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 😂

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 .

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!"

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.

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.

9:56 my god the way his head hit the turf. 😮

I'm not a Packer fan. But what a video of true CHAMPIONS!!

What class these athletes had....such great men!

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!!!

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.

True men and true champs

That’s when games were played, and no bullshit involved

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.

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

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!

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.

Chuck Norris was there in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt

I and my twin brother were 11, my twin rooted for Dallas I for Greenbay. We were Vikings fans, but what a game.

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.

Jerry Kramers block is WITHOUT DOUBT the greatest block in NFL History.

Tough players back then. No heaters on the sideline

No hand warmers No dome No scuba suits

This was " THE DRIVE".

Nobody behind Starr pushing him in.

imagine Patrick Mahomes flopping around for penalties back then. they would've split his ass in two

Ray Scott Jack Buck Frank Gifford Pat summeral Tom brookshier on the call 😃👍😁🎯 for CBS - 5 Legends and Hall of famers ! " Frozen ❄️🌨️ 🥶 🥶🥶 coffee ☕☕☕ in the booth !

Noticed that Ben Wilson’s chin strap isn’t fastened at 3:28.

That was the coldest game I ever played in. 🥶

I cant believe how much older the players looked on the field during the game than what todays NFL looks like

❤

Why did these line men look like middle aged insurance salesmen ?

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.

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.

Those were some odd looking face masks. Looked more like a stand full of thieves lol

if this was today's NFL, they would of cancel the game.

Greatest block , greatest drive , greatest " team " in history .

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.

Basically Packers definitely froze the field to slow down the fast pace cowboys . Cheated

'Bowl" The third quarter rumor was that of the three guys who died in the stands two had the same last name. 🏈 Behind the 35 on the Dallas side twenty-eight rows up, at halftime my friend Schmidt and I jogged around then climbed up on top the concrete block piss and craphouse where a flatroof heating duct piped heat and dozens stood penguinwise Like around a campfire at night or at dusk like a suckerhole without a tipup to console by longthought of some coming perch. 🐟 About the end way down away In the south endzone shade at sunset, it seemed a fumble so we moaned then a ring of cheers beginning From the endzone ringing around like a kind of wave of relief 🌡 And frozen, all, refused to leave but remain, dazed, in history seems, then, izah frostbit sixteen. ~~~
