Green Bay Packers - a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The Packers compete in the NFL as a member club of the league's National Football Conference (NFC) North Division. They are the third oldest franchise in the NFL, organized and starting play in 1919. It is the ONLY non-profit COMMUNITY-owned major league professional sports team based in the United States. The Packers are the last vestige of "small town teams" common in the NFL in the 1920's and 1930''s.
Although Green Bay is by far the smallest professional sports market in North America, its' local fan and media base extends 120 miles south into Milwaukee. The Packers have played in their original city longer than any other team in the NFL.
The Packers have an exceptionally loyal fan base. Regardless of team performance, every game played in Green Bay has been sold out since 1960. Despite the Packers having by far the smallest local TV market, the team consistently ranks as one of the most popular in the NFL. They also have one of the longest season ticket waiting lists in professional sports, 86,000 names long, more than there are seats at Lambeau Field. The average wait is said to be over 30 years, but with only 90 or so tickets turned over annually, it would be 955 years before the newest name on the list got theirs. As a result, tickets are willed to next of kin and newborns are placed optimistically on the waiting list.
