Your thoughts on the Packers 'owners'
    #16977866 - 10/06/12 01:36 PM (11 years, 3 months ago)

Im just curious what most people think of the arrangement the Packers have going.
When shareholders say they're NFL Owners, do you roll you eyes?

I purchased a share last year and have it all framed up nicely in my bedroom/sports display area. I personally love that my team is run like it is, but being from Wisconsin and only hearing local thoughts on the subject, I don't think I get the true, general opinion.

Would you consider me an owner, a fool, a guy with a certificate, or no different than anybody else?

I'd say that you are an owner, a guy with a certificate, and just like everyone else.

I dont generally go and say "Im an owner", because it feels a little douchey, IMO, but yeah, I didn't quite know how the rest of the sports nation felt about those type of comments.

Is the general consensus that the Packers have a good thing going with their setup, or is it look upon as hokey to those not from Wisconsin/not Packer fan?

edit...Ive never lived elsewhere, and for the past 29 years of my life, the Packers are talked about often. It's just that Ive been wondering how the rest of the nation see these things

Not for nothing but I've considered buying a share myself.  I assume you get dividends and voting rights.

I get voting rights, access to shareholder meetings and such, but sadly, no, nothing gets paid back to me.
Just the 'pride' in being a part of it.

It all goes back in to the team for payroll and stadium upgrades and such
It's nonprofit

They release their expense report to us every year.

It's sort of a good thing/bad thing.
We're the only team that releases their records, so everyone can gauge the other 31 owners' profits based on what the Packers release.

It became news during the strike in regards to the owners bitching about the return on their investments.

They're not for sale any more.
They were only up for a few months about a year ago, sadly.

The next stock sale probably wont be for another 15 years or more.


edit..from the website  "Fans have supported the team financially through five stock sales: 1923, 1935, 1950, 1997 and 2011."

So, it may be 10, may be 30 years. Who knows.

This one was to help fund...
"All proceeds from the most recent offering are going toward the expansion of Lambeau Field, a $143 million project that includes approximately 6,700 seats, new HD video boards, a new sound system and two new gates. The new sound system was in place for the 2011 season, the new video boards and one gate will be ready for 2012 and the new seats and second gate will debut for the 2013 season."

$250

I found the price to be a little steep, but when you consider everything, I concluded it to be a value.
Seeing that the chances are so few and far between, it's a lifelong deal, a chance at being a part of something great (that you're a fan of, no less), and a kick ass one of a kind display piece :datass:

I had inital trouble choking up the cash, but seeing how I would've just gotten fucked up with it or pissed it away towards something more temporary, I am very satisfied in my decision. It became my Christmas present for myself.
