About Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers, established in 1919, are among the NFL’s oldest franchises. Only the Arizona Cardinals franchise and the Chicago Bears franchise have been around longer than the Packers. The Packers have perhaps the richest tradition in the NFL. Green Bay stands alone as the only non-corporate owned franchise in American professional sports. The team plays all home games at Lambeau Field, named for one of their co-founders Earl “Curly” Lambeau. Tickets for Packers’ games at Lambeau Field are among, if not, the toughest to find. Packer fans place their children’s’ names on the season ticket waiting list upon birth in Green Bay as season tickets are near impossible to get and free up only upon the death of loyal fans in many instances. Having said that, our service offers secondary market tickets sold to us by fans that can not attend the game. To get access to these tickets, simply browse our site or give us a call.
The Packers have played at Lambeau Field since 1957 and the stadium holds the record as being the longest, continually occupied stadium in the NFL. Lambeau Field was also the first stadium constructed with only one team’s use in mind and was the first single purpose stadium for an NFL franchise. Green Bay holds the distinction of having the most titles in NFL history, having a total of 12 titles. The Packers hold three NFL titles through finishing first in the league, six NFL titles through the NFL Championship, and three Super Bowl titles.
Since 1992 the Packers have been in the midst of a revival. Starting in 1992, the Packers began a run of 13 consecutive non-losing seasons. Their worst record in that stretch was 8-8 and they appeared in two Super Bowls, winning one and losing the other. In 2009 the Packers will be looking to return to winning ways after a disappointing 6-10 finish in 2008.
Adding fuel to the fire in 2009, former Green Bay hero Brett Favre recently signed with the team’s hated rival, the Minnesota Vikings. No game will be more intense this year than the Packers’ November 1st game at Lambeau Field against the Vikings. The Packers will also host Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Dallas, San Francisco, Baltimore, and Seattle at Lambeau Field this year.
