The 1982 Green Bay Packers’ season was cut short by a player’s strike, which provided for a major quirk in the Packers schedule. At that time, the Packers typically played a few home games in Milwaukee’s County Stadium. Because of that co-habitation with the Brewers in Milwaukee, and the shortened season, in 1982 the Packers played just one game at their true home, against the Detroit Lions.
That was the last time I was at Lambeau Field.
34 years ago, as a ten year old, I sat in the December cold as the Packers lost to the Lions and I’m pretty sure I cried.
