Green Bay is getting ready to make hockey history. The Wisconsin Badgers have announced the Travel Wisconsin Frozen Tundra Faceoff, a one-of-a-kind outdoor hockey doubleheader scheduled for February 20, 2027, at the iconic Lambeau Field — home of the Green Bay Packers.

The event will feature both the Wisconsin Badgers men’s and women’s hockey teams facing off against Big Ten rivals. According to the Wisconsin Badgers official announcement, the men’s team will take on Michigan while the women’s program is also set to compete, making it a full day of college hockey on the frozen tundra of one of the most storied stadiums in American sports.

For Green Bay, the excitement goes well beyond the games themselves. The event is expected to be a major economic boost for the community. According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, the Badgers hockey doubleheader at Lambeau could generate approximately $15 million locally — a welcome shot of energy for area businesses, hotels, and restaurants.
