On September 20, 1987, the Green Bay Packers begged the Milwaukee Brewers to play a game against the Denver Broncos in Milwaukee at Milwaukee County Stadium. The game was such a disaster and destroyed the field so much that it not only impacted the remainder of the Brewers' season, but completely changed how the Packers scheduled games in Milwaukee forever. This is the story behind the crazy drama between the 1987 Green Bay Packers and the 1987 Milwaukee Brewers

They DON'T call off NFL games for rain, so by the time the game was over the field, the diamond, the outfield was destroyed by cleats, tackles, rain, and destruction. By Sunday night it was a free for all to fix the field for baseball possibly the next night.

Bristol Motor Speedway (then named Bristol International Raceway) hosted an NFL preseason game in 1961 between the Eagles and the team now known as the Commanders. The Milwaukee Mile setup for the Packers was rather interesting. The football field was located over where the pit lane and part of the garage/paddock area are located now, so a football game at the Milwaukee Mile nowadays would not be physically possible without a ton of deconstruction and construction. In 1939, the Milwaukee Mile was a dirt oval that lacked a physically-separated pit lane (not the asphalt oval with a pit lane separated from the oval by a concrete wall like today), and the football field was located inside the dirt oval in front of the main grandstand.

I think the Packers were legally required to always play the Bears game at Lambeau in the regular season because they annually played a preseason game against the Bears at County Stadium well into the mid ‘70s (and again for a one-off in 1984). I believe it may have been a result of the fact that Milwaukee is closer in proximity to Chicago than it is to Green Bay and they may have been worried during the earlier years of the rivalry that Bear fans might’ve outnumbered Packer fans at a Packer home game.

The legal part I can't speak to, but yes, the Midwest Shrine Game was an annual preseason game between the Packers & Bears that was traditionally held at County Stadium. It was a joint effort between the Packers & Bears to raise money for Shriners' hospitals. So yes, because the Packers & Bears generally got that preseason game in Milwaukee, it made sense to play the regular season game in Green Bay, since the Milwaukee crowd had already seen the Bears. It stopped being in Milwaukee due to an incident worthy of a video itself: Forrest Gregg and Mike Ditka, who had long hated each other, had to be held back from fighting each other in the final Shriners game in Milwaukee, in part due to the fact both teams were on the same sideline at County Stadium.

Fun fact: Before they shared the Packers for a few games per season. Milwaukee actually had their own NFL team once, the Milwaukee Badgers from 1922-1926 The 1925 Milwaukee Badgers might’ve been the worst statistical team in all of NFL history scoring just 7 points on offense and allowing 191 on defense. Eventually they had to cut their season short through 6 games when they were unable to field a team. And were involved in one of the biggest scandals in football history when in their 59-0 loss to the Chicago Cardinals they fielded a team that consisted 4 high schoolers playing under fake names.

So a player on the Cardinals went to a local Chicago high school to convince those 4 guys to go to Milwaukee and sign with the Badgers under fake names so they’d enough players on their roster and could play the game.

The Green Bay Packers started playing games in Milwaukee starting in 1933 only because the original City Stadium had (at that time) limited seating and it was for revenue purposes. The Packers usually had three or four home games in that city. The Packers homes in Milwaukee were State Fair Park (1933-49), Borchert Field (1950-51), Marquette Stadium (1952) and County Stadium (1953-94). During the Pack's tenure in County Stadium, the benches were on the same side. The players could only get to the locker rooms between the first-base and third base dugouts. In 1995, because the Packers felt they did not want give away money by playing in Milwaukee, the team played all their games at Lambeau Field fulltime. (The Packers still have territorial rights to Milwaukee.)

Despite not playing in Milwaukee anymore, the Packers still have a presence there. Due to the Green Bay/Appleton DMA/TV market's small size, the Packers' radio and preseason TV flagships are based in Milwaukee to this day instead of in their own DMA. Milwaukee is one of the Packers' official primary DMAs, so any pay-TV game involving them has to air on an over-the-air (OTA) station in Milwaukee as well as one in Green Bay.

