Freezing Fans Still Having Fun In, Around Lambeau Field

Packers Face Off Against Giants Sunday

Updated: 7:35 pm CST January 20, 2008

Sunday's cold temperatures couldn't stop Herb Kochon, who took as many pictures as he could at his first game at Lambeau Field.

Kochon, a lifelong Packers fan from New Jersey, said that he made the pilgrimage to Vince Lombardi's grave in nearby Middletown, N.J., and had the photos to prove it.

Kochon was dressed appropriately for the Packers' NFC championship game with the New York Giants on Sunday night.

At kickoff, the temperature was -1 degrees with a wind chill of 23-below in Green Bay, the second coldest home game in Packers' history.

A local group handed out 30,000 packets of hand warmers, while videographers had quilts and blankets over cameras in an effort to keep them functioning.

But big rewards awaited those who endured Sunday's bone-chilling temperatures -- a Super Bowl berth in balmy Glendale, Ariz.
