Steve Chaggaris of CBS News reports:

On Wednesday, Kerry made his third visit to Green Bay, Wis., this year and made it a point to focus on the main thing the city revolves around: football and the Green Bay Packers...

As he was taking questions from the audience, he referred to the legendary Packers stadium, Lambeau Field (which has been called that for 39 years) as "Lambert Field."

If the voters catch wind of that gaffe, it could take Kerry another three visits to Green Bay to make up for it.

(shaking head) Lambert field? Lambert field? Has this man never watched Sportscenter? Never listened to Chris Berman? Has he never heard John Facenda's NFL Films voice? The low, rumbling Voice-of-God? As in, "the Frozen tundra of (already-deep voice dropping another four octaves) Lammmbeauuuu Field..."

UPDATE: Teeming millions of Kerry Spot readers have emailed in that Lambert Field is the old name of the St. Louis Airport. Others have wondered how Kerry could botch a name that sounds French. And still others have observed that Jack Lambert is a Swift Boat Vet from PCF-51 who has come forward, appearing to support Kerry's version of events, stating, "Well, I sure was under the impression we were [under fire]." This interpretation suggests Kerry has Swift Boat Vets for Truth on his brain.
