Bio: The Packers are one of the oldest and most interesting franchises in the NFL. They are the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States. In essence, this is a team run by the fans. The fans show up in support of this club too. The population of tiny Green Bay is a little over 100,000 people. But the stadium, which holds 72,928 people, fills to capacity every single game.
The Packers have won 13 league championships (more than any other team in the NFL), including nine NFL championships prior to the Super Bowl era and four Super Bowl victories. Since 1993 the team has recorded only 2 seasons with a losing record, and has missed the playoffs only 5 times. Their success over NFL history has led to Green Bay earning the nickname “Title-Town”.
The Packers are currently led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who is believed by many to be the most talented quarterback in the NFL. His throwing accuracy, complete with good mobility, make Rodgers the most dangerous man playing the position. On defence, Green Bay relies on star pass rusher Clay Matthews, who resembles comic book icon Thor with his long blonde hair and bulging muscles.
To support the Green Bay Packers is to enjoy cold weather games. Up in Wisconsin temperatures for home games can reach well below freezing, leading to some of the most classic match-ups in NFL history.
