Wasn't the game in 1989 at Milwaukee Fulton County stadium? Or was that some other time.

Here you go;

Both the Packers and Cowboys finished last in 1988 in each of the NFC's two five-team divisions, and so they played twice in '89. Also, Tampa and Dallas finished last in those divisions in '89 and played each other two times in 1990.

Apparently uneven divisional teams in conference created the need for some teams playing a non divisional team twice. When the realignment came in early 90’s this was resolved .

Great question !!!!

Money, as the answer to most questions. They began playing there part time due to money. Once they finally renovated Lambeau enough that it became more profitable to only play there, they stopped splitting sites. Milwaukee only held around 53,000 people for a football game. Lambeau currently holds 81,000.

The Orange Bowl was an even worse place to play for Dallas.

0-2 in the regular season
1-2 in Playoff Bowls
0-3 in Super Bowls

Lambeau Field has been a House of Horrors for America’s Team, with the Cowboys losing nine of 11 visits to the Green Bay Packers’ fabled stadium. From the infamous Ice Bowl in 1967, to the 45-7 lackluster loss that got Wade Phillips fired in mid-season in 2010, to Dez Bryant’s controversial catch-non-catch in the 2015 playoff loss, the “frozen tundra” has generally been inhospitable to the Cowboys.

Heading to eastern Wisconsin in November can always be a dicey - icy? - proposition, but the Cowboys and coach McCarthy just might be catching the Packers at a cozy time.

The forecast Sunday calls for temperatures in the mid-30s with clear skies. The outlook for the struggling Packers couldn’t be more inviting.

McCarthy, who coached the Packers to a Super Bowl championship during his 13-year career, won’t recognize his former team when returns to Green Bay as an opposing coach for the time since he was fired in 2018.

I attended one of those losses in 1989 with the Cowboys Travel Club which Jethro begun in his inaugural season. It was in mid to late October and weather was mild for them in the 40’s - 50’s.

I had traveled with the team initially to New Orleans in JJ’s debut game and stayed at same hotel able to greet the players and coaches in their arrival. We also had breakfast with one of the asst coaches .

Such a wonderful Travel Club . Did several times thru the 90’s. But this particular trip stands out as my favorite . Not only was it my first encounter with our current owner as we were in the gift shop in line together but my most enjoyable trip.

If you ever travel or attend any road venue Green Bay is the place to go. The history in Title Town USA is amazing. Packers have their own Hall of Fame museum. And the Cowboys are well represented.

Green Bay is by far the smallest city of all NFL sites. And I’ve never been more warmly greeted by the citizens but also the fans . Classy classy fans and people. No other venue, city or fans measure up .

A struggling team can be dangerous. All the miscues of the previous game will most likely be cleaned up and it will be up to Dallas to come to play at historic Lambeau with their A game and not slack off. The NFL can produce underdogs as victorious winners on any given Sunday. I never like to go into any game cocky with the attitude that the game is won before it's played. However I do like swagger and confidence going into any game. Hope ARod is on the turf a lot by committee all day long.
