Packers would never come close to getting taxpayer support to build a practice center.

I agree. They're kind of like scotch whiskey. You have to acquire a taste for it. If you work next door to a distillery that makes it, it's not necessarily your choice of drinks.

Also as you mentioned the stadium barley passed by the skin of their nose. Packers come ask the city to help pay for just a practice center so the players can have al nice bells and whistles working out? They would be laughed at by taxpayers.

Not sure how we got off the rail on the funding sources for a new practice center.

I was kind of thinking that GB would use it's credit facility it is opening along with some money from the NFL credit facility as well as some corporate sponsorship/support. I wouldn't ask for any referendum.

For what the Phins built for $135M, I'd guess GB could build for 20% less, mostly because of real estate cost.

For Miami though how much was off-set by sponrship of build and such. I think GB would have harder time being GB for people to want naming rights to sponsor a practice center.

And I don't think any corporate sponsorship would make up a large % of the overall cost.

10%? Maybe less?

Heck, Giannis could cover that cost with pocket change.

Exactly. Your not going to push a referendum for a practice facility. That’s just bad business. There is a reason that they are looking at a credit facility

I’m not even convinced the new facility is in Brown County. Hell Carolinas is in South Carolina.
 
Only issue I have is Packers have had traditon of going to Lambeau across the street to practice and ride bikes and walk and talk and sign autographs with the crowd. GB loves their traditon and I am not sure they would be willing to move miles away and give it up. I could see them try to modern on the current site.
