September 11, 1964, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern
While this gastronomical feast is all well and good, nothing is stated about being able to view the actual game during these hours. Granted, it was 1964 and television and the NFL had particular rules about sell-outs and broadcasts, so a home game viewing was unheard of. Prior to 1973, all games were blacked out in the home city of origin and on any TV stations located within 75 miles of the team's home city, regardless of whether they were sold out. And as for away games, the idea of a television in a restaurant dining room was something unheard of anyway, aside for the local corner tavern. So the expectation was likely low for this to happen. Still, hubby might be able to curry favor with his best girl during the game by taking her out to eat. So, in the end, the game might have been a minor consideration by this time in his planning.
