1981 Week 11 - Chicago at Green Bay 

You could actually play defense back then

I grew up in Milwaukee during the 70's and 80's. County🏟Stadium🏟 was a great ⚾️Baseball⚾️🏟Stadium🏟, but a not so good Football stadium. Both teams on the same side of the field made it tough for teams I'm sure. I was lucky enough to attend a few Packers games before it was demolished. I saw the 🦁🦁Detroit🦁Lions🦁🦁 in the 70's with my Dad and Grandpa. Then during the 80's I went to a few more games. Most were the "weaker" or less popular teams. The 🐻Chicago🐻Bears🐻 were one the one team Milwaukee rarely got to see. I've never seen the Bears vs Packers live before either in Milwaukee or Green Bay. I've seen the Lions quite a few times however. The Buccaneers once or twice. While I did love Milwaukee County Stadium, especially for Brewers games, Packers games while not ideal, were still FUN! Except back then the Packers weren't nearly as good as they had later become. The one thing that was a bummer about Milwaukee County Stadium having games was that if they didn't sell out, the games were "Blacked-Out" meaning we weren't able to watch the game on 📺TV📺. S Since the Packers weren't the team they were in the 90's and 2000's there were a few games that didn't sell out. Not many but enough to make some Green Bay natives not happy that the Packers were even in Milwaukee. It was a really odd situation. Eventually the Packers fans got their wish and Green Bay left Milwaukee for good once Miller Park was built. It was a bummer but when I finally was able to attend a Packers game at Lambeau Field, and I was able to "compare" the two.... THERE WAS NO COMPARISON! Obviously Lambeau Field was a much better place than County Stadium. But being there for a game for the first time was absolutely incredible, amazing, awe inspiring, and breathtaking! EVERY part of it was so better. The seating while not made for "comfort", gave you a clearer view of the action. Even in the end-zone your seats still gave you a completely unobstructed view of the field. Now many of the seats at Milwaukee County Stadium were nicer 💺seats🪑, only the bleachers matched up with Lambeau Field. While those seats gave you a backrest and more "comfort", the view you had depending on where you were weren't always good views. It was what it was though, and again while not the most ideal place for a football game it was still an amazing experience, especially for a little kid growing up. Seeing my first NFL game with my Grandpa and my Dad was a special memory, and a great day that got my love for football rolling. My experiences at Milwaukee County Stadium for Brewers games? I was blessed with parents who loved baseball and took me to well over 100 games from 1978 to 1984. I spent many summers at the ballpark, and they are some of the most amazing days of my childhood!
