  • Lambeau Field was built in Green Bay, Wisconsin in 1957.The Boston/New England Patriots have been playing profe sional football since 1959.Between them, the Patriots and Green Bay Packers have two of the richest heritages in the NFL with a combined 10 Super Bowls.But in one of the weirdest quirks in football, the two teams rarely play each other in one of America's most iconic settings. Sunday will mark only the fourth time for ."It's a fantastic atmosphere to be in," Eddie Jackson Jersey Patriots receiver Troy Brown said earlier this week. "I think every player should embrace being able to go back to one of the last standing stadiums of the the old days. Everything there pretty much still Chicago Bears Golf Sporting Goods looks the same as it did years and years ago. We don't get through there very often, being in different divisions and everything. But when you have an opportunity to play there you should take the moment in ... without being intimidated."Boston has Fenway; Green Bay Lambeau.So unique is the matchup that in the Patriots' 63-year history they have won a game at Lambeau exactly one time. For stadiums and/or franchises that have been around more than a minute, it's the toughest place for New England to win in its franchise's history.On Nov. 19, 2006, the Patriots were so good in a 35-0 rout over Green Bay that they whipped both Brett Farve Aaron Rodgers. Tom Brady threw four touchdown pa ses (toDaniel Graham, Reche Caldwell, Ben Watson and Laurence Maroney) and the defense allowed only five first downs while sacking the Favre and Rodgers a combined five times.Scroll to ContinueBut that's it ... the extend of New England's succe s in Roquan Smith Jersey Green Bay.Obviously the teams didn't play until the Patriots joined the NFL in the merger of 1970. Still, only three meetings at Lambeau over 52 seasons is astounding. The only teams the Pats have played fewer are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (who entered the league in 1976) and Jacksonville Jaguars and Carolina Panthers (both 1995).New England struggled in old, cla sic venues such as Texas Stadium (Dallas Cowboys) and Candlestick Park (San Francisco 49ers), going 1-4 in each place. Its minimal trips to Wisconsin have also been mostly forgettable.In 1979 the Patriots lost at Lambeau, 27-14, behind six turnovers and three interceptions by quarterback Steve Grogan. Richard Dent Jersey In the most recent visit in 2014, they fell behind 13-0 in the first quarter and lost, 26-21, by allowing 368 pa sing yards by Rodgers.While the NFL's second-oldest stadium behind Soldier Field has been inhospitable to the Pats, we're not even counting their other trip to Rodney Adams Jersey Wisconsin - a 45-3 lo s to the Packers in 1988 at Milwaukee County Stadium that remains the second-biggest lo s in team history. (For what it's worth, they are 6-3 at the league's oldest joint, Chicago's Soldier Field.)On the first Sunday in October, weather shouldn't be a problem for the Patriots. But playing at hallowed Lambeau with squad may continue their Midwest misery.
