The Green Bay Packers blame economic conditions for putting a planned $25 million expansion of Lambeau Field on hold.
The plan announced in July would add an elevated plaza to the stadium's south side and put in secure underground parking for players.
Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy said paying for it would require selling off some investments, and it's not a good time for that.
Patrick Webb, who serves as executive director of the stadium district, issued a statement saying the project is still in long-term plans, but the district supports the decision to defer it given the current state of financial markets.
The team is going ahead with work on the new Ray Nitschke practice field.
