Today’s posting features a photo from a 1960’s practice, in which Paul Hornung (#5) hones his field goal skills with quarterback Bart Starr (#15) holding the ball. While the subjects of the photo are interesting enough, it is interesting also to notice the background, where we can see the old shed which held practice equipment. This is at what is now the corner of Oneida Street and Potts Avenue, where there is no shed anymore.
The houses in the background all remain, as does the duplex at the left side of the photo. And, as we’ve also seen in earlier photos, there is no fencing as a barrier between the fans and the practice field, just a wooden rail that the fans are leaning on while watching the proceedings.
A simpler time.
