There was a time when the National Football League played a standard 6 game preseason schedule. In those days there weren't OTAs and the like, though, so the clubs needed a longer preseason to get ready for the regular.
This is a rare full game, actual broadcast of a preseason game between the Packers and Bears at old Milwaukee County Stadium in 1969. This was the season following the fall of the Packers' dynasty of the '60's and the theme was "The Pack Will Be Back."
Many of the great Hall of Fame veterans and all-pros of the Lombardi years were still playing: Bart Starr, Donny Anderson, Boyd Dowler, Carroll Dale, Gale Gillingham, Forrest Gregg, Willie Davis, Ray Nitschke, Herb Adderley, Willie Wood; to name a few.
These were also the Bears of Gale Sayers and **** Butkus.
Calling the game was the great Ray Scott, "the voice of the Green Bay Packers."
