1967 NFL Championship Game "The Ice Bowl" Program

Meeting and defeating the Oakland Raiders in the AFL-NFL Championship Game was a mere formality for the mighty Packers of the '67 season. The real championship contest was played on December 31, 1967 to determine the ultimate victors of the National Football League. This game, pitting the hometown Packers against the very able Dallas Cowboys, will forever be remembered as the "Ice Bowl." Conditions were so painful that at least one catalog writer cares not to report the recorded temperatures and wind chills. This was brutal stuff, and we surmise that many of the programs sold at that game were soon ignited for warmth, thereby reducing their availability to collectors today (...just a theory). Fans that day who endured the elements, however, were treated to an exciting game with a storybook conclusion. As the final snap of the game was nigh, Green Bay was in arrears by three points. But, against the Dallas goal line, the Packers threatened with 3rd down and inches to paydirt, while only a few precious seconds remained on the clock. The intrepid Bart Starr followed his blockers for the game-winning TD in a 21-17 thriller. Meanwhile, there's the matter of this program from that unspeakably oppressive event. We advance this keepsake as VG/EX, principally as a function of mild wear at all corners, The cover is acceptably clean and fresh, and there are no folding creases. The pages remain firmly affixed to a tight binding. Brrrrr.
