Today’s image is from a game at Milwaukee’s County Stadium in the later Lombardi years, although we’re not exactly sure when. Coach Lombardi is watching the field action, as is defensive lineman Willie Davis (#87, foreground). One interesting note about the old County Stadium, which was razed after Miller Park was built for the Milwaukee Brewers, was that both teams stood along the same sideline. This was in what was the baseball outfield, and this was done so that the crowd sitting in the infield lower box seats would not have their view of the action blocked by players standing along the near sideline.
