Thanks! I've been hoping this would show up forever. Was watching live, and the slop games are great! I was in Chicago so the Bears game must not have been a sellout since they were showing this game.
I'm sixty six, a Bills fan, and really don't recall this game since it's so long ago, but I KNOW I've never, ever seen a game by ANY team where one team FUMBLES the ball the first FOUR times it touches it - literally. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🌟🏈👏👏👏Ohhh, this is SUPER!! THANKSSSS🙏👌😎 so much for posting clips of this game!!>>>Please, if I may ask, do you also have the '82 Week~#2 game with Buffalo vs. Minnesota to put up here too?!! It was a 1~point win for the Bills & a GREAT game; it would be SO COOL to re~live it again here, if you can swing it!!
Why were they playing this game in Milwaukee? I do remember back in the day when the Packers used to play a couple of games a season in Milwaukee for whatever reason.
Happenstance. The Packers played a couple games a year in Milwaukee till the 90s. The may have done it once or twice since because of renovations. 82 was strike shortened but most of the remaining home games for GB were scheduled for Milwaukee.
@@classicsports5057 Generally, the Packers played 5 home games in Green Bay and 3 in Milwaukee. When they started expanding Lambeau Field the Packers began to lose money on the County Stadium games. The last year of this arrangement was 1994 and the Packers have not played there since. But the team still has two home markets. If a game is on NFL Network or Amazon, it must be broadcast in both Green Bay and Milwaukee. There are still two season ticket packages too.
Also, for many years, Lambeau did not have adequate lights for televising night games. So any Monday Night or assorted prime time game had to be in Milwaukee. That changed around the time of this game, IIRC.
The Packers played games in Milwaukee from 1933-1994, starting first with games at State Fair Park, moving to Marquette for a season in 1952, and then at Milwaukee County Stadium. With limited attendance capacity at (Old) City Stadium in Green Bay, games in Milwaukee increased the potential gate receipts, and it is doubtful that the Packers could have survived the lean years of the 1950's without those Milwaukee games. With the construction of New City Stadium (Lambeau Field) in 1957, that economic situation began to change. Still, the Packers owed much to the loyalty of the Milwaukee fan base, and Vince Lombardi rewarded them with a playoff game in 1967. Eventually, games in Milwaukee became less economically feasible and the Packers moved all of their home games to Green Bay in 1995. However, the Packers still gave the Milwaukee season ticket holders an opportunity to take a package of three games a year, and many fans took advantage of the offer. As one poster mentioned, the lighting at County Stadium was better suited to night games in the early years, but the Packers upgraded the Lambeau Field lighting in 1979, solving that problem.
Instead of the frozen tundra, they should call this football game the soaking quagmire, muddy tundra at Milwaukee County Stadium, P.S. This is real pure NFL football, rain, cold and gooey mud!!
