How The Times Have Changed
If you had known your Packerville, U.S.A. editor back in 1991 (the pre-Favre; pre-Holmgren; pre-winning era), you might have been offered the four tickets (shown above) to the Green Bay-Indianapolis game at Milwaukee County Stadium in November. Free. FREE. We already had tickets to the game via our season tickets, and were offered this set of four by a business supplier. It seems odd nowadays that no one would be interested in using four FREE tickets to a Packer game, but that was the case. We could not give them away. So, we still have them as a reminder of how people did not give the Packers the time of day prior to the Brett Favre era. In case you’re interested, Green Bay beat the Colts that day, 14-10, in front of 42,132 fans who saw QB Mike Tomczak lead the team to victory on a 29-degree day.
