Lombardi in Tiger Stadium — Detroit
Now that the Brett Favre/Ted Thompson media circus and festival of misunderstanding is over — for the time being, at least — we turn our attention back to the past. Green Bay Packers history is the one overall continuing theme of this blog, as you will see over time. We have an extensive archive of Packers printed material — magazines, programs, books, etc. — and we’ll be sharing many images, articles, and old ads from this collection in the months to come. More specifically, as we get towards December and the 40th anniversary of the famed “Ice Bowl,” we will concentrate on that to mark the occasion.
Back to today’s posting... we have an image of Green Bay head coach Vince Lombardi on the field during pre-game warmups in Detroit’s Tiger Stadium. There is a lack of visual clues to determine the exact year of the photo, but let us just say that over the years, this has been one of our favorite photos of Coach Lombardi.
