The photo above appeared in a recent issue of Sports Illustrated, showing our Packers playing the Chicago Bears in Wrigley Field in 1963. Football returned to Wrigley this past Saturday, when Northwestern played Illinois. The Bears played there from 1921 through 1970 before moving permanently to Soldier Field by the lakefront in downtown. The Wrigley football field ran along the third base line, and temporary stands were erected in the center and right fields to go along the East sideline.
The year this photo was taken turned out to be Chicago’s championship year, their last until 1985. The Packers lost twice to the Bears that season, ensuring that the Bears would win the conference.
How about that win today over our enemies from across the St. Croix?
