The Met Life Blimp

The Blimp (I assume) is in town for the Packers-Bengals game on Sunday. I took this shot as (I assume) they were taking cut shots to play during the telecast. I guess I pulled a reverse on them.

City Stadium Take Two

In honor of the Packer Game tonight against the reigning NFC champion Cardinals, I figured I'd finish with slightly wider angle photo of City Stadium.

Green Bay Packers: Olde City Stadium Sign

This is the sign at the sight of the Olde City Stadium (New City Stadium ... is now Lambeau Field). This is the football stadium on the site of East High School. It's on the east side of Green Bay just around the corner from "The Jo".

Teams used the locker rooms inside the high school, which were so inadequate opposing teams often changed in their hotel rooms.

The Green Bay Packers played here from 1933 - 1956. They moved from this site under threat from the NFL. The Packers were to permanently movie to Milwaukee if their facilities didn't improve.

In 1933 there were 6,000 seats and by 1956 there were 25,000.
