Ray Nitschke Field

Ray Nitschke Field is one of the two outdoor practice facilities of the Green Bay Packers (the other being Clarke Hinkle Field). These fields, together with the Don Hutson Center, comprise the team's training complex.

The field is named for Ray Nitschke, who played for the Packers from 1958 to 1972 and whose #66 was retired by the team. Nitschke is a member of the member of both the Pro Football and Packers Hall of Fames.

On June 18, 2003, the Brown County Board voted 23-0 to approve a new lease for Ray Nitschke Field which gave the Packers the use of the site through 2020. The lease began in 2004 and started at $125,000 with an increase of $5,000 in each succeeding year.The Packers had been leasing the field from the County since 1997 for $15,000 a year.

Ray Nitschke Field has an artificial FieldTurf surface, installed in 2004 (Clarke Hinkle Field has a natural grass surface).
