The Packers stunk back then. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_Ronzani" target="_blank">Gene Ronzani</a> was coach. QB was a guy named <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobin_Rote" target="_blank">Tobin Rote</a>. My grandpa would listen to the game (no TV back then), and there'd come a point where he'd snap off the radio, in disgust. As kids, we had no trouble sneaking into the games; security would mostly look the other way.Went on active Navy duty in 1957 (graduated high school in June). First time I saw the Pack play at what's now known as Lambeau Field was on TV, on board ship in the San Diego Harbor. Having played in the West High Band, I remember marching on the Sacred Turf during halftime of the annual East-West game. But that would have been in November, 1956--a year before Lambeau is said to have officially opened. Admittedly, my memory isn't what it used to be (never was). So does anyone know--for sure--what year the first East-West game was played at Lambeau?</blockquote>