There are a few things I think can be added to the commentary about this. Another key component of this for the Brewers, who only reached the postseason at County Stadium in 1981 and '82, is those games against the Yankees were still key to the 1987 AL East race. The game that had to be postponed was game 150 of 162 for the Brewers, and they went into that day tied for third in the East with the Yankees at 82-67, 8½ games back of the Blue Jays and eight games back of the team that would win the division, the Tigers. They also had a series looming against the Jays in Toronto the following week. While the odds were slim of either team catching the Jays, the 1987 season had been a charmed one for the Brewers to that point. They opened the season with 13-straight wins, including the only no-hitter in the first 50 years of the franchise and a dramatic walk-off win on Easter Sunday. Then, Paul Molitor put together a 39-game hit streak that captured the city's attention after coming off the disabled list midseason. The Brewers, by that point known as "Team Streak," had every reason to think they could start a dramatic, season-ending run with that final homestand. Instead, many of the same MIlwaukeeans that would have gone to those games were still drying out their stuff from watching the Packers' quagmire and weren't in the mood to go see sloppy baseball on a sloppy field. While the Brewers did win nine of their last 13 and swept the Jays in Toronto, the unexpected day off and a split in the resulting doubleheader against the Yankees stole a lot of the Brewers' momentum, while the Tigers got hot, too, to end the Brewers' chances. Back on the topic of the stadium, though, the sloppy field may have partly been due to something that happened the year before: On Aug. 7, 1986, massive rains hit Milwaukee and flooded much of the city, with the most dramatic pictures being from County Stadium, where four feet of water on the playing surface turned the ballpark into a bathtub. Players long talked of dips and ruts in the outfield caused by the flood until they resurfaced the field in the mid-90s, only to have it flood again in 1997. In 1987, though, that uneven field surely held in a lot of water in spots for the Packers/Broncos' game. Furthermore, it's important to remember the Packers did not carry the same kind of cachet in the late 80's that they do now. They were 20 years removed from Super Bowl glory and the laughing stock of the league for most of that time. They were en route to a 5-9-1 record in 1987. As a kid that grew up in Milwaukee, trust me on this: When the Packers played in town, we often had to listen to the games on the radio -- partly because my parents were too cheap to go to games (shakes tiny fist), but also because the games wouldn't sell out, resulting in a TV blackout of the game in the Milwaukee market. Nowadays, the idea of a Packers game not being a sellout seems absurd, but it routinely failed to happen in Milwaukee until the Packers started bouncing back after the Cardiac Pack year of 1989 and the onset of the Favre era in 1992. The name of the stadium was not a misnomer; at the time, it was run by Milwaukee County government. Surely they made the move to play the Packers' game in part to simply make money, especially knowing the pending strike (which started the next week) could take away the revenue from a Packer game or two. They also scheduled a Pink Floyd concert on Sept. 30 of that year, which also supposedly did a number on the field. Had the Brewers pulled off the miracle and got to the postseason, County Stadium would have been through a lot. A lot of Milwaukeeans weren't happy with the Packers muscling their way into County Stadium to play that game, especially since the Brewers moreso held the hearts & minds of Milwaukeeans at that time than the Packers. It was truly the beginning of the feeling that maybe the Packers were better served to just play all their games in Green Bay, especially as the Packers continued to make improvements to Lambeau. For instance, while County Stadium was saddled with its black-and-amber "Smear-O-Vision" scoreboard for the final 21 years of its existence, Lambeau predated Milwaukee's outdoor stadia in having a color videoboard by over a decade. Plus, once County Stadium eschewed a temporary seating structure in left field in favor of selling seats in the permanent stands down the left field line and the permanent bleachers, the seating angles at County Stadium got really bad for about 40 percent of the fans there, whereas there's hardly a bad seat at Lambeau. Of course, Milwaukee somewhat fell back in love with the Packers as Holmgren brought them back to glory, just in time for the fond farewell of Favre's dive in the final game at the stadium. Most Milwaukeeans are still proud of the city's role in allowing the Packers to remain in Wisconsin, even those who aren't Gold Package holders - and for those who aren't aware, the Gold Package draws a direct lineage to those who held tickets to the Milwaukee games. But yeah, I remember this game at age five. It was my first exposure to the idea a football game could end in a tie. And, having grown up in a sports-loving family where baseball generally came first, I remember no one in the family was particularly happy the game messed up County Stadium like it did.

