Where is Lambeau Field?
Originally known as the Milwaukee County Stadium, the Green Bay Packers opened their football operations at the venue in 1957. The stadium was a part of the Milwaukee County Sports Complex. It was named after the team’s long-time coach and founder Curly Lambeau, who passed away in 1966.
The Famous Ice Bowl Game
The 1967 Ice Bowl of the National Football League was played on January 1, 1967, in Green Bay, Wisconsin between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers. It was a matchup of the two last undefeated teams, and it was the first time the game had been played at Lambeau Field.
The game was actually played without a whistle because the wind was so cold that the official couldn’t get air into the whistle to blow it. The Packers won the game by seven points after Bart Starr put the game-winning drive together.

Famous Packers
The Packers have been one of the NFL’s most successful teams over the last two decades. The team has made seven Super Bowl appearances and won three. The team has nine league championships and seven conference championships over that time period.

Since Aaron Rodgers has become the starting QB the Packers have gone to a 13-5 record including a NFC Championship Game appearance, 3 playoff wins, and 2 Super Bowl victories.
Ronde Barber is a free safety and return specialist. He holds the record for the longest interception return in NFL history, a 78 yarder against the Pittsburgh Steelers on November 19, 2009.
Conclusion
 Some of the most memorable games where Green Bay fans were unable to enjoy a game because the elements were just terrible. The game against the Lions in 2003 was one of these games, with the Lions winning 15-12 after being the only team to defeat the Packers in Lambeau Field. An even warmer one was the 1994 Monday Night Football game. Green Bay had a chance to win the NFC North, but was unable to do so. The teams were tied 14-14 when Packers Quarterback Brett Farve threw the game-winning touchdown to Donald Driver.
