This gets swept under the rug in all of the press releases. There are a few Green Bay families who control Board seats and have no interest in relinquishing that influence. Hence, the 1000:1 split before the the 1997 stock sale. They also put caps on how many shares a new shareholder can purchase (currently 200 across the 1997, 2011, and 2021 stock sales). Someone would have to spend $60,000 ($300 x 200) to have 1/5 of the influence as someone who bought one $5 share in 1950. That’s not a typo. The old class of shares from 1923, 1935, and 1950 were sold for $5 (or about $75 in today’s dollars). Some families effectively bought 1,000 shares for $75 total while a single share today costs $300. I would love to see an investigative piece on who actually controls the Packers’ Board.
