The hallowed Lambeau Field looks better suited for motocross than football right now.

Crews tore up the playing surface in the Packers stadium to replace it with a similar natural grass surface.

During the project, the irrigation and heating systems under the field are being replaced, as is the rubber apron around the field.

New sod will be installed starting in May, then it will take two or three weeks to to stitch the pieces of sod together with synthetic fibers.

The Packers say fans won't notice the changes, most of which are underground.

Forty-three miles of tubing will be installed to heat the playing surface, making it better for football games in Wisconsin's late fall and winter seasons.

The entire project should be finished before the annual Family Night scrimmage, the organization says.
