Item Description
2.75" long oval shaped button. No maker but w/union mark at bottom center edge. Has football design and printed over top of this is the text and overhead image of Lambeau Field. Text reads "I'm A Packer Backer/Stadium Dedication Sept. 29-57." Glossy and Exc. Classic item for the Packer fan.
After the transition was made from Old City Stadium to New City Stadium, present day Lambeau Field, the new stadium opened in 1957 became the official home of the Green Bay Packers. The Packers had struggled for some time to secure a stable home field for the team and the 1957 dedication of the stadium was nothing short of extravagant, encompassing parades, fireworks, a farewell ceremony at Old City Stadium, a dedication game against the Chicago Bears and a 'Venetian Nights' celebration with boats on the Fox River that lasted from Sept. 28 to Sept. 29, 1957. All dedication activities were funded through the sale of these Packer Backer buttons for $1 each.
