A new sod system at Lambeau Field will present an obstacle for any of the heavyweight Green Bay Packers who score a touchdown and try to make the traditional Lambeau Leap into the fans in the first-row seats of the end zone.
>
The project has flattened out the field by reducing the crown in the middle from 14-inches to about five.
>
It's also removed a concrete hump in the end zone that heavier packers, like linemen, could use to aid their leap if they scored on an interception or fumble recovery.
>
The new sod on the field is expected to be in place May 11.
