If you’re a family that revels in the excitement of football, the full-size football field in Titletown District is an experience you won’t want to miss.
One of the standout features is the field’s eco-conscious design; the infill is made from recycled Nike shoes, adding an innovative, sustainable element to your traditional football experience.
The field is not just for spectators; it’s designed for active participation. Whether you’re up for organized throwing contests or simply tossing a ball around with your kids, you’re encouraged to bring your own football and get into the game.
This offers a unique chance for young fans to imagine themselves in the shoes of their sports heroes while running on a real field, and provides a fantastic outlet for children (and adults) to expend some energy while enjoying America’s favorite pastime.
🏈 Pro Tip: Don’t forget to bring your own ball!

One standout feature that adds a unique twist is a timed 40-yard dash, offering kids (and perhaps some adventurous adults) the chance to test their speed just like professional athletes.
With football blocking pads, climbing structures, and open spaces for spontaneous games, the playground is a well-thought-out space that transforms the concept of “play” into a multidimensional experience.
It’s an ideal spot for families looking to keep their children active and entertained, all while soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of the Titletown District.

Ariens Hill is one of those rare places that manages to be engaging and picturesque in any season.

From burgers and wraps to salads and a children’s menu, the café offers a diverse array of options to satisfy even the pickiest eaters.

These restrooms are located near the Titletown apartments, at the far end of the full-size football field.

Their classic butter burgers and fries are the kind of comfort food that transcends generations, making it a hit with both young families and longtime locals.
But it’s not just the food that makes Kroll’s special. The walls are adorned with celebrity autographs and memorabilia tracing the Green Bay Packers’ storied history, adding a sense of nostalgia and community pride to your dining experience.
Eating at Kroll’s is like stepping into a living museum, one where the exhibits are delicious and the history is best consumed with a side of fries.
