Game action from the previous week’s Western Conference Playoff game. The Packers beat the Baltimore Colts on a overtime field goal by Don Chandler to come out on top, 13-10. Chandler’s field goal to tie the game is still disputed today, and resulted in the goal post uprights being extended vertically for the 1966 season.
We liked this Coca-Cola ad with all of the team logos on the insides of the bottle caps. Bottle caps... remember them?
Along with more Packer portraits, we see an ad for the Hotel Northland. This building is still there, now used as lower income housing. About 150 seniors and disabled people live in the Port Plaza Towers (the Northland’s newer name), but not for much longer. City leaders plan to restore it to the historic hotel it once was. “Some people will say we have a lot of hotel rooms. Sure but do we have the right hotel rooms? There's a call from conventioneers, people and they're going to support this renovated first class hotel,” said Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt.
The Hotel Northland opened in 1924. For more than 50 years it hosted elegant parties, banquets and visiting N.F.L. teams. Schmitt believes it can once again be not only a place to stay, but a social center for the downtown. In the olden days, Green Bay fans would keep visiting teams up half the night by driving around the block and honking their horns. Anything to help the home team!
