My ex-wife was from Green Bay and she explained to me that the Packers are 1) the only team in the NFL that is owned by the fans (shares) and 2) the only team that allows season tickets to be Willed/passed down from generation to generation. That's why it's so hard for someone new to get tickets. It's not capacity since it seats 81,000. It's just that almost no one gives up their existing tickets and pass along to relatives.
Actual resident of Green Bay here (really). Die hard Packer fan. The boys think a new venue is needed. NO WAY. Lambeau Field is far too iconic to ever be abandoned. It will NEVER happen. The Packers have also recently completed the Titletown District just to the west of the stadium that is beginning to rival other stadium districts such as the district around Foxboro.
Green Bay is also kinda small for an NFL city, only about 100k population (~300k in the metro area). It's the smallest NFL city - ever other city has at least 1 million in the metro area.
@Hawks it really doesn't matter. The Packers are a Wisconsin team, not Green Bay team. Milwaukee gets two home games to compensate for the team not playing there anymore. Not to mention the fans scattered all over the US. My family in Phoenix are all Packer fans and try to make a game every year. You would not believe the traffic leaving Green Bay after a game. It rivals MUCH larger cities.
Interesting additional info regarding Orlando Brown, the offensive lineman who was blinded by a ref's flag and was never the same: His son, Orlando Brown Jr., entered the NFL in 2018, and now will be playing for the Cincinnati Bengals, after winning the Super Bowl with the Chiefs this past season.
Chicago is where QBs go to die. Thanks to Sayers and Payton (running backs) and Butkus and the 85 Bears defense, the biggest names in Chicago football are defensive players and running backs. The fans here like that style of play. At least as long as I've lived here (55 years)
Re: #2 Not having a 4000yd passer is hardly as devastating as they made it sound and their lack of premier passing has largely been by choice over the years. It hasn't prevented them from getting to the playoffs, or even the Super Bowl. The Bears' identity has always proudly been about their defense and running attack. It's no accident the team was home to some of the best running backs and defensive players in league history.
The 4000yd mark is for a single season. You gentlemen should react to the career of Gayle Sayers known as the Kansas Comet and you will see why his induction to the HOF was more than deserved.
#7 entry is bizarre. As the video mentioned there are so many people on the waiting list that parents often time put their kids' names down in the queue at birth so by the time the kids are 30-50 years old they'll be up for the season tickets lol. The Green Bay Packers are the only NFL team that isn't owned by a billionaire, instead, the city basically runs it so that may be why this is the case.
It is not run by the city, but by a board of directors that is headed by CEO Mark Murphy. A seven-member executive committee elected from a board of directors governs the corporation. The committee directs corporate management, approves major capital expenditures, establishes broad policy and monitors management's performance in conducting the business and affairs of the corporation.
Gotta concur there regarding the Bills. Super Bowls 25 and 26 were bad, 27 was so horrible that I missed the sheer joy of the Michael Jackson halftime show, and 28 I was just exhausted. Somehow it's better nowadays being Super Bowl favorites or close to it the past three years and not even making it to the AFC Championship game two of those years, though I'm getting nervous about the window closing... at least I have the perspective of the 17 years without a playoff appearance to put it into perspective. I was barely a teenager the first SB loss.
The coach & several marquee players from the early 90s Buffalo BIlls were in a Snickers commercial at that time. It opens on a lockerroom with the coach pepping up the team: Coach- "This year, we're going _all the way!" Team- "YEAH!" C- "This year, we're gonna win it all!" T- "YEAH!" C- "And _no one_ is leaving this lockerroom until we figure out how." T- "..." _the silence holds for a minute, then the voiceover comes on with Snickers' new advertising slogan_ ... *Not going anywhere for a while* ? Grab a Snickers. That was easily the funniest commercial I have ever seen, because it actually starred the coach & players who just couldn't win the Super Bowl!
I think one reason the NFL is gaining traction outside of the USA: society is becoming more feminine, and guys are in search of manly things. Watching a game at home without somebody uttering "toxic masculinity" is nice.
Green Bay will never build another Stadium! Lambeau Field is one of the most iconic stadiums in all of sports and in the NFL it is also one of the largest capacity stadiums already!
I came up with that idea years ago putting chips in the ball so that you would know if it went out of bounds or how far the pass went. Stuff like that how high the punt was
There used to be players who were specifically "enforcers". They made sure payback way dealt for cheap shots against their teammates. Sometimes payback was dealt from stuff that happened long ago. It's the "enforcers" job to make sure it happened.
I don't know if the version of MASH you have has the laugh track added in (they did that for the U.S. version, but the DVD set has the option to watch it without it), but if yours does have the laugh track, try to watch it without the laugh track. Even though it was billed as a comedy, that show is f******g _dark_ ! I mean, what do you expect from a show whose theme song is _Súícídé is Painless_ ? But still, really dark show.
With the Green Bay Packers, the wait list is only around 50 years if you want tickets to every single home game. If you want to attend 1-2 games a year instead of 8 games, you can easily find tickets for a good portion of the games. I've been to several Packer games, and I'm still approximately 25+ years away from possibly getting season tickets.
The commissioner usually has a legal background. Most times they've been to law school. They keep the lines of communication open between owners and players.
For some context, the first year Buffalo went, they almost won. If kicker Scott Norwood makes his last second kick, instead of pushing it wide right, they win. As Sports Illustrated wrote, "If Scott Norwood makes that kick, then this article is about Jim Kelly and glory of the K-Gun Offense. But he didn't and this article is about the Giants and playing smash mouth football." The losses got progressively worse. It's been damaging.
