Old City Stadium Last Remains


In today’s posting, we have Part IV of our photos from the Green Bay Press-Gazette Collection of the Neville Public Museum of Brown County. The caption reads: “Ferrari Wrecking Company demolishes the old Green Bay City Stadium press box while Ted Fritsch, Jug Earp, and other ex-Packers and fans watch. While the Green Bay Packers began playing games in the new City Stadium in 1957, the old City Stadium remained intact until the week of July 11, 1966. A small group of mourners came to watch as all but the surrounding wall of the stadium was razed. Unlike the launch of the new stadium, there was very little media coverage about the event.”
