I was 10 , my Dad had 4 tickets , so took me and my two older brothers . I did NOT want to go , but he said it’ll be over in 3 hours and they’d let me stay up to ring in the New Year . Growing up in Wisconsin , you knew how to dress for the elements , so I don’t really remember being cold . We were sitting on about the 20 yard line near the end zone that Starr had his sneak , so we had a great view . Though I initially didn’t want to go , I am so glad my Dad coerced me into attending . My brothers and I still talk about that day and how fortunate we were to attend that game , AND to be Packer fans .
My Dad took my sister who doesn’t have one ounce of sports in her blood !! I begged to go ☹️he had to leave early. I would have froze solid before I’d ask to leave. Geez I’m still mad about that !!! Lol 😝 that’s a packer fan !!!
My Grandma & Grandpa were at the game, and she said it was like all hell broke loose when Bart crossed that goal line. A very large portion of ppl, to say the least, had a few drinks in them and the chaos didn’t subside for a solid week. I’m so jealous 😂
When men played the game...i tip my cap to every one of those all-time greats of yesteryear!!.🧢.much appreciated at this address.....to all the old school folks still out there...enjoy your day!!👌
Dan Reeves told about how he was sitting on the bench next to Don Perkins and Reeves said, "We must be crazy to play in weather like this!" Perkins said, "Look up in the stands. Those people paid money to come out here and sit in this. THEY'RE the ones that are crazy!"
I was one years old then and still a Packer fan !!! I grew up with that kind of cold (cold really doesn’t bother kids) and usually snow on or right after Halloween. Sledding by Thanksgiving. No spring until end of May. Jumped off our roof into snow as fun ! Had to shovel the roof also- not fun !!! Over 30 years of my life like that. And we will NEVER see it again. That’s why I’m so thankful for people like you sharing these videos of the day !!!! Much appreciated!!! ❤ ❄️ ⛄️ 🥶
Some cool facts about the Icebowl: It is the coldest air temperature pro football game to have ever been played! One of the broadcasters said “well folks, I’m going to take a bite out of my coffee”. While the Cowboys players were bundled up in all sorts of Winter gear, Lombardi let the Packers were only coats, as he thought the Cowboys were trying to psych out the Packers. Packers and Cowboys fans brought in flasks of whiskey to keep themselves warm! The referees made the poor decision of not buying plastic whistles before the game, and one ref had his whistle get stuck to his lips, and when he ripped it off, skin came off and the blood dried the instant he ripped the whistle off his lips, then then just used hand signals. There were some cool facts about the Ice Bowl!!!
I was only 3 years old when this game was played but I'm extremely hooked on it, The history, weather, players etc, Any documented footage or actual CBS footage I can't get enough of.
Me to Jay ! I was only a couple of months old !! 3 months I think ) I would have loved to be a little older during that time !! Such respect, class, work ethic, great music and hair !! Great clothes and respect for woman. I could go on and on. And also the building the of Twin World Trade Center towers were being built. What a beautiful sight that would’ve been !! So I’ll stay in my dream that it was an amazing time frame ! Had to be- we were there 😝👍
Still the only NFL or college team to three-peat as champions since the Great Depression. Mind, body, and spirit, this is the best team in football history.
I was 5 years old, i dont remember the game, but i remember the adults talking about for years to follow, and i played football all winter in Michigan.
I was 2 years old, my dad and grandpa went to that game, we lived at 1728 Chateau Dr, 5 houses away from Bart Starr’s house, 10 minute walk from Lambeau!
Pretty sure when Bart moved circa 1972-1975 somewhere close to that, he moved pretty close to Vince’s old neighborhood. It was in Allouez near the river. And yeah I want a cookie too!@@mattharper588
The main reason the conditions hurt the Cowboys is twofold. The first is because they weren't use to playing in it, but the bigger reason is because Landry's offensive scheme was based on finesse, speed and the big play, all of which was hampered by the icy field. Several years later, the Cowboys altered their approach by getting bigger running backs, such as Duane Thomas and Calvin Hill, who also had some foot speed. They also changed the play calling to focus on the ground game and ball control. The result was they started winning low-scoring games, like this one, and also were able to win under less than ideal conditions.
He also jumped early…just check the video. The officials let it go because they knew if they called a penalty on the Packers at that point they would have never gotten out of Green Bay alive.
@@theskicker8856another TH-cam idiot. Check your common sense out. Oops. No show. There is an NFL Films' piece whereby Kramer hims and haws when asked if he moved and flinched before the snap. His smile and uneasiness tells the truth. He should have caused the refs to move the Packers back five yards. Doubt they score from there. Get YOUR eyes and brain cells checked!
@barryallen5313 "Greatest block"? No. One of the worst non-calls in NFL History... YES! Kramer moved before the snap. Green Bay should have been moved back five yards. The officiating was even atrocious in the Sixties!
The only problem I have with the description of the play is that the center - I forgot his name - helped push Pugh backwards, and doesn't get the recognition for his efforts.

