Michigan to play at Lambeau Field

Michigan’s hockey program is headed back outdoors, this time to one of the most recognizable venues in American sports. The school said Wednesday that the Wolverines will face Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in Green Bay on February 20, 2027, in an outdoor Big Ten matchup. The game will be part of the Travel Wisconsin Frozen Tundra Faceoff, a daylong college hockey event at the home of the Green Bay Packers. (mgoblue.com) ### Why is this game at Lambeau Field instead of a campus arena? (uwbadgers.com) Lambeau Field will host the men’s Michigan-Wisconsin game as part of an outdoor doubleheader organized by Wisconsin, the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, the Green Bay Packers and TEG Sport, working with Russ Potts Productions. (frozentundrafaceoff.com) Wisconsin’s women’s team is also scheduled to play Ohio State the same day. Green Bay has hosted college hockey at Lambeau before, but not recently. Organizers said the 2027 event will mark the first time college hockey has returned to the stadium since 2006. Local reports said Wisconsin last played there on February 11, 2006, when the Badgers men beat Ohio State 4-2 in the Frozen Tundra Classic. (mgoblue.com) ### Is this a one-off game or part of a full Michigan-Wisconsin series? College Hockey News reported that Michigan and Wisconsin are also scheduled to play on February 19 at Wisconsin’s Kohl Center in Madison, with the February 20 matchup moving outdoors to Lambeau. That means the outdoor game appears set to anchor a two-game series weekend between the programs. (uwbadgers.com) Michigan described the Lambeau matchup as the Wolverines’ 11th outdoor game in program history. That gives the event some continuity with a program that has regularly been used in marquee outdoor settings, rather than treating it as a one-time novelty. (uwbadgers.com) ### What exactly has been announced so far? Michigan’s athletic department said the opponent, venue and date are set, but several game-day details are still to come. The school said puck-drop time, broadcast information and additional event details will be announced later. (collegehockeynews.com) The Packers’ event page and the Frozen Tundra Faceoff presale page use the full event branding and confirm the same February 20, 2027 date in Green Bay. The presale site says fans can register now for access to an exclusive presale. (mgoblue.com) ### When do tickets go on sale? The Frozen Tundra Faceoff presale page says presale access begins Wednesday, September 9, at 10 a.m. Central Time. General public ticket sales are scheduled to begin Friday, September 11. Those dates are the clearest next steps for fans because neither school’s announcement included a full seating map, pricing breakdown or broadcast assignment. For now, the event website is the main place organizers are directing fans for ticket registration. (mgoblue.com) ### Why does the announcement mention Ohio State too? Wisconsin’s women’s team is part of the same Lambeau event, with the Badgers scheduled to face Ohio State in the other game of the doubleheader. (packers.com) That gives the February 20 program two conference matchups and places both Wisconsin hockey teams on the same outdoor stage. (frozentundrafaceoff.com) The next confirmed dates tied to the event are September 9 for presale access and September 11 for general sales, with puck-drop times and broadcast details still pending from organizers.
