I was one years old then and still a Packer fan !!! I grew up with that kind of cold (cold really doesn’t bother kids) and usually snow on or right after Halloween. Sledding by Thanksgiving. No spring until end of May. Jumped off our roof into snow as fun ! Had to shovel the roof also- not fun !!! Over 30 years of my life like that. And we will NEVER see it again. That’s why I’m so thankful for people like you sharing these videos of the day !!!! Much appreciated!!! ❤ ❄️ ⛄️ 🥶

I was 10 , my Dad had 4 tickets , so took me and my two older brothers . I did NOT want to go , but he said it’ll be over in 3 hours and they’d let me stay up to ring in the New Year . Growing up in Wisconsin , you knew how to dress for the elements , so I don’t really remember being cold . We were sitting on about the 20 yard line near the end zone that Starr had his sneak , so we had a great view . Though I initially didn’t want to go , I am so glad my Dad coerced me into attending . My brothers and I still talk about that day and how fortunate we were to attend that game , AND to be Packer fans .

The main reason the conditions hurt the Cowboys is twofold. The first is because they weren't use to playing in it, but the bigger reason is because Landry's offensive scheme was based on finesse, speed and the big play, all of which was hampered by the icy field. Several years later, the Cowboys altered their approach by getting bigger running backs, such as Duane Thomas and Calvin Hill, who also had some foot speed. They also changed the play calling to focus on the ground game and ball control. The result was they started winning low-scoring games, like this one, and also were able to win under less than ideal conditions.

Some cool facts about the Icebowl: It is the coldest air temperature pro football game to have ever been played! One of the broadcasters said “well folks, I’m going to take a bite out of my coffee”. While the Cowboys players were bundled up in all sorts of Winter gear, Lombardi let the Packers were only coats, as he thought the Cowboys were trying to psych out the Packers. Packers and Cowboys fans brought in flasks of whiskey to keep themselves warm! The referees made the poor decision of not buying plastic whistles before the game, and one ref had his whistle get stuck to his lips, and when he ripped it off, skin came off and the blood dried the instant he ripped the whistle off his lips, then then just used hand signals. There were some cool facts about the Ice Bowl!!!
