Brew City Football in ’60

Today we make a stop in Milwaukee in what we believe is 1960, with the Packers playing the San Francisco 49ers on October 23rd. Above, Max McGee (#85) and Jerry Kramer (#64) can be seen watching the tackle being made on what is possibly fullback Jim Taylor. In the background is the Packers’ bench, which is next to the opposing team’s bench area. Both benches were on the outfield sideline, so as to give the folks in the infield box seats a view of the action.

In this photo, a 49ers player is being corralled eight yards shy of the goal line by Emlen Tunnell (#45) and Hank Gremminger (#46). At right is LB Tom Bettis (#65). The Packers were victors that day, 45-14 in front of 39,914 fans.
