1965 Training Camp Preview

For the 60th anniversary of the 1965 Green Bay Packers championship season, we are presenting the “Touchdown Edition” season preview issue from the Green Bay Press-Gazette. This probably has a limited-interest audience, but it’s here for those folks, and for football posterity. Enjoy a look back at the players of the Lombardi Era, and all of the vintage local ads.

On the Road to Green Bay — 1966

Have you ever wondered about the details of traveling to an away game in Green Bay if you were a Packers’ opponent in, say, 1966? Well, this post is for you. Here is George Halas’ copy of the travel details for the November 19-20, 1966 road trip to play the Packers. Interesting to see some names that are current in Green Bay, such as the revitalized Hotel Northland and Schneider Transport & Storage (now known as Schneider National, Inc.)

By the way, the Packers beat the Bears 13-6 on Sunday, November 20, 1966. You can check out the box score and all of the stats HERE.
