Frederick Newell Trowbridge Sr. (February 18, 1900 – March 14, 1987) was a lawyer and an executive for the Green Bay Packers from 1950 to 1987.
[2] Trowbridge joined the Packers' Executive Committee and Board of Directors in 1950 and remained for 31 years.
Blackbourn refused to resign and insisted that the Packers publicly fire him instead - which the team did while Blackburn was still in Alabama.
[3] In 1960, Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney submitted Trowbridge's name for consideration when the NFL was selecting a commissioner after the death of Bert Bell.
[1] It was in Trowbridge's law office in the Bellin Building in Green Bay where Vince Lombardi requested his release from the team in 1969 to become the head coach of the Washington Redskins.
