30 years ago this fall, the Packers wrapped up their part-time tenure in Milwaukee.
The Packers are remembering the end of something this fall. 30 years ago, they played their final game in Milwaukee County Stadium — and what a game it was.
Fans got to see Brett Favre perform a Favre-ian feat, taking off on an ill-advised scramble for the end zone with time ticking down and the Packers trailing. Of course, Favre being Favre, it worked, and the Packers won their appearance in their part-time home.
There are tons of other little nuggets from that game, many of which are outlined in the story below. Some of them had long-term ramifications, like Sterling Sharpe’s injury, which would ultimately end his career. Others are just fun historical happenstance, like Clay Matthews’ dad being on the field for the Falcons that day.
In any case, it’s a fun trip down memory lane, and a story well told.
