Today, we thought we’d show a photo of what the Lambeau Field press box looked like in the 1960’s. The new press box looks nothing like this, and is probably three times larger (we’ve been inside).We would also like to acknowledge the correction sent in by one of our regular viewers — “Tom” — who pointed out that our posting from Friday could not be from the 1966 Packers-Vikings game. We don’t pretend to be perfect, but we do strive for historical accuracy. The photo is most likely from 1964 or perhaps earlier. He called our attention to the fact that the Vikings did not wear purple pants in ’66, and that Dan Currie did not play for Green Bay after 1964. Should anyone notice other mistakes here at “Packerville,” please let us know.
If we had taken more time to analyze the image instead of believing the original publication (“50 Years of Professional Football”), we might have caught the error ourselves.
