Packers to install Bob Harlan's name on Lambeau Field facade
The honor will be officially unveiled during the 2026 season at a game to be announced once the NFL schedule is finalized.

The Green Bay Packers are set to honor one of the most influential figures in franchise history, announcing that the late Bob Harlan’s name will be permanently installed on the northeast façade of Lambeau Field.
Harlan, who passed away on March 5th at the age of 89, served as the team’s President and CEO from 1989 until his retirement in 2008 after first joining the organization in 1971. During his tenure, Harlan played a pivotal role in transforming Lambeau Field into the iconic venue it is today, helping secure the team’s long-term future in Green Bay while overseeing one of the most successful eras in franchise history.
Packers President and CEO Ed Policy emphasized Harlan’s lasting impact, noting that this recognition cements his place among the most important leaders the organization has ever known. The honor will be officially unveiled during the 2026 season at a game to be announced once the NFL schedule is finalized.
Harlan’s name will appear in a designated area on the northeast corner of the façade, joining former general manager Ted Thompson, who was similarly honored in 2021. While the façade traditionally celebrates Hall of Fame players and coaches, this distinction underscores Harlan’s unique and enduring legacy as a steward of the franchise.

Yea, that's great news.
I would have preferred they would have done it sometime in the last 18 years...when he was alive to enjoy it.

Exactly what I was going to post. In my eyes Bob Harlan was "Mr. Packers" and wished badly more was done to honor this great man while he was still with us. We have one statue of Vince Lombardi outside of Lambeau and I wouldn't mind in the least to see another outside of Lambeau of Bob Harlan.
