The playing surface at Lambeau Field is getting an offseason update.

The Green Bay Packers have started replacing the turf at 1265 Lombardi Ave., a process planned since last year and shown below by Richard Ryman of the Green Bay Press-Gazette:

In October, the Packers announced the decision to replace the field. The team plans to install the same turf while using the opportunity to update some of the supporting features.

“This field has served us very well, and it’s simply time to replace it with a new version of the same field,” Packers fields manager Allen Johnson said, according to team’s official website. “We’re also looking forward to making some updates to systems that help us maintain the field, which will allow us to have an even better playing surface for the team.”

The project is expected to take several months, with a finishing date planned for early August. The Packers will play on the new surface for the first time during the team’s annual “Family Night Scrimmage” early in training camp.

The update should be good news for players. The surface at Lambeau Field was slick for several games in 2017.
