The Green Bay Packers Game Tickets were founded on August 11, 1919. Curly Lambeau, the team's founder, solicited funds for uniforms from his employer, the Indian Packing Company. Although the Indian Packing Company only supported the team through part of its first season, the Green Bay Packers football club has always been known as the Packers. Lambeau, a Notre Dame alum, chose the teams' colors of blue and gold/yellow from his alma mater. The colors where later changed to the current green and gold/yellow.

The Green Bay Packers News became a professional franchise in 1921. Financial troubles plagued the team and the franchise was lost the same year. The Packers found new backers the next year and regained the franchise. The financial backers, known as the "Hungry Five," formed the Green Bay Packers Football Corporation.

Every year, the Green Bay Packers and the Minnesota Vikings square off against each other two times. There have been countless memories over the years for the rivalry. Last season when quarterback Brett Favre joined the Minnesota Vikings, it upped the ante in economic proportions. Brett Favre Watch had quarterbacked the Green Bay Packers for 16 years and was pretty much the President of the state of Wisconsin. Last season, Minnesota swept Green Bay winning both games. If Brett does return to the Minnesota Vikings, it will make for another classic showdown between the two rivals. On November 21, you can expect a packed house at Mall of America Field for the Minnesota Viking

The Packers are now the only publicly owned company with shares to buy and sell and a board of directors in American professional sports. The typical scenario is a team owned by one person; thus, a "team owner." It has been speculated that this is one of the reasons the Green Bay Packers Packers have never been moved from the city of Green Bay Packers, a city of just over 100,000 people. By comparison, the typical NFL football city must be populated in the millions to support a team. However, the Packers have long had a large following throughout the state of Wisconsin; in fact, for decades, the Packers played several home games each year in Milwaukee. The Packers did not move their entire home schedule to Green Bay Packers until 1995.

Based on the original 'Articles of Incorporation for the (then) Green Bay Packers Football Corporation' put into place in 1923, if the Packers franchise was sold, after the payment of all expenses, any remaining monies would go to the Sullivan-Wallen Post of the American Legion in order to build "a proper soldier's memorial." This stipulation was enacted to ensure that the club remained in Green Bay Packers and that there could never be any financial enhancement for the shareholder. The beneficiary was changed from the Sullivan-Wallen Post to the Green Bay Packers Packers Foundation on the basis of a shareholder vote at the November, 1997 meeting.

In 1950, the Packers held a stock sale to again raise money to support the team. In 1956 area voters approved the construction of a new stadium, which would later be called Lambeau Field.

Another stock sale occurred late in 1997 and early in 1998. It added 105,989 new shareholders and raised more than $24 million, monies which were utilized for the Lambeau Field redevelopment project. Priced at $200 per share, fans bought 120,010 shares during the 17-week sale, which ended March 16, 1998. Presently, 111,507 people (representing 4,748,910 shares) can lay claim to a franchise ownership interest. Shares of stock include voting rights, but the redemption price is minimal, no dividends are ever paid, the stock cannot appreciate in value, and there are no season ticket privileges associated with stock ownership. No shareholder is allowed to own more than 200,000 shares, a safeguard to ensure that no one individual is able to assume control of the club. As a means of running the corporation, a board of directors is elected by the stockholders. The board of directors in turn elect a seven-member Executive Committee (officers) of the corporation, consisting of a president, vice president, treasurer, secretary and three members-at-large. The president is the only officer who receives compensation. The balance of the committee is sitting gratis.

The Packers have won more league championships (twelve, including two world championships) than any other professional football team. They are also the only professional football team to win three straight titles, which they did twice (1929, 1930, 1931, and 1965, 1966, 1967).

The Green Bay Packers Packers of the 1960s were one of the most dominant NFL teams of all time. Coach Vince Lombardi took over a last-place team and built it into a juggernaut, winning five league championships over a seven-year span. Green Bay Packers won the first two Super Bowls. The Super Bowl trophy was ultimately named the Vince Lombardi Trophy in recognition of his and his team's accomplishment.

In recent decades, the Packers have found themselves with an extremely dedicated fan base. No matter how good or poor the season, Lambeau Field has been a sellout every game for years; the Packers have one of the longest waiting lists for season tickets in professional sports. The current wait time for season tickets is approximately 35 years. That is, someone who entered their name on the waiting list for Packers season tickets in 1970 is just now coming to the top of the list in 2004. For this reason, it is not unusual for parents to will their Packers tickets to next-of-kin.

The Packers also draw the largest national TV audiences for the NFL's Monday Night Football telecasts. Packers fans are commonly known as "cheeseheads," presumably because Wisconsin is known for its cheese production. To poke fun at that this nickname, they wear foam triangles made to look like cheese on their heads, which further re-enforces the "cheesehead" designation.

Green Bay Packers History

JIM TAYLOR (FB, Packers and Saints 1958-67; Inducted Pro Football Hall of Fame 1976) spent most of his 10 Packer seasons playing for the legendary Vince Lombardi. "He was a tremendous motivator." Taylor said. "He knew what buttons to push, just a great coach." Taylor lives with his wife in his hometown of Baton Rouge, La., and has two grown children. Taylor played his final NFL season for the New Orleans Saints. After retiring as a player, he spent two decades in the Saint organization doing public relations and radio broadcasting. "Some things have changed since I played," he said. "But the game is still played with leverage, intensity and execution. The game will always come down to teamwork." Taylor was a key member of one of the greatest teams in NFL history. With Taylor leading the ground assault, the Green Bay Packers dynasty of the 1900s won five NFL titles, including the first two Super Bowls. "We were very confident in our rushing game;" Taylor said. "We were going to set up and run the ball and dared you to try to stop us." Taylor rushed for more than 1,0(x) yards in five consecutive seasons (1960-64). He enjoyed his best season in 1962 when he led the league in rushing yards (1,474) and touch downs (19) and was named NFL Player of the Year. Taylor was named to five Pro Bowls during a 132-game career in which he rushed for 8,597 yards, caught 225 passes for another 1.756 yards and scored 93 touchdowns.
