Playoff games there are an incredible experience, one you can only attend to 'get it'. It is so unlike any other venue, or any other fan-base. I'm jealous!
The last playoff game I attended was 1996 (?) versus the 49ers where it was 30 degrees and freezing rain. They tore up the turf so bad it had to be cut out and replaced after that game. They won the SuperBowl that year. The energy was amazing.

Yeah it was a mess. I think that was the reason they went to a different grass/synthetic after that season.
I didn't attend that game but during that season we did go to MNF game where Jacke kicked that 51 or 53 yard field goal in the rain to beat the 49ers in OT. We also went to the Denver game but that damn Shanahan held Elway out 'cause they had the playoffs sewn up and it was a 41-6 blowout.
'96 was a great year for the Packers.
