  • Collecting Lombardi's Dominating Packers
    Collecting Lombardi’s Dominating Packers BY DAVID LEE ince Lombardi called Lambeau Field his “pride and joy.” Specifically, the ground itself—the grass and the dirt. V He loved that field because it was his. He controlled everything that happened there. It was the home where Lombardi built one of the greatest sports dynasties of all-time. Fittingly, Lambeau Field was the setting for the 1967 NFL Champion- ship, famously dubbed “The Ice Bowl” before the game even started. Tem- peratures plummeting to 12 degrees below zero blasted Lombardi’s field. Despite his best efforts using an elaborate underground heating system to keep it from freezing, the field provided the perfect rock-hard setting to cap Green Bay’s decade of dominance—a franchise that bullied the NFL for nine seasons. The messy game came down to a goal line play of inches with 16 seconds left, the Packers trailing the Cowboys 17-14. Running backs were slipping on the ice, and time was running out. So, quarterback Bart Starr called his last timeout, and ran to the sideline to tell Lombardi he wanted to run it in himself. It was a risky all-in gamble on third down. “Well then run it, and let’s get the hell out of here,” Starr said Lom- bardi told him. The famous lunge into the endzone gave the Packers their third-straight NFL title (their fifth in the decade) and a second-straight trip to the Super Bowl to face the AFL’s best. It was the end of Lombardi’s historic run as Green Bay’s coach.

  • What the Packers Do to Keep Lambeau Field Special
    What The Packers Do To Keep Lambeau Field Special Source: www.TurfMagazine.com Look, but don’t touch the grass! You’ll not see a more attractive sward of Kentucky bluegrass anywhere. That it remains as lovely, green and weed-free even through the first months of winter in frigid Wisconsin is incredible. Even more remarkable, it gets an incredible amount of punishment. I’m referring to the playing field at Lambeau Stadium in Green Bay, of course. Whether you maintain grass in a busy park, on a college campus or on sports fields, you can appreciate the maxim – “Grass Grows by the Inch, But Dies by the Foot.” In this case, by the feet of 300-pound football players. “Don’t touch that grass,” Grant, our tour guide and a life-long season ticket holder, warned sternly as we came out of the tunnel from the Packers locker room. “If everybody who came here took a bit of the field we wouldn’t have any field left by the end of the season.” A small group of us green industry journalists got to check out the field thanks to Grant, our drill-sergeant gruff but also entertaining guide, and the generosity of The Ariens Company, headquartered in nearby Brillion, Wisconsin. There are a lot of things you can do at Lambeau Field — dine in a high-end restaurant, book parties and corporate events, visit the Green Bay Packers Museum, the Packers Pro Shop or do a Field Tour as we did. But, in the end, the thousands of people that come to historic Lambeau Field want to see its beautiful playing field.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.
