Green Bay Packers Tickets

Green Bay Packers information, Arguably one the most popular and successful teams in Football history, the Green Bay Packers officially became an NFL franchise in 1921. Since that time, the Packers have the most NFL Championships with twelve, three of which were Super Bowl titles (I, II, & XXXI) and nine were titles that came before the Super Bowl era (1967). The Packers also have the distinction of being the only publicly owned team in the NFL. They are owned by 112,015 community stockholders in the Wisconsin area that represent the 4.75 million shares to the franchise and rights to Lambeau Field.

A team so rich in history also had the most famous head coach of all time, Vince Lombardi. During the 1960’s, Lombardi led the Packers to five Championships in seven years, to this day the most dominant era for the Green Bay Packers. The NFL Championship trophy has since been named the “Lombardi Trophy” after all of his accomplishments and accolades in football.

In 2007, the Packers fell to the New York Giants in the NFC Championship game 23-20 in overtime. The loss too many marked the end of an era with QB Brett Favre at the reigns. For 16 seasons, Favre was the mastermind behind the Packers offense, leading them to seven division championships (1995, 1996, 1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2007) four NFC Championship Games (1995, 1996, 1997, and 2007), two NFC Championships (1996 and 1997), and one Super Bowl championship (XXXI).

Following the 2007 season, Favre announced his retirement from the NFL, only to later come back and ask for official reinstatement from the NFL during the 2008 pre-season. The league granted his reinstatement even after the Packers had offered their former star $20 million dollars to stay retired and help out the organization in other ways. Favre refused and re-joined the team only to be traded away to the New York Jets on Aug. 6, 2008 for a future fourth-round draft choice.

The Packers will look to QB Aaron Rodgers to fill Favre’s shoes and lead the franchise in a new era.
