[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 541029"] Besides the stock issuance and stadium expansion, the most notable thing I've read coming from above the football operation in the past few years is the buying up of land around the stadium. The value of the land took a big hit during the financial crisis; to what degree it has recovered I'll leave to the locals. What's it for? The stated purpose is to develop an entertainment district around the stadium, something that will generate more revenue during game weeks and for the other 40 - 42 weeks during the year. They've done this in Indy around the dome, but it's supported by other events besides football games as Indy likes to bill itself as the "amateur athletics capital of the world", or at least they used to have pretensions to such. On a large scale, clearly beyond the reach of Green Bay but still an aspirational example, is the LA Forum district.... I'm not sure how this would work in Green Bay, albeit on a smaller scale. Of course, speculation persists that the underlying agenda is a long term plan for a domed stadium, though it's hard to see how they could pull that off in any foreseeable future. [/QUOTE]
