BELOIT -- Many may claim they were at the Green Bay Packers' Ice Bowl game, but few have the ticket stub to prove it.
Terry Leahy was one of 50,000 fans to witness, and survive, the most legendary game in Green Bay Packers football history -- "The Ice Bowl" at Lambeau Field on Dec. 31, 1967.
Leahy, 69, of Beloit, kept the ticket stub to prove it, and recently traveled to Green Bay to donate the 41-year-old souvenir to the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame.
"We've got a couple of (Ice Bowl ticket stubs), but not necessarily in the best of shape," said Tom Murphy, Packers Hall of Fame archivist and executive committee member. "So, we're happy to have it."
"I have no idea what it's worth," Leahy said of his souvenir. "If I did, I'm afraid I might renege on my deal with the hall, so I don't want to know."
