I get to know that an awesome organization is run by honorable leaders who care about the fans and winning. When I buy merchandise or attend events at Lambeau Field, I know I am helping my team achieve its goals and not padding my own pockets.

Looooonnnnngtime fan and not an owner but made sure my mom and sons are. My dad, always a “Packer Backer,” bought stock when I was a teen.

Whenever my Cowboys relatives talk about being a diehard fan and show me their tattoos, I just point to my shares certificate on the wall and silence the entire room. Also, it’s a great conversation starter whenever someone asks if I am a Packers fan when I’m wearing my Packers gear.
I was in a workshop where the facilitator introduced himself as a Cowboys fan and asked us what teams we were fans of. My friend, Don, was the only other Packers fan. When my turn came, I said, “Sorry, I’m really not a football fan…I’m an owner.” Don, turned and said, “You bought stock? What a waste of money, you…
