Birth of a Team and a Legend
On Thursday, Aug. 14, 1919, a score or more husky young athletes, called together by Curly Lambeau and George Calhoun, gathered in the dingy editorial room of the old Green Bay Press-Gazette building on Cherry Street and organized a football team. They didn't know it, but that was the beginning of the incredible saga of the Green Bay Packers.

The achievements of the Packers, while representing a town of just around 100,000 in competition with the country's largest markets, have endeared the Packers to the nation. The David vs. Goliath concept and the team's unique status as a publicly-owned corporation has intrigued generations.

The Packers' colorful saga spans 83 years from the "Iron Man" period of the first decade under founder Curly Lambeau, to the present day, which finds Mike Sherman presiding as the team's 13th head coach.
