The Green Bay Packers Trust


Does anyone have a link to a site with a good explanation of how the Green Bay Packers operate? As I understand it, it's owned by the fans in some sort of trust. So the Packers can't do things like Jerry Jones can do (because he personally owns the Cowboys.)

Thanks in advance.

I live in Green Bay and follow the team. I know they can't be sold or moved. If the team can't' continue in Green Bay for some reason, it's supposed to be liquidated and the money used to build a monument to military veterans or something like that. The team also puts out public financial statements each year, which I guess the other owners hate because that's more information than they'd like out there.

Thanks!

When was the last time a seat became available? How much money did it fetch?

I'm asking under the assumption that no one ever sells their seats, you need someone to die without any heirs to get one.

There's a waiting list of about 60 thousand for season tickets, last I heard. Some become available every season, but it's a long wait. My Uncle went on the list in his thirties I think, and he got his a few years ago, when he was in his sixties.
