Will Lambeau Field allow guns?

GREEN BAY - Could guns soon be allowed inside Lambeau Field with the approval of concealed carry?

Wisconsin is expected to become the 49th state that allows concealed carry. That means adults with permits and proper training can bring a concealed hand gun into public buildings and state parks but what about Lambeau Field?

 “I don't know enough about Wisconsin's specific law to know if the stadiums are exempt or not or can be exempt,” said Stadium district Executive Director, Pat Webb.

The bill prohibits concealed carry in buildings owned or leased by the state... says that language just adds to the confusion.

“The building itself is a government owned building, but whether it's considered a government building for the definitions of any kind of law, I don't know that at this point in time,” said Webb.

“Right now we're dissecting the law. We are reading it. We're going to consult with the city's attorneys, with the Packers organization,” said Green Bay Police Captain Paul Ebel.

Ebel says the police staff will tackle whatever the law requires it to, however...

“I think common sense will prevail in something like that,” said Ebel.

Chris Morley supports concealed carry in Wisconsin. He says after being mugged several times in Chicago, he thinks it's necessary for people to protect themselves; but when it comes to guns in Lambeau Field…

“I would feel probably no need to protect myself in Lambeau Field,” said Morley. “I can understand that it's a new law and that they quite don't understand the ramifications of it.”

While Morley says he understands if guns are banned at Lambeau, but he doesn't think concealed carry inside the field would lead to shootings at games.

“People who pass background checks are far less likely to engage in that kind of behavior,” said Morley.

If the governor signs the bill into law, concealed carry would go into effect in either October or November. But Packers officials and law officials say they hope to have this issue figured out well before then.

The NFL says guns are not allowed in any NFL stadium. The Stadium District says it will hold a meeting next month about concealed carry and its effect on Lambeau Field.
