The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame this week received a unique donation of a section of the goal post from the ‘Ice Bowl,’ the 1967 NFL Championship game between the Packers and the Dallas Cowboys.
The five foot-long section of goal post was donated by Stew Mills and the Mills family, who had received it from the James and Barbara Smith family. Both families attended the Ice Bowl, and following the victory that was sealed with Bart Starr’s quarterback sneak, the Smiths found themselves on the playing field taking down the goal post with a group of several strangers, all of whom wished to lay claim to the post’s lower section.