How were were supposed to uphold that passion for a Packers team whose season was always all but over by mid-october?

I went to a few Packer games at County Stadium including the final one in ‘94 against Atlanta. It was a bizarre setup with the field running at a diagonal along the third baseline, the end zones spilling out onto the warning tracks, and both teams benches on the same side of the field. It’s also worth noting that part of the reason Lambeau Field exists was because of County Stadium. The NFL basically threatened the Packers with relocation to Milwaukee if they did not build a new facility in Green Bay and thus Lambeau came into being.

Nice work. Two baseball-football conflicts in 1987. I didn't realize that until I saw your videos on St. Louis and Milwaukee. One baseball-football stadium situation that won't make your videos because the football game involved was a college game, even though the stadium was also the home of an NFL team, came in 1980. The Astrodome was the home of the MLB Astros, the NFL Oilers, and the University of Houston Cougars. On October 11-12, 1980 (Saturday and Sunday), the Astrodome hosted games 4 and 5 of the National League Championship Series between the Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies. In between the two postseason baseball games -- yes, I said IN BETWEEN -- a Southwest Conference football game between Texas A&M and Houston was played at the same Astrodome. The college football game was scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. Then on Monday, October 6, the Astros defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-1, in a tiebreaker game in Los Angeles to claim their first ever division championship and postseason berth. The two league championship series were best of five, and the sites of the games were determined solely by what year it was. With 1980 as an even-number year, the first two games would be played at the home of the East Division champions, in Philadelphia, on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 7 and 8. The Phillies won the first game, 3-1; the Astros won the second game, 7-4 in 10 innings. That meant there would be a game 4 in Houston on Saturday, October 11. On Friday, October 10, the Astros beat the Phillies, 1-0 in 11 innings, in game 3. Game 4 began at about 1 p.m. on Saturday. The Phillies won, 5-3 in 12 innings. It normally took eight hours for work crews to transform the Astrodome from baseball to football configuration and vice-versa. They rushed it up in about 6 hours and change. The Aggies and Cougars kicked off after 11 p.m. The Cougars won 17-7 to make both teams 2-3 on the season. Then the crews worked through the night to put the Astrodome back into baseball configuration by noon. Since it was a Sunday, ABC didn't want to battle CBS and NBC, who had the NFL games, for ratings, so game 5 had already been scheduled as a night game. And, had it not been mentioned (only once during the telecast), fans around the country would not have been wise to the fact that a college football game had been played in the same venue between games 4 and 5 of the 1980 NLCS. The Phillies won game 5, 8-7 in 10 innings. Fortunately, the Oilers were in Kansas City that day, and lost 21-20 to the Chiefs. It was not unusual during the Astrodome years for there to be a UH Cougars game on Saturday and an Oilers game on Sunday; they only needed to switch out the goal posts, and the differing hashmarks were both painted on the Astroturf. In fact, my first football experience at the Astrodome was such a college-pro turnaround in October 1969. We saw the Cougars upset Archie Manning and the Ole Miss Rebels 25-11 on Saturday night and the Oilers defeat the Denver Broncos 24-21 in an AFL game on Sunday afternoon.

I am a fan of both teams. 1987 was a very interesting time (although I wasn't born yet). Between the three major teams, the Bucks had the most success, as they nearly made the NBA Finals on several occasions (damn Celtics and 76ers). The Brewers had Robin Yount and Paul Molitor and lost in the 1982 World Series and the Packers were by far the most dreadful, but had the biggest fanbase. Despite having the better organization by far, the Brewers had to give in. This video reminded me a lot about the stadium conditions. Lambeau Field until 2003 and Milwaukee County Stadium for the rest of its existence were absolute dumps and the Bucks were playing at the outdated and small MECCA downtown. If you want to do another video on Milwaukee, I highly recommend the battle for the Bradley Center which opened the following year. There were plans to place it right next to Milwaukee County Stadium, but the city was fighting for a downtown location next to the MECCA, which is ultimately where it went.

