It was one of the coldest games ever played at Lambeau, but it didn't keep the people from coming.
Packer fans arrived at the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field to face the cold that made the nickname famous.
For one fan, that meant reliving history.
"These area actually my wife's grandfather's tickets," said the man. "He was at the Ice Bowl. We came to make our own memory."
The Ice Bowl got down to 13 below zero with temperatures of 48 below. Sunday's kickoff temperature was 1 below with wind chills of 23 below, making it the second coldest home game in Packers' history.
Despite doctor's warnings from earlier in the week that frostbite could occur on any exposed skin within one minute, some of the 72,000-plus in the stands chose to wear their birthday suits on top in the -4 conditions at the end of the game.
Others had signs that saluted a certain blonde singer that may have helped the Packers get a home game for the NFC Championship.
The signs Jessica Simpson's trip to Mexico with Cowboys' QB Tony Romo, who took some blame for that team's loss to the New York Giants in the divisional playoffs.
Not that it helped Green Bay much with the final result in the conference finals.
