game time combination in the NFL over 10%. Tyreek Hill is right -- it's hard to catch in Kansas City at night.

Browns at Rams (U40.5)
Sunday, 12/3 @ 8:20pm
Chiefs at Packers (+6)
The Packers defense might be getting back four starters in De'Vondre Campbell, Jaire Alexander, Darnell Savage, and Rudy Ford. They're all questionable but if they can get 1-2 of them back, it’ll be the healthiest they’ve been in weeks.
The Packers are 5-2 against the spread after playing the Lions under LaFleur and 19-6 ATS the game after playing an NFC North foe, which is the sixth-best mark of any head coach last 20 years.
Love has averaged 8.2 yards per attempt over his last two games. Having all his top three receivers — Christian Watson, Romeo Doubs and Jayden Reed — healthy and in the lineup has also made this offense much more dangerous.
Green Bay is seventh in the league at pressure rate and should be able to bother Mahomes just enough to create havoc and stall drives.
Mahomes has covered the spread when the Chiefs are more than a field goal favorite at only a 47% rate in his career.
Record
ATS: 32-32-3 (-1.82u)
O/U: 23-19 (+1.02)
