Bellevue Park was the name of a stadium used for football games in Green Bay, Wisconsin. A minor league baseball park, it was the home of the Green Bay Packers of the NFL in 1923 and 1924.
Bellevue Park was the second home of the Packers, who had previously played their home games at Hagemeister Park. Bellevue Park was just east of the Hagemeister Brewery, which was renamed the "Bellevue Products Co." during Prohibition, and was located just east of Baird Creek along Main Street in the village of Preble. During their tenure at Bellevue Park, the Packers became more popular, with crowds ranging from 4,000 to 5,000.
Because Bellevue Park was lacking virtually every facility required for football and was too far out of town, in 1925, the Packers moved their games to the then brand new City Stadium.
