Does the city of Green Bay or the Packers own Lambeau Field.

Lambeau Field is owned by the city of Green Bay and leased to the Packers Organization. The Packers are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the stadium.

The Green Bay Packers will add 6,600 seats to Lambeau Field. The additional seats would increase capacity to 79,000 making Lambeau the fourth-largest stadium in the NFL. The expansion will be completed prior to the 2012 season.

Where are they adding the new seats? And are any going to be Luxury Boxes?

The new seats will be located at the south end zone and will be outdoors. There are no luxury boxes planned at this time but could be added in a future expansion. They are also adding a larger video scoreboard with a better sound system. There are currently 87,000 fans on the seson ticket waiting list.

Never been to Lambeau Field but I heard that Packer fans like to drink & party hard. That sounds like a good combination to me.

I think most NFL fans like to enjoy good food and alcoholic beverages and have a good time.

the patriots org. added 100 more porta-potties to the paking-areas and hired 50 more workers to help clean-up too.

I would like to attend a game at Foxboro Stadium some day. What is the seating capacity there?

the patriots have have a 50,000+/fan waiting-list since 2001,.....but 87,000 is unbelievable !,.....it's shocking when your team wins and everybody wants in,.......up here we call them =pink-hats [new fanz who like talkin on the cells].

We had a huge waiting list in the 70's and 80's when our team sucked. I can still remember all those late season games in cold, snowy, weather watching opposing teams kick our butts.

SORRY..reported it (BLOG) last month at the stockholders meeting....old news. Thanx for the reminder though.

I wonder if they are going to sell more stock to fund this project. I heard they already have over 100,000 shareholders.

Good for the Packers. I don't consider myself a true GB fan but I gained alotta respect for them back in 1995 when that rat b*//s/ta/r/d, no good for nothin' waste of good air Art "The Weasel" Modell moved the Browns outta Cleveland. Before that I had no idea that the city of GB owns the Packers and not one greedy millionaire that could move the team outta town over a stadium issue.

The Packers have 112,158 shareholders who own 4,750,937 shares of stock. The stock does not pay dividends and no owner can hold more than 200,000 shares.

During the 1997-1998 stock sale shares were sold for $200.00 each. The Packers Organization netted $24 million from that sale.

There is no way the Packers can be moved to another city according to their charter.
