Some More From 1976...

The Packerville, U.S.A. Time Machine has stopped back in 1976 again, this time for a preseason game vs. the brand-new Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Milwaukee County Stadium. Many may not know that the expansion team was put together by future Packers’ GM Ron Wolf.

A two-page photo essay on the Packers’ “Fan Photo Day.” The team used to have this event every year during Training Camp, but discontinued the tradition in the early 1990’s due to overwhelming crowds once Mike Holmgren and Brett Favre came on the scene. We went in the late 1980’s, and there couldn’t have been more than a couple hundred people there. Success sometimes kills traditions.
