Description

On Saturday, Sept. 3, at 2:30 p.m. the Wisconsin Badgers faced the Louisiana State University Tigers in the Carmex Lambeau Field College Football Classic. But this long-anticipated event was not the first college game ever played at Lambeau Field. In the 1980s, St. Norbert College twice hosted Fordham University at Lambeau for the Vince Lombardi Memorial Classic – a series initiated by Coach Larry Van Alstine ’56. And it was a spur-of-the-moment souvenir photo snapped after the Nov. 19, 1983 game that led to a much more recent Lambeau reunion for five former Green – making a new and lasting memory in the process. The football alums met at Lambeau in the summer of 2016 to recreate the 1983 photo op that followed an 18-9 victory for the Green Knights.
