I was inspired to read this by the weather conditions as the Packers host the 49ers in an NFC Wildcard game. It’s not quite as cold in 2014 as it was back in 1967, but it still very cold to be playing football outdoors!

I was 10 years old in 1967 and remember the Ice Bowl vividly. I like this book a lot: it’s not overly long, it discusses the 1967 season in some detail to provide context, and best of all, it has diagrams of some of the key plays during the game to go along with the narrative. I’ve found a couple of minor inaccuracies with some of the background information, but it’s still a great read.