I can tell you for a ^fact* that while the Packers have sold out every game since the 1960s, maybe even the 50s, many of those in Southeastern Wisconsin grew complacent over the team's consistent mediocrity under Bart Starr and Forrest Gregg, that they *did NOT sell out* a few Milwaukee home games around the mid 1980s, and thus these non-sellout games were BLACKED OUT and not seen on Channel 6 (the then=CBS affiliate). There I believe were also preseason games that had trouble selling tickets to Packer games at County Stadium. Packer fans had started growing apathetic. There does not seem to be any correlation towards the quality of the opponent and whether they'd sell more tickets in Milwaukee over Green Bay. It used to be the Packers would play all their home games in the first half of the season, then on the road in the second half. Wisconsin isn't exactly this remote, desolate place anymore. Bud Selig was also a Packer shareholder, so there's nothing to the notion that the Packers and Brewers were at odds. Selig once famously complained that a new state prison and a new Bucks NBA arena built next to County Stadium would hurt Brewers ticket sales, but he never ever said an unkind word about the Packers.

@@LogoAttitude I believe you are incorrect on that last sentence. The NFL had something like a 70-mile radius rule. That meant Mankato's TV station couldn't show Viking home games on CBS that didn't sell out. Understand, that Madison is only 75 miles from Milwaukee, and your claim would imply that Packer games were blacked out in Madison, and I don't think that's the case. If the Green Bay market was blacked out because of Milwaukee non-sellouts, it would be a cause celebre and initiate drastic action from Packer fans statewide to make sure they didn't happen.

Back in 1974, the Steelers played a road game in Kansas City. NBC did not broadcast the game, probably due to the 2PM Eastern start time. KDKA TV, then as now the CBS affiliate in Pittsburgh, televised the game in the Pittsburgh market. In 1975, the Broncos played the Steelers in Pittsburgh and if memory serves, there was NO TV at all. I'm certain CBS and NBC hated those 2PM Eastern starts. As pointed out elsewhere, there was a Maryland blue law that forbid any Sunday game to begin before 2PM. I remember the Steelers playoff win in Baltimore in late 1976. After the game, some crackpot tried to land his plane on the field and crashed into the upper deck stands.

It would be particularly interesting to find out how the Brewers fared during the doubleheader that resulted from the disaster on the field as they fell short of making that wild card during those last 10 days of that season.

Nfl needs to return to 100% natural grass for outdoor stadiums. Fields get muddy? Oh, well. That's a part of the game. More exciting fumbles/turnovers. Tds aren't the only exciting thing in a game. Interceptions are too. Field gets worse as the season progresses? Oh, well. It's called deal with it. It might be a part of home field advantage? Not unlike a dome for those teams.

Maybe if they just made it so baseball and football never occurred at the same time (i.e. have baseball season start after the Super Bowl, and end before the NFL pre-season games)? This would have also mitigated the problems between the St. Louis Cardinals (NFL) and the St. Louis Cardinals (MLB). Which was actually the subject of a video on this YT channel. 🤔

Baseball season has enough early-season weather delays as it is with the season starting in late-March or early-April. Only places that don't really have issues are the domed teams and 5 California teams. If you're starting right after the Super Bowl, the California teams are going to run into weather issues, too. The solution is more or less solved now in that there are no more shared stadiums. Every now and again, you'll have an issue like Baltimore in 2013, when the proximity of the MLB and NFL stadiums kept the Ravens from opening the season in the Thursday night game. But other than that, it's fine.

@Martin Caidin The astroturf was used as a rug for the football players to stand on when on the sidelines, but they didn't stand in that area. Thus while on the sidelines they were tearing up the grass where they did stand.

Packers probably never played the bears in Milwaukee because Milwaukee is closer to Chicago (a little less than 90 miles ) than Green Bay (more than 110 miles) making it easier for Bears fans to outdo packers fans. This is still a problem for Milwaukee based sports teams till this day. Whenever the Bulls, Cubs or W.Sox are in town, the stadium is usually filled with more Chicago fans than Milwaukee ones.

That was true in the early Miller Park days, and in years when the Bucks are bad. But otherwise that's just propaganda that Cubs fans believe. I've been to plenty of games at Wrigley that had just as much of a presence of Brewers fans.
