On February 20, 2027, Lambeau Field will host a college hockey doubleheader, branded the Frozen Tundra Faceoff, featuring Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio State. The Green Bay Press‑Gazette estimates the event could generate $15 million locally. The doubleheader will feature back‑to‑back games, giving both men’s and women’s teams a chance to compete on the historic turf.
WLUK reported signage around the stadium hinting at a ‘non‑concert’ event, while the Green Bay Packers organization confirmed the February schedule. Photos from a 2006 Wisconsin‑Ohio State men’s game at the stadium, referenced by the Green Bay Press‑Gazette, illustrate the venue’s occasional use for ice sport. University of Michigan Athletics announced its men’s team will travel to Green Bay, joining the Badgers men’s and women’s squads and Ohio State’s program for the February showdown.
WBAY reported the stadium board’s clearance as a green light for the logistics and safety planning required for an outdoor ice surface. The February 20 date places the event early in the 2027 college hockey season, positioning it as a marquee showcase.
