On New Year's Eve 1967, the temperature in Green Bay, Wisconsin plunged to -13 ° F with a wind chill near -50. What unfolded at Lambeau Field was not just a football game-it was an ordeal of grit, frostbite, and historic significance. The Ice Bowl: Football's Coldest Battle is the definitive, play-by-play narrative of the 1967 NFL Championship, a game that crowned Vince Lombardi's Packers, broke the hearts of the Dallas Cowboys, and permanently changed the trajectory of professional football.
This book brings to life every detail of that arctic showdown: the silent agony of numb fingers, the clank of helmets hardened by cold, and the final, legendary quarterback sneak that echoed across generations. Through vivid storytelling and extensive research-including play logs, weather data, and interviews-this work reveals how one sub-zero afternoon reshaped strategy, inspired equipment innovations, and embedded itself into the mythology of the sport. From sideline heaters to Steve Sabol's poetic reels, from frostbitten legends to Lambeau's cultural legacy, The Ice Bowl is a gripping account of the NFL's most enduring epic.
