50th First NFL Game Anniversary (Two Days Late)

With Family Night going on, I forgot to mark August 5th as the 50th anniversary of my first ever NFL/Packers game, a 13-13 preseason tie with the Bears in Milwaukee in 1973. The caption to the phone above: “Packers kicker Chester Marcol's 39-yard field goal kick misses its mark, and Green Bay has to settle for a 13-13 tie in an exhibition game against the Chicago Bears at Milwaukee's County Stadium on Aug. 5, 1973.” Henry A. Koshollek/Milwaukee Journal

Lo, these many years later, this coming season will mark 33 years of being a season ticket holder.
