[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 531022, member: 5830"] Disagree. The pure fact is that Green Bay is the smallest metropolitan market with a major sports team by far. With roughly 300,000 in the [U]metro[/U] area, GB is much smaller than the next NFL market of Jacksonville with 1.3 million people. Compare that to the 22 million in New York. ALL teams have regional support to varying degrees, and yes, the Packers enjoy stronger than most but they also enjoy strong national support as Oshkosh has mentioned. So it's not overblown. Professional teams want to play in big cities because it increases revenue and profit from a bigger pool of potential fans. To do so in such a small market is incredible. It transcends the traditional professional sports model to build a fan base that is stronger from long-distance than what you can draw from locally. FYI: The Regina Roughriders lays claim to the smallest metro population if you want to include the CFL. [/QUOTE]
