So You Want to Own a Piece of the Cheesehead Heaven? How (Probably) Not to Buy Green Bay Packers Stock
Ah, the Green Bay Packers. A storied franchise, a legion of loyal fans, and a unique ownership structure that's more exciting than a cheese curd festival (and let's be honest, that's saying something). But here's the thing, cheesehead chum: owning a piece of the Pack ain't as easy as tossing back a Spotted Cow at Lambeau.
How To Buy A Packers Share |
First Things First: You Can't Always Get What You Want (Especially Packer Stock)
The Packers are unlike any other NFL team. They're a non-profit, community-owned by its shareholders – yes, that means you and millions of your fellow cheeseheads (in theory). But unlike publicly traded stocks, Packer shares aren't exactly available on whim. The team only holds stock sales occasionally, the last one being in February 2022. So, buying shares is kind of like that legendary Lambeau Leap – thrilling when it happens, but you gotta wait for the opportunity.

But Hey, There's Always Hope (and Cheese Curds)!
Fear not, fellow fan! Here's how to stay in the loop for the next glorious Packer Stockapalooza:
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.![]()
- Become a Packer Backer: This is the official fan club, and members get the inside scoop on future stock offerings. Plus, you get access to exclusive events and whatnot – you know, bragging rights for the ultimate cheesehead.
- Stalk Lambeau Like a Discount Cheese Sale: Okay, maybe don't literally stalk Lambeau Field. But keep an eye on the Packers official site (https://www.packers.com/) and social media. They'll announce any future stock sales there.
- Prepare Your Cheesehead Currency: While the exact details will vary depending on the next offering, past sales allowed purchases with credit cards, debit cards, and even good ol' fashioned checks. Just make sure you have your financial cheese curds in order when the time comes.
Bonus Tip: Befriend a time traveler. Seriously, your best bet for a guaranteed share might be convincing someone from 1997 to bring you one back. Just sayin'.

In Conclusion: Patience is a Virtue (Especially When It Comes to Cheese)
So, while owning a piece of the Packers might be a dream, it's a dream that requires some cheesehead patience. But hey, that just gives you more time to perfect your Lambeau Leap form and brush up on your cheesehead lingo. After all, you gotta be ready to mingle with your fellow shareholders when that glorious stock sale finally arrives.
