My point wasn't that the tickets get willed, my point is that many of those 'fans' that get the willed seats end up StubHubing/TicketMastering/CraigsListing them. Thus exposing the 'mystery' behind Green Bay's fabled 'great fanbase'.

Foster said the fan base was such a great fan base because of the length of the time it would reportedly take to become a new season ticket holder. I just explained why that was. Thus, pointing out that the fan base isn't all that great.

At any time I can get tickets to a game in Lamblow, just like at any time you can get tickets to the Dump.

You have nothing to debate here. You guys signed Donovan McNabb, congrats, then cut him because he is what most thought he was ... done. For your teams sake, hopefully they get a good QB coach who can help Christian Ponder be something more than the last drafted Vikings QB's.

The waiting list estimate for actually getting season tickets for the Packers is reportedly approaching a thousand years.

Stop pounding your chest about how great you guys are as a fan base and I'll let it go. At least when you brag about the Lombardi's, it's a legitimate topic.

As for pounding chest, I'm not. I just stated the facts. Packers fans fill up a damn Family Night game, Pre-Season games and stay to the end, regardless of the score. Vikings fan bail as soon as they feel the game is over, regardless of how much clock is left. Sorry, that's a piss poor fan base. But I suppose you're gonna say that's because there's more to do in Minnesota than Wisconsin, cuz all Wisconsin has is Applebee's.

To be clear, I'm not saying I'm better than you because I root for the Packers and you root for the Vikings. I'm sure there are a lot of great Vikings fans out there who stay to the end. It's just the Packers have visibly a lot more.

It's like the Niners vs Raiders here. When the Niners had Joe & Steve, they'd pack the house and everyone and their Grandma proudly boasted their Niners jerseys. Nowadays, you'd think that there's only one Bay Area team - the Raiders. And the Niners are good this year, but so many fair weather fans have left that they're probably unaware that the Niners will make the Playoffs.

Now the Raiders on the other hand, they can be 3-13 or 13-3. Either way, you'll see Raider jerseys everywhere you look. The place will be packed and the fans will be loud.

Those are real fans. Niner fans? No. Of course, not denying the existence of real Niner fans. I'm just sayin' they're a minority.

My next door neighbor converted this weekend.

It takes some time, but I have a high percentage rate, lol

He's about 50, lifetime Eagles fan, season-ticket-holder until last year...

Packer fan now.

He hated the Vick signing, so he was already vulnerable to my (subtle-but constant) pitch.

NEXT!

I'm enjoying the Formo beatdown by the way boys. I really don't need to add anything.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : *years

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Packers introduce 1923-inspired classic uniform, leather-look helmet

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Happy to see site feels more snappy snappy

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
