Lombardi Time

According to former Green Bay Packer great, Paul Hourning, there were two “times,” when playing for coach Vince Lombardi.

Regular time vs. “Lombardi Time.”

Regular time was what most people followed.

Lombardi Time was always fifteen minutes earlier. And it was adhered to by winners.

If a Packer meeting was scheduled to begin at 8:00 am, astute players would know to arrive and be ready to go at 7:45 am.

Every time.