Yeah, you cancel the game. Some people would say well this is football! Play another day and you will get the best of both teams and a more enjoyable game. Don’t be a hero! Not to mention how dangerous this must have been for the fans and the players.
A lot of them had other jobs while they weren’t playing football because they weren’t being payed stupidly high amounts of cash so a couple of them probably were lol
I will always believe Lombardi unplugged the turf heater on purpose to negate the Cowboys speed. On a normal field, there was no way the Packers secondary could keep up with Bob Hayes and Lance Rentzel.
That’s stupid. There’s way more to do than simply pull a cord. Lombardi also wasn’t that kind of guy. If he did do it, they would’ve caught him. He also didn’t let his own players do anything more to stay warm other than put on coats and sit near space heaters. He wouldn’t rig a game, he’s not Bellicheck.
@@theskicker8856”caught him”? Don’t make me laugh. At that time, Lombardi could have committed murder in Green Bay and nobody would have done anything about it.
Not one Cowboys player interviewed. No video of the go ahead touchdown by Dallas. NO MENTION of Packers' Guard Jerry Kramer in motion slightly before the snap when Starr scored the touchdown. "Illegal Procedure" should have been called on Green Bay. Fourth and Goal from the Six yard line. I doubt the Packers score from there. More Packers propaganda. NFL Films' failed in this piece.
Kramer hands were above his head in the end zone. To close to call for Ilegal procedure. If you want the comments from the Dallas players about this game, there is a documentary on this game featuring the Cowboys. It's your decision to think that this Packers propaganda. Maybe the Cowboys need a new owner to make you feel better. GO PACK GO 💚
@@theskicker8856 not a cowboy fan. But nice try kid. And how do you know he wouldn't do that? You know him personally? He was probably worried as Dallas had a better team. Obviously he did it

And if ESPN were around back then, the game would have moved to an 830 pm night game and fifty fans would have died from Frostbite.
Good one! And true. And if this game were played tonight, several crazies in the stands would be shirtless.
@@johnperrigo6474There were a few shirtless fans in KC last Saturday.
Yeah and most people couldn't stay up to watch it because of work the next day, I hate when they do that.
Nope they'd just move the game

Jerry Kramer wouldn't be that happy again until he found out that he was a Hall of Fame member, 50 years after he retired.

Chuck Norris was there in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt

Read Jerry Kramer's book Instant Replay when I was 12, in 1969.

Wow, that's cool.
Cool story dude. Would you like a cookie?
I delivered the morning paper to Vince Lombardi when he lived on Sunset Circle just down the street from me and yes I would like a cookie

Nobody behind Starr pushing him in.
Tough players back then. No heaters on the sideline

True men and true champs
No hand warmers No dome No scuba suits

The NFL never postpones due to cold, it just rarely gets to -15 anywhere
Those were some odd looking face masks. Looked more like a stand full of thieves lol
Greatest block , greatest drive , greatest " team " in history .
Without question. Only team, pro or college, to three-peat since WW2. Mind, body, and spirit, this team was the greatest ever.

Yeah, but all that's because the Packers won and the Cowboys didn't.
Sure they skipped that and Donny Anderson's touchdown not being called a couple players earlier
Boohoo they weren’t so stingy then. You could move a little bit and not get called. Better football. Better refs. Pre 2000’s football.
So if the Pack didn't score on 3rd & goal the game was OVER because they had no timeouts. Coaching blunders throughout this overrated game.
Basically Packers definitely froze the field to slow down the fast pace cowboys . Cheated
