8–5 NFL Football Corporation The 1925 Green Bay Packers season was their seventh season overall and their fifth season in the National Football League. The team finished with an 8–5 record under player/coach Curly Lambeau earning them a ninth-place finish. The season marked the first year the Packers played at City Stadium.
Background
Work began on a new football stadium in July 1925, located in Green Bay at Joannes Park, just north of old Hagemeister Park, where the Packers played through 1924. Construction of the facility, featuring grandstands on both sides of the field and bleachers in the end zones, was completed in just eight weeks — just in time for a September 13 tune up game against the professional team from Iron Mountain, Michigan, located in that state's Upper Peninsula.
The new "City Stadium" was touted as having roomy seating and wide aisles for fan convenience, with "every seat in the park" said to offer "a splendid view of the gridiron." About half the city of Iron Mountain made the trek to Green Bay for the game, one reporter noted with only slight exaggeration, and the visitors received a hearty round of applause for their serpentine dance on the field at halftime. The debut contest proved to be a mismatch, however, with the Michiganders thoroughly drubbed by a score of 48 to 6, with the "Big Bay Blues" making effective use of the forward pass to move the ball up the field.
