“The weather in an area was as much a part of the team as the logo and the uniform. With domes, everyplace is like everyplace else.”
Very well said. The Packers will never give up their arctic statium.
Anyone here remember that 1967 Championship game between the Packers and the Cowboys? I remember one of the announcers saying that he was going to have a “bite” of his coffee. It had frozen solid during their discussion.
That game was a heartbreak loss for this Cowboy fan. The Packers pulled out a win (led by Bart Starr) in the last couple of a minutes of the game. What a great game that was - I was only 14 at the time but I still remember Bart Starr, at the Cowboys one yard line, jumping over the struggling linemen on both sides for the winning touchdown. Wonderful memories.
Another case in point, the Vikes. Four Super Bowls when they played at The Met, since they moved indoors...ZIP!
