About this product

Product Information

The day of the Ice Bowl game was so cold, the referees' whistles wouldn't work; so cold, the reporters' coffee froze in the press booth; so cold, fans built small fires in the concrete and metal stands; so cold, TV cables froze and photographers didn't dare touch the metal of their equipment; so cold, the game was as much about survival as it was about skill and strategy. On New Year's Eve, 1967, the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers met for a classic NFL championship game, played on a frozen field in sub-zero weather. The "Ice Bowl" challenged every skill of these two great teams. Here's the whole story, based on dozens of interviews with people who were there--on the field and off--told by author Ed Gruver with passion, suspense, wit, and accuracy.

  • Great book to read on a plane trip....

    I grew up with Cowboys in Dallas and remember this game well. I had to listen on the radio until the end because I was at work at a grocery bagger. This is a great review, but I really thought the games highlights video on VHS of each play was better as well as the NFL films version. I have often thought if Landry had won the game as Coach of the Cowboys if there had been a Landry trophy instead of Lombardi. Anyway, for a cheap price or a gift it isn't bad, but I think the video is better. It is however a great book to read on a plane trip like I did!

  • Great Read about a Great Game.

    Love the fact that the important plays in the game are diagramed.
