New Rendering of Lambeau's New Seat Expansion

They are really going for a throwback feel.

You know, I kinda like that our uni's haven't changed much since then.

I want us to play in navy blue and gold. That's just me, though.

No idea. This was from a series of photo slideshows that the GBPG is doing and was the third batch I looked at after the 1965 and 66 team photo shoots. I was amazed this was a home game at Lambeau, given how low the seating is in that endzone.

Rams game slideshow is here: http://packersnews.greenbaypressgaze...0120806&Ref=PH

i think the seating was really low in both endzone, and higher a long the sidelines. it wasn't a real "inclosed" bowl until later on

heres a picture showing the low ends

OK, but where is that building looming through the goalposts then? Because in the B&W shot, its all parking lot.

you first picture must have been taken in the late 60's or early 70's

heres the picture of the sneak during the icebowl. the sneak happened in the south endzone, so we are looking north.

notice the same center row and the telephone pole in behind the stands on the right, also the set of stands sticking out on the top right with the flagpole. but there's no office building. so the building must have been added sometime after 67

OK. Your first picture shows the building at the bottom of the picture. I then assume the Ice Bowl shot is either showing us the opposite end OR we are too close to field level to see the building behind the stands and through the crowds/clouds/static.

The Rams game is from 1966 according to GBPG.

i don't think that building in the first picture is the same as the building in the overhead picture

the building in the overhead pic looks to be the same height as the buses parked next to it. your picture clearly shows a taller building

Shadow of building looks like it might be a smidge taller, but hard to say. More troubling is the big scoreboard/aux press box between it and the seats. That could have come after the Rams game I suppose.

Ooh. A mystery!

The problem you guys are running into is that most of the Ice Bowl photos have been doctored over the years. There were clouds of steam coming from every player's and fan's mouth and even rising off the players themselves. Most of the published photos available now have been enhanced to remove all of those lighter areas, which must have obscured the building in Red's photo. Here is another from the same play in the Ice Bowl, clearly showing the building in the background:

I'm wondering if that first photo supplied by Patler isn't old City Stadium near GB East High School?
