Yesterday, the Packers unveiled a new monument at Lambeau Field; a 50-foot replica of the Lombardi Trophy in the lobby just inside the new American Family Insurance Gate.

Whoa. This thing is absolutely massive. Designed and built by a company in Florida, it was shipped in ten pieces to Miron Construction in Neenah, where it chromed by a team of 16 craftsmen over ten weeks. The pieces were then brought to Lambeau Field, where Miron assembled it in place.

It completely dominates the lobby, and will be visible from the new Packers Hall of Fame and the new atrium restaurant replacing Curly's Pub.
The new gate was added to ease traffic flow, but I wonder what this massive installation will do to hamper the movement of thousands of fans trying to enter the stadium at once. How many will want to stop and take photos, and will that create long lines?

Stunning. But where are the five-foot tall fingerprints?

The Packers also released this infographic:

Green Bay's very own Colossus of Rhodes.
