It was on this date 68 years ago—September 29, 1957—that the Green Bay Packers played their first game in Green Bay’s City Stadium. What’s City Stadium, you ask? The stadium that would eventually be named Lambeau Field, of course.

You’ll learn all about that first game in the first episode of our new 1-Minute History video series, written and directed by Mitch DeSantis. Football! The Bears! Richard Nixon and Miss America? Take it away, Mitch!