There is no requirement that visiting NFL teams wear their white jerseys. Before the season starts each club notifies NFL Football Operations of the jersey color they intend to wear (white or the official team color) for each of their home games in the coming season. If a club fails to provide this notification, they will be required to wear white jerseys for all of their home games. It just happens that most clubs prefer to wear their colors at home. Back in their 'Glory Days' the Dallas Cowboys always wore their whites at home, and only rarely were forced to wear their colors on the road. It was really weird to see them in blue jerseys. It seems their coach, Tom Landry, believed that white jerseys made players appear bigger and thus more imposing.
Gale Sayers was a fantastic player back in the late 1960's-early 1970's. The teams he played on weren't anything special, but Sayers was. He blew out a knee while running a sweep against the San Francisco 49er's and being tackled by Kermit Alexander. I wasn't a Bear's fan, but everyone who watched football felt horrible about it. He was a great kick returner as well. For those of us that saw him play he might have been the best running back ever.
Dave they will never build a new Football stadium in Greenbay, Lambeau Field is named after Coach Curly Lambeau, and the late great Coach Vince Lombardi won five championships hence the Lombardi Trophy. He is the reason it's named title town USA.
@@detourmore470 Yankee stadium was just the stadium though IIRC. With Lambeau there is a ton of space to build outwards, and make new additions. They built a whole district where families/people can spend the whole day doing fun stuff related to the Packers, but not having anything to do with the game itself. The team/city is buying up houses surrounding the stadium so that they can expand in the future. There is a row of houses next to the stadium where they are insured for millions of dollars, and people don't live there year round. They are houses that are used for hosting parties, and that have rare collections of Packers memorabilia.
The NFL Commissioner is selected by a vote from the 32 team owners or their representatives. A candidate must receive at least 75% of the votes (24 out of 32) to be appointed as Commissioner.
The commissioners are basically puppets that are voted in by the league owners, which makes it interesting cause they also have to deal out punishments whenever a team breaks the rules leading to many many conflicts of interest. For the most part he's just paid a lot of money to be a scapegoat that us fans boo every time we see
Also, Green Bay's stadium is historic. It's like Old Trafford. They're supposed to be adding a couple of thousand more seats, but It's a long shot that the Packers will ever replace Lambeau Field.
@@DenariusHaveNarius Green Bay fans are another breed. They sit in the freezing Wisconsin winters to watch the game. Mind you, Lambeau has bleachers, not traditional seats. You have to bring your own cushion and back rest if you want that. I think all of that adds to the "experience" of Lambeau Field for the fans.
@@DenariusHaveNarius Fans love the stadium since it's a nostalgia thing for people. They don't have individual seats like some stadiums have, but instead have metal bleachers. The stadium itself is 100x nicer than it used to be. I remember going to Lambeau before the really big renovation they did (back in the mid 90's), and it was probably one of the worst stadiums in the country. Now it's super modern looking outside of the seating area. They have also built a Titletown district with a sledding hill, a brewery/restaurant, a hotel, a giant tailgate zone, a playground for kids, and a full size turf football field where kids can go and play before games. That doesn't even include the restaurant, pro shop, or the Packers Hall of Fame included within the stadium. You can literally spend 2 days at the stadium/Titletown district.
the NFL Commissioner is voted in by the NFL owners. He's currently on a 5-year deal that expires next year. We could see a new commissioner soon since Goodell is 64 and might want to retire.
I've Been a Bears fan my entire life, in that time not only have our QBs been awful, our biggest rival, Geen Bay, has had back-to-back all-time great QB's. That makes it hurt even worse.
Never chucked a bottle on the field, but I did stick a 1/2-cup of bear in the folded seat of the drunken jackass next to me when he went to the loo. He came back and immediately dumped it up his butt crack when flopping in his chair! Worked to perfection as he spent most of the rest of the game nowhere near us. 😉
There's room in Europe for successful Gridiron Football, just like there's room for Soccer in North America. It's all about tapping-in to those ever-increasing consumers who have the ability through new media outlets (created by the internet, streaming, etc.) to find the consumer's personal interests instead of "Ye Olden Days" when what was on TV was what ya got.
Buffalo should have won the first SB they played in. They just barely missed a field goal at the end of the game. It was around a 42 yard kick. I wouldn't be surprised if they finally win one soon.
Guessing the youngest NFL Hall Of Fame inductee was 17? How could you have HOF career at 17? In the US, in all sports the Hall Of Fame is reserved for only a rare few. It's a big deal.
I refused to watch #14 because I hate the Seahawks. Instead I went to a movie theater and then walked around until I got word the game was over. I was glad to find out after the fact that they’d lost.
Commissioner is the worst job ever, if not for the money. He's a meat shield for everything shady the owners or "league" does. I wouldn't want it. For a while, it was his job to solve domestic violence... No thanks.
Funny thing is you say that and over here we have the same. May be not the same but really really close to what you guys have to deal with look into it. And hears one for you monetization in video games and lot far either.
They wont play soccer games at 3 o'clock on a Saturday in the country it's being played because of violence? I bet English people wish they lived in a free country.
goodell is a lefty stooge . He makes horrible marketing decisions based upon his "politically correct " philosophy ,but the game is so good that it overcomes goodell's idiocy .
Isn't he elected by the 32 owners of the NFL? Why would 32 billionaire, many of whom are republicans elected a "lefty" and pay him 64 million dollars. Not to mention his father was a Republican senator, and Goodell himself is aligned with the Republican party.
Video games are one of the unsung heroes of the NFL's surge in global popularity over the last 20 years or so.
