The 1933

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at Borchert Field to draw additional revenue,[2] starting October 1, 1933, against the New York Giants.[3]

The Packers' 14–7 loss on September 23, 1933, to the Chicago Bears would give the Bears the edge in the all-time series between the two teams, and edge that the Bears would hold for over 84 years. The Packers would once again reclaim the all-time series lead against the Bears after a 35–14 victory in Lambeau Field on September 28, 2017.
