Green Bay Packer's History - Lambeau Field

The nickname of 'Frozen Tundra' was first coined during the infamous NFL Championship game in 1967 between the Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. In his narration Bill Woodson used the phrase 'frozen tundra' during the NFL Championship game in 1967 which also became known as the 'Ice Bowl'. The famous game was played in temperatures as low as -13F along with high winds. Many games played at Lambeau Field are cold and miserable but this game 'The Ice Bowl' was particularly brutal. The Ice Bowl is still a favorite topic of conversation among Green Bay Packer's fans.

No article about Lambeau Field would be complete without a mention of the 'Lambeau Leap'! LeRoy Butler was the first to do the Lambeau Leap into the arms of adoring fans after he scored a touchdown during a game in 1993. Robert Brooks, another fan favorite became known for his Lambeau Leaps as well. Many other teams have tried to imitate the Lambeau Leap and some have even attempted a 'leap' of their own in Lambeau Field itself! Faithful fans were disturbed by this and was the topic of discussion for many talk radio and news/sports shows in the week before and after the incident with Cincinnati Bengals player Chad Ochocino. To be fair, Ochocino did ask the fans before the game what their reaction may be should he also do a Lambeau leap. With mixed reviews he did do the 'leap' into the arms of Bengal fans. Naturally it was the talk around water coolers Monday morning and on the news and talk radio!

The 'cheesehead' fan was kind enough to donate the cheesehead to a local museum.
