  1. It was very difficult for me to decide witch field cover to get on my ultimate board. I was wondering if anyone has tried putting a second field cover on a board but not sticking it down so it can be easily removed. Maybe hold it down with end zone magnets. Someone then could order a different cover and just switch them out.

  2. Awhile ago Tudor games sold a 2x4 foot board in a wood cabinet with legs. I believe miggle owned Tudor games then as it suddenly disappeared from the web page. It has been replaced by the ultimate board. Does anyone own one of these and how does it compare with the ultimate other then size. If I remember it sold for about the same as the ultimate.

  3. I’m 62 and remember the last couple of years of the Lombardi era. Big fan of John  Brockington (70’s) Lynn Dickey (80’s) though  it was tough being a packer fan during the 70’s and 80’s. It’s been a lot easier the last 25 years. But I guess l’m just a football fan in general.

  4. Great setup, when I ordered my ultimate board I thought of getting the TOEPRO field but I really like the packers. Tudor should make team logos on the TOEPRO style field unless it’s a copyright infringement. Also is the side boards available for purchase or is it a homemade setup. And if homemade can you share materials and instructions to make my own.

  5. I faced this same problem. On my ultimate board I use the Tudor sticks and measure form the line of scrimmage. To pass across the field, if the QB is between the far hash mark and far sideline from the receiver I use the next longer stick if the pass is longer than my measuring stick I combine my red and blue stick. this gives me a completion percentage about equal to the QB’s of today. It has worked well for me.

  6. The one on the table seems to have jogged a memory. My folks probably bought it at sears ,k-mart, or a store called Phillips as this is where they mostly shopped. I do remember I was able to by the dark jersey packers at a store in Madison wi but don’t remember  what store it was at. My guess is that it was 70 or 71 when I received it.

    when I bought my second board in 94 or 95 (it was a 49ers -chargers Super Bowl game) it didn’t seem much different. Then  I got a 36x18 pro bowl game a few years ago and a lot had changed. My newest board is my packers ultimate board. I run it with 2 motors and I love it.

  7. Can someone help? I got my first electric football game as a kid at Christmas in the late 60’s or early 70’s.all I remember is that it was the giants and bears. I used current (for that time) roster. I remember I had Fran Tarkington as my Qb for the giants..could someone tell me what board and year it may be. I used to play for hours then life happened. I grew up , left home ,my parents moved and all my stuff disappeared. The 2 things I wish I still had from then are that game and my autographed first Ray Nitschke pro report weekly newspaper. I still have his book (also autographed) witch I will never get rid of.

  8. Every football fan should try and see these two hall of fames. I went to the old packer hall of Fame many times as my job took me to Green Bay twice a week for a year in the late 80’s and I stayed in a hotel across the street to the old hall and next to the practice field.some of the players stayed in the hotel during mini camps. It was a dream come true for a Packers fan.when I went back up there a few years ago I was amazed at the changes. I took a behind the scenes tour of the stadium and it was fantastic. The pro football hall of fame was a great trip and I crossed off number one from my bucket list. Everyone there was great from the head man on down and there was a lot of joking between fans from different teams. I highly recommend both trips.
