If we only invested in something for financial reasons, no one would have kids.

Shareholders also get to vote for the board of directors. The board of directors chooses the team president/gm. The packers are a non-profit and donate significantly to Wisconsin charities. You should stop misrepresenting the value of Packers stock. Packers fans actually have a say in how their team is run, as opposed to the fans in say…Minnesota, or Buffalo, or Cincinnati our any other city where the public has paid for a stadium for the pleasure of having a billionaire generate massive profits.

I still think the stock is kinda cool. I’m not a Packer fan, but I can see getting it if the 49ers did it. I don’t think it’s an investment or anything, in fact I doubt I’d even go to a share holders meeting; but just like having a classic jersey or framed poster to hang up in a basement or study.

Keep ripping on a beautiful thing and calling it worthless stock everyone. It only screams the jealousy you all have of the Packer nation. Most of you can’t even fill your stadiums on game day

“At the meeting, shareholders will elect new directors and hear from G.M. Ted Thompson.

So, yeah, maybe a share of stock that doesn’t appreciate in value and can’t be sold isn’t such a bad investment, after all.”

Sounds like Florio is finally seeing that some things are worth more than money.

- Like this post if you respect the fact that the Green Bay Packers are the only team in professional sports that are Owned by the fans.

Trusting these bonehead cheeseheads to make a decision as important as electing directors they likely will go the meeting with no prior knowledge about?

What could possibly go wrong?

Skip it, Im going to tailgate. Except I dont have to buy an 80$ ticket and 5$ beers. It’s a cheap away game. That way it’ll be the first time I won’t see the Lions lose there.

Amuses me that people think Packer fans are suckers for buying stock to provide funding to a non-profit organization to improve the stadium. The rest of you suckers can keep lining the pockets of billionaire owners, I’ll continue to accumulate stock and contribute to keeping the Packers community-owned.

I’d pay $250 for a lifetime invitation to Jets meetings, even if the theme would pretty much always be “We disappointed you last year, but this time things are different!”

Sounds like the Packer’s shareholder meeting will generate a higher turnout than the Vikings home opener.
