I heard yesterday about both teams using the same sideline. That is odd to me. Why did they play games in Milwaukee anyway?

 

That's what I'm curious about. Anyone here have any insight?

Best part is “Conlan had a concussion in the first half. Must’ve knocked some sense into him” how times have changed.

For decades, the Packers had a deal with Milwaukee to play ~ 3 of their home games there, since they were more of a "regional" team and also to share revenue with them. 

 

I'm sure the interwebs has more details, but that's the gist of it.  I believe the ended the arrangement in the early-mid 90's

 

Pull up the game footage from the 1991 contest and you'll get a sense of how weird it looked

Thanks for bringing this up. I asked this earlier in the thread because I was curious myself

haha for sure.  I remember watching the footage of the AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs in… ‘94 I think (?) and the color commentator was basically laughing at Joe Montana getting a concussion.
