Without Curly Lambeau, there would be no professional football in Green Bay.
With help from co-founder George Whitney Calhoun and The Hungry Five, Lambeau helped keep the NFL in Green Bay and prevented the Packers from going bankrupt on multiple occasions.
There may be no stronger expression of his impact on the Packers than the name of their current home stadium, Lambeau Field.
The venue opened in 1957 as the second City Stadium and was informally called "New" City Stadium for its first eight years.
Just two months after his death, the stadium was renamed Lambeau Field prior to the 1965 Green Bay Packers season to honor his contributions as founder, player, and coach.
Lambeau Field has become such an iconic facility that the Green Bay Packers and surrounding community have continued to remodel the stadium, instead of building a new one.
This has made Lambeau Field the oldest continually operating NFL stadium.
The name Lambeau is so strongly tied to the stadium, that the Packers have not sold naming rights to the stadium, instead choosing to sell naming rights to the various entrance gates.
During the 2003 renovation, the Packers erected a 14-foot (4.3 m) statue of Lambeau in front of the new Atrium entrance.
Lambeau Street, in Green Bay's Packerland Industrial Park, is also named in his honor.

As a player and coach, Lambeau is credited with pioneering daily practices, the forward pass in the NFL, implementing pass patterns, and having teams fly to road games.
He was a second-team All-Pro for three seasons (1922–1924) and was named to the NFL 1920s All-Decade Team.
As one of the last player-coaches, he also led the Packers to over 200 wins, won six NFL Championships, and coached eight future Pro Football Hall of Fame players on the Packers.
He became the first coach to lead an NFL team to three consecutive NFL Championships (1929–31), a feat that has only been matched once by Packers coach Vince Lombardi (1965–67).
For his contributions to football and athletics, Lambeau has been honored by multiple organizations.
In 1961 he was elected to the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame.
He was part of the inaugural class of Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963, and the inaugural class of the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in 1970.
