After the Minneapolis game, Lombardi brought the team back to Pewaukee Lake for a few final days of hard practices before the regular-season opener against the Bears on Sunday at City Stadium. A palpable sense of excitement coursed through the camp. Lombardi initially opened the practices to the public, but when more than one hundred fans showed up on Tuesday, the coach eyed them nervously, knowing George Halas was famous for spying on opponent practices. Fans who returned to watch the Wednesday and Thursday practices were shooed away by police.
