Packerville is Back

After many months off since the Brett Favre retirement announcement, “Packerville” is now back with a new look, and a renewed mission of bringing Packers history to the masses. So, to start out this season’s blog postings, we present a beautiful aerial image of Milwaukee County Stadium during the final game there on December 18, 1994. It was at the end of this game that Favre ran and dove into the end zone against Mike Holmgren’s wishes to score the winning touchdown. The Packers beat Atlanta that day 21-17 in front of 54,885 fans — including your “Packerville” editor.

We may return to the Ice Bowl overview (that we were working on when we took a break) at some point within the future.
