The Ice Bowl Game (1967)

Lore & Background

The Packers split their home schedule between Green Bay and Milwaukee from 1933 to 1994. Threats by the league to relocate the Packers permanently to Milwaukee caused the team to replace City Stadium with Lambeau Field. By 1995, expansions to Lambeau Field made it feasible for the team to remain in Green Bay full time. The 1939 Championship between the Packers and the New York Giants was played at State Fair Park; the Packers won 27–0. A 1931 championship against the Portsmouth Spartans was also scheduled for Milwaukee but was called off.

Reader's Guide

The Packers maintain two season ticket plans: Gold package holders (largely former Milwaukee season ticket holders) have a three-game package consisting of the annual Midwest Shrine preseason contest plus the second and fifth regular-season home games each year; Green package holders (original Green Bay ticket holders) attend the annual Bishop's Charities preseason game and the remaining six of the first eight regular-season contests. The ninth regular season home game (hosted by NFC teams in even numbered seasons only) is alternated between Green and Gold package holders. Green package holders have right of first refusal to playoff tickets, followed by Gold package holders.
