Green Bay Packers fans own one NFL team each, as shown here. Here is how it works.

However, what most of all intrigues me is when people try and pass off as being from elsewhere – in other words when there is something completely foreign around. So as well as looking after myself I make time to help other people. So let’s come together & do this together Jeff Robinson | Icon Sportswire | Getty ImagesOnly one National Football League team can claim ownership resembling that of a publicly-held corporation: Green Bay Packers are currently valued as 12th most valuable franchise at $6.3 billion according to CNBC’s Official 2024 NFL Team Valuations Report and thus represent one of only four North American professional sports leagues that is publicly held. The Packers franchise is owned entirely by stockholders – many of them fans – according to an arrangement established over 100 years ago. Since 1923, six stock offerings began; these began with 1923’s issuer offering, 1935’s distributer offering, 1950’s issuer offering, 1997’s offering, 2011s offering and 2021s offering; these shares have since been held by 538,000+ people according to 2024 media guide of team. They do not pay dividends nor transfer easily between generations as there is no inherent market value attached or inherent therein for these shares! Shareholders have access to attend the annual shareholder meeting and elect the board of directors, but according to the team there are no financial gains from ownership. No shareholder gets paid until selling back their stake to the team at a percentage of its original share price, such as 638 million for revenue in 2023 and $128 million before taxes, depreciation and amortization were taken into account. The Packers are a not-for-profit entity; as such, only its president receives compensation. Their annual revenues go toward paying players, maintaining Lambeau Field and marketing expenses among others. Sharing offerings have proven instrumental to pulling the Packers out of difficult financial circumstances and undertaking major upgrades at Lambeau Field, respectively. Given this unique structure, newly approved private equity investors will likely show little enthusiasm towards investing in this team. Deep-pocketed investors cannot use their funds to earn returns; there is an ownership cap of only 200,000 shares per individual — representing less than four percent of an NFL team’s outstanding shares. Current rules allow approved private equity firms to own up to 10% of any franchise, though even if the Packers wanted one of these firms to own that much, it likely wouldn’t attract investors. Since stock offerings occur only rarely, timing becomes one of the primary barriers for Packers fans looking to own part of the team. In 1923, one share of stock cost $5. Even as their price has gradually increased over time to as high as $300 for an offering that began in 2021, this represents only a tiny portion of an NFL team’s estimated average valuation of $6.49 billion today. Their unique ownership structure further sets them apart within their league. Green Bay stands as the smallest television market of any of the 32 NFL teams and doesn’t attract as much tourism as cities such as Las Vegas, Miami, New York or Los Angeles do with teams having NFL presence – although its quarterback situation often provokes criticism among other fans and organizations due to Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers or Jordan Love serving in succession as quarterback for Green Bay over time. They begin their 2019 campaign this Friday against Philadelphia Eagles with Love leading them with recently signing an impressive four-year, $220 Million extension contract extension extension agreement extension contract that makes him the only player ever given such an honorary tie!
