Green Bay: Titletown and the Only Community-Owned NFL Franchise
Green Bay holds a place in professional sports that no other American city can claim. The Packers, founded in 1919 by Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun, are the only NFL team owned by their fans through publicly held shares. More than 360,000 shareholders hold stock that pays no dividends and cannot appreciate in value. The arrangement has kept the franchise in a market of just over 100,000 residents for more than a century despite repeated pressures from league economics.
Lambeau Field, originally City Stadium, opened in 1957 and now seats more than 81,000 spectators. The surrounding Titletown District, developed alongside the stadium in recent years, includes a plaza, hotel, and public space that has extended game-day activity beyond the stadium bowl itself. The bay of Green Bay at the mouth of the Fox River gives the city its name and has historically functioned as a shipping corridor connecting the Great Lakes system to the paper mills of the Fox Valley.
Paper manufacturing was the industrial core of the regional economy throughout the twentieth century. Georgia-Pacific and Procter & Gamble continue to operate large production facilities in or near the city. Bellin Health and Prevea Health anchor a growing medical services sector that has partially offset declines in mill employment.
